A classic 1990s television romance is officially blooming off-screen. Representatives for actor Lorenzo Lamas have confirmed to E! News that he is dating fellow '90s icon Heather Locklear, putting an end to weeks of speculation.
The couple's connection reportedly began several months ago. Photographs published by TMZ captured the pair celebrating New Year's Eve together at Barry's Steakhouse in the Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. In the images, the 68-year-old Lamas and 64-year-old Locklear are seen posing with the restaurant's chef and sampling dishes.
This new relationship for Locklear follows the end of her engagement to high school sweetheart Chris Heisser in May 2025, after five years together. She had previously spoken fondly of that relationship, telling People magazine in 2021, "I'm like, 'You're my man for the rest of my life, whether we get married or not.'"
Locklear's romantic history includes marriages to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee (1986-1993) and Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora (1994-2007), with whom she shares daughter Ava, now 28. She was also previously engaged to her Melrose Place co-star Jack Wagner.
Lamas, known for his role on Falcon Crest, brings his own extensive relationship history to the pairing. The actor has been married six times and is a father to several children from previous relationships.
Interestingly, Lamas has previously shared relationship advice with his daughter Victoria, who was once rumored to be dating Leonardo DiCaprio. In a 2022 interview with The New York Post, he advised, "I told her to treat the relationship like a holiday. Just enjoy it as much as you can for as long as it lasts."
The confirmation of this relationship reunites two prominent figures from the era of iconic primetime soap operas, sparking nostalgia among fans of 1990s television.
