Heather Locklear Is ‘Ready to Date’ After Splitting With Chris Heisser

23 May 2025 at 05:15

Heather Locklear is back on the market after quietly parting ways with her fiancé Chris Heisser.

Multiple sources exclusively confirm to Us Weekly that the Melrose Place alum, 63, is single after dating Heisser, also 63, for many years.

“Heather and Chris are no longer together,” a source exclusively shared with Us. “Heather is single and she’s ready to date again.”

Another insider added, “She hasn’t seen Chris since the New Year but wishes him all the best.”

Stars Who've Gotten Sober

While details surrounding the split remain private, the first source said it was “a slow fizzle” and nothing dramatic happened. “They are still friends and support each other’s sobriety,” the source added.

“They are not spending as much time with each other. It’s minimal,” the source continued. “She’s focusing on herself. She is sober and doing really well.”

Back in June 2020, Us Weekly confirmed that Locklear and Heisser were engaged after a years-long on-again, off-again relationship.

After briefly dating in high school during the ‘70s, the pair reunited in 2017 and rekindled their romance. The duo briefly split in 2019 before getting back together one year later.

“They each go out of their way to make the other feel special — she’ll cook for him, he’ll buy her flowers, etc,” a source told Us at the time of the engagement. “They are still planning on getting married and still want a small and intimate wedding but of course because of COVID, they’re taking things slow and trying to figure out details.”

Instead of planning a wedding, Locklear is now enjoying quality time with her gal pals and daughter Ava, 27, who she shares with ex Richie Sambora.

“Heather’s main focus is her sobriety, gardening, cooking, and spending quality time with her daughter Ava and her friends,” the source shared.

Heisser isn’t the only ex Locklear remains on good terms with.

After playing love interests on Melrose Place, Locklear and Jack Wagner began dating in 2007 before getting engaged in August 2011. Although they split three months later, Wagner told Us that the pair still remain cordial.

“Just [for] little things,” he shared in March. “Birthday things or stuff like that. We stay friendly.”

When asked about a possible reboot of the Fox drama, Wagner said he’d be open to it — with a few new faces.

“You have to bring on young, new actors,” he explained. “It can’t be all about us. I don’t know what the longevity or interest in that would be. It would be more about a few of us probably starting the storylines out, letting them take place and then branching off into who their children are now or where they are.”

Why 'The Pitt' Won't 'Necessarily' Show Collins Pregnant After Miscarriage

23 May 2025 at 05:15

After Dr. Heather Collins had a miscarriage on The Pitt, fans may be surprised at season 2’s potential plans — or lack thereof — for her motherhood journey.

During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Tracy Ifeachor explained her takeaway from Collins‘ story line in season 1, saying, “There’s going to be a lot of surprises [in season 2], I’ll just say that. But I try to look at it like she is a person who is a representative of women across the nation who are trying to conceive. Many — I would hope all — at some point will conceive and go on to have children. But some won’t.”

Ifeachor, 39, argued that it wasn’t about the destination but the journey for Collins.

“I feel like whether she does or she doesn’t [have a baby] in the future isn’t necessarily important. It’s that in the moment that we meet her, she’s gone through what so many have — one in four women have miscarriages,” she noted. “In this moment, what is important for me is that she will be someone that can help comfort, can help validate, can help strengthen, can help give hope and can help remove that stigma and that blame that a lot of women feel when they go through this tragic thing.”

Which 'The Pitt' Characters Are — and Aren't — Returning for Season 2

Season 1 of The Pitt, which premiered in January, started a 15-hour shift in the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital with Collins’ secretly celebrating a pregnancy via IVF. Halfway through the day, however, Collins suffered a miscarriage and had to continue working as a senior resident despite the heartbreaking loss.

“The thing that’s the most important to me is that she will encourage people. Because I think I watched something like 300 hours of testimonials of women who’d had miscarriages and were trying and going down the IVF route [or] blastocyst and all these amazing journeys. Because any way you do it, it’s still a miracle,” Ifeachor explained. “It’s still a miracle and there’s so many women hoping for that. So I hope in this season it won’t be about whether she does or she doesn’t go on to [try IVF or have a baby] again. It’s that in this moment it hasn’t worked out. It’s not her fault.”

The actress continued: “She feels all these emotions. Hopefully women across America and the world will be able to relate to her and can take some form of comfort in the fact that they’re not going through this alone. Even people who look like Collins — someone who has everything together and rising to the top of her profession and really accomplished. She’s a medical person who knows how to take care of her body but these things can still happen even to people like that. I hope that that strengthens them and encourages them. I just try to focus on what we’ve seen so far.”

While reflecting on the first season, Ifeachor broke down the information she was given about Collins and how it helped shape her performance.

“I was told she comes from finance and that after the [stock market], there was just a feeling that she needed a change. There was a mentor called Dr. Adamson who died of COVID. We touched on that briefly and she just decided to make that switch later on in life,” Ifeachor recalled. “For me, that really gave me a very black and white pursuit of excellence. Because in finance, there’s a number that you arrive at because 2 plus 2 is 4. There’s a pursuit of excellence that she has that I feel like hopefully we brought to Dr. Collins in both the writing and in the performance.”

Which TV Shows Are Renewed in 2025-2026?

Ifeachor also spent time building out Collins’ interest in becoming a mother, adding, “I really had to look at why people decide to have children. I am from a Nigerian background and it is just what you do. Where are your 10 kids? Everybody has at least four. My auntie has one and people would stop her on the street going, ‘Oh, what happened? How can we pray for you? Obviously there’s been some tragic mistake here.'”

