She has been close with her on-off beau since cleaning up after a high-profile stint in rehab.
The couple dated Newbury Park High School in the late 1970s, have been married multiple times, and have had their fair share of ups and downs since reuniting in the fall of 2017.
The pair were a couple before Heather married rockers Tommy Lee from 1986 to 1993 and Richie Sambora from 1994 to 2007, with whom she has one daughter, Ava, 25.
But now new fears grip Heather, who starred in shows like Dynasty, TJ Hooker, and Spin City in the 1980s and ’90s.

Ava was reportedly sitting in the front row when her mother fell out of favor, which began after she and Sambora split in 2006 with drinking under the influence.

In February 2018, she was arrested for domestic violence and assault against a police officer who witnessed the incident at her Thousand Oaks, California, mansion.
She was arrested again in June for allegedly verbally and physically abusing a paramedic who came to her home after a call for help.
Then, in November 2018, she was rushed to the 5150 emergency room — where patients can be hospitalized for 72 hours if they are determined to pose a danger to themselves or others — after her therapist determined she was suffering a nervous breakdown.
In August 2019, Locklear pleaded no contest to eight misdemeanors: five counts of assault against a peace officer, one count of assault against an emergency medical worker, and two counts of resisting, obstructing, or delaying a peace officer.
Those were two separate incidents, with police officers being called to her home in Thousand Oaks after complaints of an argument with Heisser.
She was ordered to complete a 30-day inpatient rehab stay at a psychiatric facility with a 120-day suspended sentence.
