Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee has had several tumultuous and high-profile relationships and has been married to a bevy of beauties.
He and his ex-wife Pamela Anderson, with whom he has his only two sons, are frequently mentioned together, often because of their infamous sex tape leaked on the internet in 1996.
His current wife, Brittany Furlan, says despite all the rumors surrounding his relationship with Anderson, it was actually his second wife, actress Heather Locklear, who had his heart.

“Everyone glorifies his relationship with Pam, but he’s been married to Heather for years [nearly] for eight years,” she told People magazine, even calling her “the one who got away.”

“She was the love of his life,” she admits. “I see it because she’s just a fun, sweet, caring, amazing person. … Tommy even says he screwed up that relationship. He cheated on her. To this day, they’re still really good friends because of that,” she said of the former couple.

“I yell at my husband and I’m like, ‘I can’t believe you cheated on her. She’s so cool,'” she explains of Locklear, with whom she has developed a relationship.
“That was a different time. He was 25 years old, 26 years old. No excuses, but he’s a very different man now than he was all those years ago. You live and learn.”

Locklear and Lee were married from 1986 to 1993 and were able to maintain a friendship.
“Heather and I are very close. She’s amazing, I love her,” Furlan adds of her own relationship with her husband’s ex. “I think she’s the friendliest and most down to earth person. Of course we got to know each other through Tommy and have become closer. She’s just very cool, very kind, just supportive and just all around a cool woman.”

Lee’s third marriage to Anderson began in 1995 and the couple divorced in 1998. Their relationship imploded after Lee was arrested on spousal abuse charges and served six months in prison. The couple have two sons together, Brandon Thomas, 27, and Dylan Jagger, 25.
With the recent release of Anderson’s book, Love, Pamela, and the documentary, Pamela, a Love Story, their relationship has received renewed media attention.
In her book, Anderson wrote of Lee, “My relationship with Tommy was maybe the only time I’ve ever been truly in love.”
