AceShowbiz - Denise Richards and Heather Locklear were friends until "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum began dating the latter's ex-husband, Richie Sambora. After splitting from Heather in 2006, the Bon Jovi guitarist started romancing Denise amid her own divorce from actor Charlie Sheen.
Speaking about the awkward situation, Denise told Entertainment Tonight in June 2006, "The thing with Heather, that's been hard... You can't help who you fall for and that friendship, unfortunately, was done and wasn't salvageable." She also denied being a homewrecker, explaining to Us Weekly, "We were friends and we were both going through divorces, and that's what drew us to each other... I did not steal someone's husband. Did I date a former friend's ex-husband? Yes. Did I break up a marriage? No."
