Scott Baio, star of Happy Days, met Heather in 1983 and fell deeply in love with her. “She is the best woman in the world, and I just ruined it,”
Baio said to People, referring to Heather Locklear as the first person he ever fell in love with. The romance ended because Baio was unable to truly commit, despite their shared sentiments.
Additionally, Heather briefly dated Mark Harmon, the 1980s Hollywood heartthrob and star of NCIS. Harmon subsequently said,
“It began around Christmas [1984], but was over by New Year’s,” despite the briefness of their affair. After meeting at a REO Speedwagon show, Heather married Tommy Lee,
Drummer for Mötley Crüe, in 1985. I found the picture thrilling since he was a naughty lad. Perhaps that was how I rebelled,” she said.