She continued: “So when you look at that, a lot of people feel — and I share this thought and this wouldn’t be my reason — but there’s so much [going on] in the world, why not bring a little more good into it and leave something behind as well? So when you are constantly pouring out to other people and you’re literally saving lives every day you go to work, sometimes that doesn’t work out and sometimes it does.”

The Pitt‘s structure of an hour representing an hour of a shift doesn’t always allow the audience to spend too much time in a character’s state of mind. But Ifeachor could see why Collins was at a place in her life where she wanted to expand her family no matter what.

“Sometimes you just want a little piece of yourself that is yours. You just want this person that’s yours that you take care of. When you feed into this person, they don’t just get well and walk out the door and you never really see them again,” she told Us. “You want that person to hold onto you. You want that little piece of yourself. I feel like for Collins, she definitely wanted that. She didn’t have that and she decided to take matters into her own hands and try to create a family and create this wonderful bundle of joy herself, which unfortunately didn’t work out.”

Ifeachor went on to explain the collaborative experience that came with bringing Collins’ voice to life.

What to Know About ‘The Pitt’ Season 2: From Possible Cast Exits to Spinoffs

“I’m a big believer in a person just being a person and then letting the audience decide how they want to receive them. So oftentimes in my career, I don’t tend to typically play that kind of person. I want to play the content of that character. Then when that’s not talked about, we then are now able to invite an audience to ask questions,” she detailed. “Whereas if we are always hammering over people’s heads, it also doesn’t feel true to a lived experience that I’ve lived — but it then doesn’t give the audience an opportunity to ask. There’s a line in the show where Collins says, ‘The risks are not the same as they are for you.’ Originally that was written a little differently and my hat off to [creator] R. Scott Gemmill, he listened to what my thoughts were on the situation. It was a lovingly respectful conversation.”

She added: “I said, ‘I feel like, would it be this way? What are we really asking here? Is it that she’s a woman? Is it that she’s a Black woman? Is it about education levels? What is it?’ He was like, ‘Well, it’s all of those things.’ I said, ‘Great but if we reduce it down to one thing and label it and name it then we are not giving the audience the credit that we both know that they deserve and they need.’ It’s going to really enhance and lift the show, the character and the scene if we are not labeling the why. We are just leaving it open to other people to decide, ‘Well what does she mean?’ Then we invite conversation.”

Ifeachor’s commitment to enriching Collins’ story line has only made fans — and Us — more excited to see more of her in season 2. Despite Collins being a fan-favorite, no returns have been confirmed ahead of the second season.

“Listen, there is going to be an amazing cast in season 2 — just as there was in season 1. I’m just going to leave it there,” Ifeachor teased. “I’m not a [plot] ruiner. I’m not even going to tell you who is or is not going to come back. I’m just going to say I want you to watch season 2 and just enjoy it as much as you’ve watched season 1. Hopefully there’ll be seasons 3 and 4 and 7.

The Pitt has been renewed for season 2 and is currently streaming on HBO Max.

Hailey Bieber Marks Son Jack's 9-Month Milestone With New Pic: 'Sweet Baby'

23 May 2025 at 05:00

Justin and Hailey Bieber’s son, Jack Blues, is growing up before their very eyes.

“My sweet baby is 9 months old today,” Hailey, 28, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, May 22, sharing a new photo of her son.

In the black-and-white pic, baby Jack sat on the floor, playing with a black mesh bag while he sat opposite the camera with his face hidden from view. The infant wore a casual white T-shirt and a pair of gray sweatpants.

The Rhode founder gave birth to her and Justin’s first child in August 2024.

Hailey Bieber Details 'Difficult' Postpartum Life Amid Justin Split Rumors

“Giving birth was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” Hailey recalled to Vogue in a profile published earlier this week, noting she prepared by doing breathing exercises, acupuncture, yoga, pelvic-floor therapy and more. “I was on that s***. I was doing everything. I felt stronger physically than I ever had before.”

According to the outlet, Hailey was induced at 39 weeks when she started leaking amniotic fluid.

“That was not fun. They broke my water,” she told the magazine in a cover story. “I went into labor and I labored for a few hours. No epidural, nothing.”

Jack was born after 18 hours of labor, shortly before Hailey experienced a postpartum hemorrhage.

“[It] was a little bit scary,” she said. “I trust my doctor with my life. And so I had peace that I knew she would never let anything happen to me. But I was bleeding really badly, and people die, and the thought crosses your mind. You start to get a little freaked out.”

Once Hailey recovered from the procedure, she needed to adjust to her new normal as a parent.

“Being postpartum is the most sensitive time I’ve ever gone through in my life, and learning a new version of myself is very difficult,” she stated to Vogue. “And to be doing that all the while going on the internet every day and people being like, ‘They’re getting divorced and they’re this and they’re not happy’: It is such a mindf***. I cannot even begin to explain it. It’s a crazy life to live.”

Hailey Bieber Celebrates 'Sweet Baby' Jack's 9-Month Birthday

Hailey and Justin, 31, have been married since 2018, recently sparking breakup speculation after fans thought they unfollowed each other on social media. Both Hailey and the “Peaches” singer have fervently clapped back and denied the accusations.

“I’ve learned so much from Justin, really,” she added to the outlet. “He’s been doing this literally since he was a child, and he has had to face the most scrutiny of any person that I know. He was like, ‘Baby, trust me, I’ve been here before many, many times. You’re not going to win. There is no winning.’”

In his own emailed conversation with Vogue, Justin called marrying Hailey “the smartest thing” he’s ever done.

“I’m walking in the days I always dreamed of,” Justin gushed.
