Heather Locklear and her rock-star husband Richie Sambora are splitting up, the actress's rep, Cece Yorke, tells PEOPLE.
"After 11 years of marriage Heather Locklear has filed for divorce from Richie Sambora," says the rep. "This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time."
In paperwork filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Locklear requests physical custody of the couple's 8-year-old daughter, Ava Elizabeth, with visitation rights for Sambora. The actress cites "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. According to the divorce petition, the couple signed a prenuptial agreement that determines how their assets will be divided.
The couple, who were married Dec. 17, 1994 in Paris, were introduced by Locklear's friend, makeup artist Lisa Christy. Seven months later, Sambora, the guitarist for Bon Jovi, popped the question.
The day after the proposal, Locklear, who was then starring on Melrose Place, proudly flashed her pear-shaped diamond engagement ring from Cartier while attending the Emmys. They soon set up house in Locklear's airy, four-bedroom home in L.A.
Locklear and this is the second marriage for Locklear, 44, who split from Motley Crue dummer Tommy Lee in 1993 after nearly eight years of marriage. This was the first marriage for Sambora, 46, who previously dated Cher.
Locklear's TV credits include Spin City, Dynasty and T.J. Hooker. She recently starred opposite Hilary Duff in The Perfect Man.
We cannot be serious ALL the time.
We would go crazy.
Never heard of Sugarland (not into country music) but just did a search. Hoofah! she's a hottie!
44 is young!
So nice to know he's free!
Cool...
Now all I need is an address and a phone number ;)
I have this friend who looks exactly like her--same facial features (they could be twins) complexion, natural blonde (not sure if Heather is), blue eyes, same body type, size and build. Basically, if Heather ever disappeared from a movie set and they needed a double that could fool everyone, this friend of mine could do the job. BUT, she has no idea she looks that much like Heather. She wears very little makeup, has her hair cut unattractively and insists on going around in long, baggy tunic-type tops and unnattractively-cut baggy jeans. She could be a knockout if only she'd see how pretty she is.
You should watch CMT. I cannot believe that CMT has turned into what MTV used to be. A lot young attratcive female country singers who are not afraid to be sexy and just flaunt it.
I can just hear millions of male FReeper bellies being sucked in as they anticipate the possibility of meeting a single Heather Locklear.
But to a chilly 55, a lukewarm 44 can be a steam bath.
I couldn't afford her. Although we would have beautiful children together.
Find out when it is replaying on CMT .. the title is something like "Great Duets".. Awesome.. and she is squirming all over the stage....Just dreaming....oh,ah, I'm sorry, where was I?
Or like jumping into the fireplace! We older guys need to pace ourselves. We are frogs in search of the slowly heated pot.
Yeah buddy!
(Hope Mrs. Lurkin isn't ... well ... lurkin'!)
the sad part, mathematically, 44 goes into 55 more times than the other way around
being 55 myself.
Chill out...she be yours when I'm done. Shouldn't take more that 15 or 20 seconds. Wake me up if I forget!
and your the first one to run & read 'em!! lol!
