Locklear’s life has been a rollercoaster ride of triumphs and hardships. Her battles with drug and alcohol addiction have not only subjected her to legal troubles but also significantly impacted her physical appearance. Throughout the years, she has sought help through nearly 20 rehab stays, bravely sharing her struggles as she strives to overcome her addictions.
Locklear’s path to finding love has also been tumultuous. After two failed marriages to rockers Tommy Lee and Richie Sambora, she found happiness with Chris Heisser. They got engaged four years ago, rekindling their connection from their high school days at Newbury Park High School. Locklear’s daughter, Ava, from her marriage with Sambora, recently got engaged to her partner Tyler Farrar after four years of dating. The love and support from her fiancé and daughter have undoubtedly been a source of strength for Locklear in her journey towards healing and redemption.
Unfortunately, Locklear’s personal struggles have often spilled into the public eye. Police have been frequently called to her residence over the years. In 2018, she made headlines when she was arrested for domestic violence and assault against an officer. Locklear pleaded guilty to all charges, leading to a sentence of 30 days of involuntary commitment to a mental health facility and 120 days of suspended imprisonment.
