Heather and Richie Livin' in Splitsville

Heather Locklear, Richie Sambora, and childHeather Locklear and Richie Sambora have officially finalized their divorce, this according to People magazine. They are now free to marry each other's best friends, if they want to. Or even David Spade.

Lawyers for the former couple met with a judge on Wednesday, according to a mag source, and finished working out all the details of their split, which was filed more than a year ago, in February 2006. No details were given as to the specifics of money or child custody.

The couple were married for 11 years and have a 9-year-old daughter, Ava Elizabeth. Locklear has more recently been linked to her former "Melrose Place" co-star Jack Wagner, and Sambora has been dating Locklear's ex-BFF Denise Richards.

16. I have loved Heather since the 80's when she was on TJ. Hooker. And never was there anybody good enough for her. Not Tommy Lee, Jack Wagner, Tom Cruise. Yes she dated Tom briefly in the 80's and sure as hell not Richie Sambora! She should get together with John Stamos! Imagine what there kids would look like! WOW! Love ya Heather. You're the greatest!

17. It's too bad that Richie had to go into the typical mid life crisis. I'm afraid he's really going to be sorry. Richards is a psycho episode waiting to happen. Watch out for those flying laptops Richie.

Heather will be fine. It's just a shame. I always liked them as a couple, but who lasts in Hollywood?

18. You go Heather...just wishing you and Ava all the best! Unfortunately, the Richie and Denise saga is not over, now they just deserve each other, etc., what a train wreck!

19. One of the rags said that Denise and Richie are "having trouble"; apparently they haven't spent any time together lately and we all know Denise is a fame whore so you know that has to grate on her.

I personally believe Denise is directly responsible for their Heather/Richie breakup.

20. I think Heather and Jack Wagner make a great couple. I loved them together on air and would love to see Heather on the Bold and Beautiful. SHe should go back on tv and she will be a star again!

21. I think Richie should clean up his act and get rid of denise. Then he can start kissing Heathers ass and improve his image.He has totally let himself go......RICHIE take out the trash and get Heather back.

22. Jack Wagnor is even WORSE for heather then Richie was! Doesn't anyone remember what he did ALL DURING his entire marriage to soap actress, Kristina Wagnor???? He cheated on her! And also with hookers! He may be cute ut he will also cheat on Heather and not appreciate her class in the end.

No way - Heather needs A SINCERE man but if she keeps going after rockers and cheaters then we will be seeing her divorced another 3 times..all due to cheating hubby's. Learn from this girl. Stop picking losers!

23. Heather, the same thing happened to me. My first husband and my best friend. I felt like I was sucker punched. I was more hurt that my friend betrayed...not so much my jerk exhusband! It took me quite awhile to get over the betrayal of my friend and be able to form good friendships with women. I married again - my divorce lawyer actually - and 16 yrs later, we're still very happy together and have 4 beautiful kids. You're bright, beautiful and talented, Heather...you'll bounce back.

And while I LOVE BONJOVI, I can't stand to look at Richie anymore. That is a true dirtbag thing to do.

24. I can't help but think of Richie now as a "loser" It was a blessing to see this celeb couple in mags showing their inner beauty within them, with their big smiles and just looking absolutely beautiful.
Now, to see Richie and Denise in pics, all i can see is ---- Eewww.

26. Richie looked classy with Heather, but he looks cheap with Denise....maybe because Denise is cheap. She is a backstabbing, two-face, money-hungry, attention-seeking, Heather-wannabe!!! Now look at what she has.....a fat, bloated, gross looking dusty old fart. And I "use" to think Richie was much hotter than Jon.....now he is just gross!!!! Heather take your time and grow in a positive light from all this trashy-Jerry springer-drama!

27. I LOVE YOU RICHIE!!!!

28. You know I am sooo sick and tired of all the Richie bashing.

The facts are missy Lockleer is going thru a mid life crisis -she old, a has been and her career is down the tubes while his and his band's is wayy up.

Her biggest problem is she had a decent man and screwed around on him-going out with HER ex on her birthday in Sept 05, called Richie Tommy on Regis and Kelly, abusing her daughter on national TV on AI

Yeah, she's realll classy

NOT!!!

29. You go richiefan!! I wish everyone would get the story straight. Heather is not the saint everyone thinks she is.

30. What a silly post #29.

If Heather were so bad Richie would have done the filing for divorce. He did not and instead acted as though he was shocked that she filed.

Heather did not "abuse" Ava on AI. That is so stupid.

Look it takes two to make a marriage fail and Heather is certainly culpable. But Richie is the one that immediately started dating a close friend of Heather's and no matter what Denise says they were very close friends for quite a while. Whether they were friends or not when Richie started banging her is beside the point. That WAS a friend of his wife's. That is just low.

And karma is a bitch when it comes to Richie. He's now fat and looks like he's aged about 10 years in one since Heather filed. Sleeping with Denise has gotten him nothing but bad publicity. If he marries her she'll take him for millions. He just looks really desperate nowadays. Too bad. He use to be a good looking man.
