Heather Locklear & Lorenzo Lamas Arrive at Chiller Theatre Expo – Celebrity News & Fan Reactions 2026

Heather Locklear and Lorenzo Lamas made their first public appearance as a couple at the Chiller Theatre Expo in Parsippany, New Jersey, on April 24, 2026, confirming their relationship after months of speculation.

The duo arrived together at the Hilton hotel venue, both dressed in black leather, drawing attention from fans and media present at the event. Their arrival was captured in a social media post by the account nonstopsignatures, which showed them walking into the expo and quickly gained traction online with hundreds of likes and comments.

Lorenzo Lamas had announced their joint appearance on X (formerly Twitter) on April 16, 2026, stating they would be attending the Chiller Theatre Expo from April 24 to 26 and expressing excitement about seeing his “peeps,” noting that Locklear felt the same way. The announcement followed confirmation from Lamas’s representative to E! News that the pair were dating.

Representatives for both Locklear and Lamas did not respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital regarding their relationship status at the time of the announcement.

Locklear, 64, is widely known for her roles as Sammie Jo Carrington on Dynasty and Amanda Woodward on Melrose Place. She previously ended a five-year relationship and engagement to Chris Heisser in May 2025. In 2021, she told People magazine that marriage to Heisser was “not so important,” emphasizing that love, support, and companionship were what mattered most in a relationship.

Lamas, recognized for his role as a framed cop on the television series Renegade and his early work on Falcon Crest, has a history of multiple marriages. He was first married to Victoria Hilbert in the early 1980s, followed by a marriage to publicist Michele Cathy Smith. His public confirmation of dating Locklear marks a significant development in both of their personal lives after years of high-profile relationships.

Their relationship had been the subject of rumors since photos emerged of them celebrating New Year’s Eve together in Las Vegas, which were initially shared by TMZ. The Chiller Theatre Expo appearance served as their first official public outing as a couple, putting an end to speculation and confirming their romance to fans and the media.

At the event, Locklear waved at cameras as they entered through the kitchen area of the Hilton hotel, a moment described by attendees as having a “Goodfellas style” flair. The couple was greeted by enthusiastic fans, and their coordinated black leather outfits were noted as a standout feature of their arrival.

The Chiller Theatre Expo, held annually in Parsippany, New Jersey, draws fans of horror, science fiction, and cult television, making it a fitting venue for two 1980s and 1990s television icons to reconnect with their audience. Their presence at the expo highlighted their enduring popularity and relevance in pop culture circles.

Neither Locklear nor Lamas has publicly discussed the details of how they rekindled their connection, though Locklear had previously spoken in December 2025 about her hopes to find love again, expressing wishes for her family’s health and happiness, including her mother, daughter, and pet.

Their appearance at the Chiller Theatre Expo marks a notable moment in entertainment news, bringing together two well-known figures from decades of television history in a confirmed romantic partnership that has captured public interest.
