Heather Locklear Says Jon Bon Jovi Wasn’t at Ava Sambora Wedding
Heather Locklear has addressed online speculation surrounding the wedding of her daughter, Ava Sambora, confirming she attended the ceremony while shutting down rumours that Jon Bon Jovi was there. The questions followed circulating clips showing Ava and her father, ex-Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, performing songs associated with the band during the celebration.
In comments shared on Instagram, Locklear told a fan she was “there watching” and said she had to encourage Sambora to “go up and sing,” after viewers noted she wasn’t visible in the widely shared videos.
Locklear also responded directly when a commenter asked whether Jon Bon Jovi attended, replying: “F*ck no.” The blunt message appeared to end talk of a potential reunion-adjacent moment given the longstanding fan interest in Sambora’s relationship with Bon Jovi’s frontman following Sambora’s departure from the group in 2013.
The wedding still drew attention for placing Locklear and Sambora in the same family setting, echoing a recent moment when Richie Sambora reunited with Heather Locklear at the wedding as their daughter celebrated her marriage.
Locklear and Sambora were married from 1994 to 2007 and share Ava as their only child. While the musical performance clips highlighted Sambora’s deep history with Bon Jovi’s catalogue, Locklear’s comments suggested the day stayed focused on family—without any appearance from the band’s singer.
