Wedding Jitters! Heather Locklear Is 'Having Second Thoughts' About Marrying Fiancé Chris Heisser, Spills Source
Another bump in the road? It’s been more than a year since Heather Locklear accepted a proposal from longtime boyfriend Chris Heisser — and there are whispers she may have gotten cold feet.
"Heather’s having second thoughts," says an insider. "She loves Chris, but the trouble is they’re either up or down, and when it's bad, its horrendous."
The ex-high school sweethearts, both 59, have been involved in multiple domestic incidents since reuniting in 2017 and put off their April 2020 engagement until Locklear — who has been to rehab more than 20 times for substance abuse — was sober for a year.
"They’ve both had their issues and are in a good place now, but Heather still doesn’t feel she’s ready to say 'I do,'" continues the insider, who says friends and family are encouraging the Melrose Place alum to hold off as long as she has her doubts.
However, "they’re also warning Heather that she can't string Chris along forever," adds the source. "At some point, she’s going to have to get off the fence!"
