Exes Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora had a very good reason to reunite on May 16: their daughter Ava Sambora’s wedding! Ava married husband Tyler Farrar in Montecito, California, and her famous parents were in attendance for the special occasion.

Ava and Tyler got engaged in February 2024, so this big day has been a long time coming. The blushing bride looked gorgeous in a strapless dress as her dad walked her down the aisle.
