Inside Heather Locklear’s Past Relationship With Tommy Lee

It’s fair to say that the most iconic Hollywood relationships are a little (or a lot) complex. Tommy Lee and Heather Locklear’s whirlwind romance and seven-year marriage falls into this category. Despite how it ended, though, the pair seems to have a strong friendship. Additionally, Lee’s current wife, actor and comedian Brittany Furlan, openly admits that Locklear was the love of her husband’s life. It may sound like an unusual comment coming from Lee’s now-wife, but Furlan believes it to be true.

In a chat with People, Furlan explained that she and Locklear are BFFs: “Heather and I are very close. She’s awesome, I love her. I think she’s the most kind, down-to-earth person. We met through Tommy, obviously, and became close.” Furlan continued, saying, “She was the love of his life. I see it because she’s just a fun, sweet, caring, awesome person. Tommy even says he messed up in that relationship. He cheated on her. To this day, that’s why they’re still really good friends.”

If that wasn’t enough, Furlan went on to reveal that she has scolded Lee in the past for his infidelity during his marriage to Locklear, though she was quick to state he’s a “very different” man all these years later. It’s not often there’s a happy ending in situations like this, but the trio seems to have nailed it despite the odds.
