A plane crash can be a funny thing – it can make you reassess your life in many ways and, if you’re Richie Sambora from Bon Jovi, it can also make you want to divorce Heather Locklear.
Sadly, Sambora – guitarist in stupid-haired stadium fool band Bon Jovi – and Locklear – an actress who seems to join the cast of American sitcoms with the express intention of killing them stone dead – are to get a divorce after 11 years of superficially happy marriage.
Sometimes, a bit of foresight doesn’t go amiss when things aren’t going
great in your marriage. Rumours have been circulating for more than a
year about the patchy state of the marriage between Heather Locklear
and Richie Sambora (CDs), but they just kept fronting it out, even as
recently as December. back then, Locklear gave a statement to the New
York Daily News saying:
"The real story is that there is no story. The truth is that after 11 years, we are still happily married. Boring but true."
The bloody fibber – she’s just filed for divorce from plane-crash survivor
Sambora, citing – as ever – irreconcilable differences. And she wants
the pre-nup to kick in, too. But wait! This is a celebrity divorce –
where’s the vague rep statement asking for privacy? Oh, here it is:
"This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time."
Thanks
for that, CeCe York. Although, to people in the know, the Heather
Locklear/ Richie Sambora divorce didn’t come as a surprise. According
to gossip pages, the couple grew apart in 2004 after Locklear spent
time on the rubbish ‘thank God it never came to England’ airport sitcom
LAX. And last December, unnamed Sambora insiders complained that
Heather needed:
"24-hour-a-day [butt] kissing … If Richie divorced her, nobody would be heartbroken."
And now they’re divorcing. And nobody is heartbroken. Not us, anyway. How’s that for foresight?

Wait one minute, Heather has no right nor the power to do what she has done to Richie, and he deserves better, I hope Heather gets nothing in the pre nup because Richie has made alot of money and HE DESERVES IT! I feel for Ava, and she should get to see her dad!

i hope heather gets what she deserves (NOTHING)
Emily says
How do you not tell your husband of 11 years that you are filing for divorce, then do it whil he’s out on the road touring?
In my opinion, Heather is a little
cold hearted. She doesn’t deserve him….
Gina says
The truth is, none of us peons really know what’s going on with their private life and/or who’s to blame. Half the time we don’t know the real story with people we actually know. Splitting up is hard no matter who you are, and I feel sorry for both of them. And all this coming from a die-hard Sambora fan..
Wendy says
I have always been a fan of Mr. Samboras and I always liked Heather Locklear until now. Can’t she see that that girl is just trying to ruin their marraige because Richie Sambora fired her?!? How could she not see that? I thought she would be smarter than that! She is going to ruin poor Richie Samboras life over this girl. That is exactly what that girl wants! Heather, you need to wake up and smell the roses!!! I am sure he did not do anything wrong! He loves you.
mara says
I’ve talked with Richie and he has the best heart. It’s Heather who is bored and wanting publicity–she’ s on covers of mags that she only dreamed about a few years ago due to bringing up personal details that Richie is keeping quiet ab out. If he wanted he could ruin her but he isn’t, he is the better person. He is a great guy and I hope he meets someone better who wants more kids because Richie is a great dad.
sally says
Awww,
That is too bad, their poor little girl to grow up without her dad, and that heather filing for divorce, while richie is away and totally denied it and geez kinda made him look the fool!!! Boy, If i was him, i would respond in kind and give her a taste of her medicine.
SamboStrat says
goddamn this. this shattered my belief once again. I know, hollywood marriages fall apart. normal marriages fall apart. but i was somehow hoping theirs would last. I mean, I was so happy for richie back in the 90s when he decided to marry and now, hearing this, makes me really angry with heather. richie indeed did deserve better! hope she gets nothing but what she owns! nothing from him! it’s enough that he’s only nr. 2 in bon jovi and jon gets the most credit.
Tina says
I think Richie made a mistake with Denise, but also I think Heather has a little guilty. Anyway, whatever he makes, I’ll love him….:)))
Rose says
It really makes me laugh when I see things written like this. These so called reporters do not know these people personally and have no idea what goes on in their lives. They have no right to “diss” any of them.
Heather and Richie are real people that had real problems in their marriage for whatever reasons and it didn’t work out between them. SO DAMNED WHAT! It happens! I feel bad for them but such is life. We don’t know what really happened so for any one of us to be negative to either Richie or Heather is completely ludicrous and shows that we don’t know what in the hell we are talking about.
I am sure that if any of the so called “normal” people out there who have had problems in their lives or have gotten divorced from their spouses were in celebrity status, this kind of crap would be written about them too. C’est la vie.
