Ava Sambora Marries Tyler Farrar as Parents Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora Celebrate Together

The 28-year-old Ava Sambora said "I do" to Tyler Farrar this past weekend in a picturesque outdoor setting in Montecito, California. The Saturday, May 16 nuptials brought together her parents—actors Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora—who were photographed walking alongside the bride on the lawn before the ceremony began.

Richie walked his daughter down the aisle, and the former couple remained seated together throughout the proceedings. Heather's current partner, actor Lorenzo Lamas, was also present at the celebration.

The pair's relationship dates back to 2019, when they first made their romance public through social media posts. Their engagement was announced in February 2024.

Heather shared her joy on Instagram, posting a photo from the day with the caption: "Second best day of my life. First was the day she was born. Sweetest couple ever. Congratulations."

Ava has built a career as both a model and actress. She earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from Loyola Marymount University and went on to complete a master's degree in marriage and family therapy from USC.

Tyler works as an investment associate at Pacific Partners Real Estate in Los Angeles, according to his professional profile.

During a November 2024 appearance on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast, Richie spoke warmly about his future son-in-law. "It's like, you know, my speech [at the engagement party] was they're really in love. I love the kid," he said. "I mean I've taken him on vacation. I like to put him right in the limelight so I get to know him, I get to see him, we get to talk."
