Heather Locklear Celebrates 65: How Lorenzo Lamas and Her Past Loves Shaped Her Life
By Elena Rostova
In 2017, Locklear reconnected with Chris Heisser, her former sweetheart from Newbury Park High School. Their reunion arrived during an intensely personal period for Locklear, who was working through public legal and mental health challenges. Reconnecting with someone from her youth provided familiarity away from the pressures of show business.
The couple got engaged in 2020, with Heisser standing as a key source of encouragement during Locklear’s sustained sobriety journey. While the pair eventually parted ways quietly around 2023, the relationship proved instrumental in helping the actress rebuild her health and step back from high-stress environments. That period of personal renewal paved the way for the calm presence she displays today.
