Heather Locklear & Tommy Lee's Possible Reunion Sparks Sobriety Fears

Heather Locklear's renewed closeness with ex-husband Tommy Lee is reportedly raising alarms among friends, who worry the reunion could derail her hard-fought path to sobriety.

Locklear recently ended her engagement to longtime love Chris Heisser, closing the door on a five-year relationship with her high school sweetheart.

Heather Locklear and Tommy Lee were married from 1986 to 1993, with the relationship ending over infidelity allegations.

Locklear, who has publicly battled substance abuse, depression, and anxiety, is said to have completed more than 20 stints in rehab. Her friends are reportedly urging caution, worried that Lee's history and current lifestyle might undo her progress.

Close friends disclose that the former couple has been in regular contact for years, but they have started talking more frequently now that they are both single. Sources say there is still "a spark" and that Locklear is open to giving things another shot. An insider shares:

"Considering Heather's long history of addiction, a lot of people feel like Tommy's the last person she should be getting close to right now."

"He still views her as the love of his life, and she feels the same. But a lot of her friends are pleading with her to see sense. Only time will tell if she listens – or takes a colossal gamble," a source for RadarOnline notes. 

Locklear's possible reunion with ex-husband Lee did not come out of nowhere, and insiders say she has been single for longer than most people think.

Locklear and Heisser, who were high school sweethearts, had a rocky relationship that stretched over the years, complicated by her battles with addiction and multiple stints in rehab.

PEOPLE reported that Locklear and longtime partner Chris Heisser, whom she got engaged to in 2020, actually ended things a while back. Although the exact timing of the split is not public, a close friend confirmed that the couple had not been together "for a while" before the news broke last month.

The friend also shared that the 63-year-old has been in a strong, healthy place since the breakup. "She's in a great place. Her friends and family are happy for her—good things in her future definitely," they said.

While rumors of a Locklear and Lee reunion made headlines, Furlan was not ready to walk away from her marriage and reportedly took proactive steps to revive the spark in her own relationship.

The Blast reported that despite public talk of a split, she and Lee managed to keep their romance alive, even turning to unconventional tools like ChatGPT to work through their business in the bedroom.

Sex therapist Vanessa Marin backed the move, explaining that more couples are now using AI to help with intimacy and communication. She encouraged the use of technology to help partners open up, navigate tough conversations, and find new ways to connect emotionally and physically.

Marin, who created her own AI tool "Vanessa A.I.," pointed out that these digital helpers can offer practical support for couples like Furlan and Lee, especially during stressful times.

Amid the talk of a Locklear and Lee reunion, sources said another one of Lee's famous exes had already closed that door for good. Anderson has no interest in giving her relationship with the musician another shot.

Though she and Lee were once a tabloid fixture during their whirlwind romance and three-year marriage, insiders say she has long since moved on, per The Blast.

The former couple, who married in Mexico and had two sons together, saw their relationship unravel in public. And while there may have been lingering feelings at one point, Anderson's circle confirms that she is happy to leave it all behind.

Those close to her describe a sense of relief at being out of Lee's orbit and said the actress has no desire to revisit that chapter. Now focused on her own peace and personal growth, Anderson is said to be enjoying her single life free from the drama of the past.

Anderson once had plans to reconnect with Lee, but romance was not on her mind. The media personality reportedly hoped to mend her relationship with her ex-husband to create a better dynamic as co-grandparents last year.

After their youngest son got engaged, Anderson expressed interest in building a more peaceful relationship with Lee for the sake of their growing family.

She made it clear that she was not aiming to be close friends with the father of her children again, but rather wanted to lay the groundwork for a healthy bond moving forward.

A source claimed that she acknowledged Lee has his path now, and her only focus was on making sure they could support their children and future grandchildren together.

Heather Locklear seems to be ready to write a new chapter with Tommy Lee.
