Locklear & Lamas: From 80s Co-Stars to Real-Life Romance

Actors Heather Locklear and Lorenzo Lamas, who first crossed paths over four decades ago during their nascent Hollywood careers, have been romantically involved for the last six months. Their renewed connection has gained attention, particularly with the recent rediscovery of a provocative 1983 Playgirl magazine cover featuring them in skimpy swimwear.

Locklear, 64, who starred in 'Dynasty' and later 'Melrose Place,' and Lamas, 68, known for his role in 'Falcon Crest' and 'Renegade,' were friends in the 1980s. The Playgirl cover showed Locklear in a red bikini and Lamas in a black Speedo, with the headline proclaiming 'Lorenzo Lamas & Heather Locklear In Very Bare Swimwear.'

Their relationship has progressed with several public sightings since November 2025. Initial appearances included a dinner party in Buffalo, New York, and a New Year's Eve date in Las Vegas. They also attended The Brave & Rescued Awards together on January 17, 2026, walking arm-in-arm. Last weekend, Locklear met Lamas' extended family at her California mansion.

This romance marks a new chapter for both actors. Locklear was previously married to Tommy Lee and Richie Sambora, with whom she shares a daughter. Lamas has been married six times previously and has six children. His latest divorce filing was in 2025.
