Lorenzo Lamas Makes It Clear A Heather Locklear Marriage Isn't Happening In Birthday Tribute
Lorenzo Lamas and Heather Locklear's romance first made headlines in April 2026. TMZ broke the story then, and by May, there were already rumors circulating about Lamas and Locklear being ready for marriage. The two actors had been reportedly dating a while before going public, and they'd also spent decades traveling in similar circles. However, despite the assertions that Lamas was in a hurry to marry again, he creatively quashed this gossip while celebrating Locklear's 65th birthday. "Happy Birthday to my Queen today," he declared in a September 25, 2026, Instagram post. "I jumped in to help cause it's the only cake we'll be cutting together," he added, with a laughing emoji.
Although the cake has candles and clearly says "Happy Birthday" on top, its all-white decoration, along with the couple's joint cutting effort, could dupe some individuals. One poster commented, "people are probably losing their minds until they read the caption." Another responded with a series of laughing emojis. Not everyone who got the joke was convinced, either. "Never say Never," proclaimed another commenter.
Lamas has been divorced six times, and his most recent divorce proceedings with Kenna Nicole Scott reportedly won't be wrapped up until November 2026, so it makes sense that he might not be ready to remarry yet. As for Locklear, her second marriage ended in 2007. When she was engaged to Chris Heisser in 2020, she wasn't in a hurry to marry. "[A wedding] is so not important," she informed People in October 2021. "We're together, and we love each other and support each other. And really that's all that matters."
Lamas and Locklear have bonded in their shared faith
Lorenzo Lamas and Heather Locklear have experience with the ways romance can end, even with the best intentions. With Locklear's most recent engagement, she was convinced it would be forever. Lamas had a similar outlook with his sixth marriage, and he and his then-fiancee even got tattoos to symbolize the permanence of their bond.
For Lamas and Locklear, they've been pleasantly surprised to bond over their shared faith. Locklear's been a staunch churchgoer since childhood and her faith also helped her during her divorces. Even though she didn't mention Lamas by name in her June 2026 "Hollywood & Divine" podcast interview, she seemed to be referring to him when she delighted in having such similar views to her new beau. "When I tell this person I love him, I'm really saying, 'I love you, God.' Because that's what happened. It's from God," Locklear explained. Like Locklear, Lamas' faith stretches back to his childhood and has similarly been a source of comfort for him. In an April 2026 interview with Fox News, he spoke about it and gushed about Locklear: "I mean, I've been through a lot of trial and error, and she is the most amazing woman that I think I've ever met."
Whatever the future holds for Lamas and Locklear, they've been keeping their kids in the loop (Lamas' kids especially seem on board with their romance) and enjoying activities together, like when Locklear's daughter, Ava Sambora, got married in May 2026. Lamas' current stance on not marrying Locklear fits right in with the measured wait-and-see approach that others are advocating for the couple.
