Heather Locklear Brings Lorenzo Lamas to Ava Sambora Wedding
Heather Locklear brought Lorenzo Lamas to Ava Sambora's wedding on Saturday, and the heather locklear appearance came with Richie Sambora at her side long enough to escort their daughter down the aisle. Ava, 28, married Tyler Farrar at the Rosewood Miramar in Montecito, California.

The family photo line matters because it put Locklear, Richie Sambora, and their daughter in the same public frame more than a decade after the marriage that began in 1994 and ended in 2007. They welcomed Ava three years after that 1994 wedding, which turned Saturday into a rare joint appearance for parents who have spent years defining their relationship around co-parenting rather than proximity.
Lamas has been part of the story from another angle. He said at the Chiller Theatre Expo that he never imagined finding lasting happiness with Heather Locklear more than four decades after their early connection.
Richie Sambora in 2014
Richie Sambora put the family arrangement in blunt terms in 2014, saying, "We’re better friends now than ever. If you don’t get along you are messing the kid up. That’s what happens. So you have to put that before whatever s--- is going on. Communication has got to come first," He also said, "There was about a 10-year \"cooling off\" period before the exes were able to be friends."
That earlier cooling-off stretch helps explain why Saturday’s wedding was more than a celebrity appearance list. Locklear and Sambora showed up for the same job — walking Ava down the aisle — with the old split no longer the public center of gravity. For readers tracking the family narrative, the important detail is simple: the parents were there together, and the daughter got the aisle walk that matched the occasion.

Ava’s wedding to Tyler Farrar closes the loop on a family story that started with Locklear and Richie Sambora in 1994, moved through their 2007 divorce, and now lands on a shared ceremony in Montecito. The cleanest read on the day is that the adults handled the optics the way grown-up family business should be handled — together, in public, for their daughter.
