Heather Locklear was spotted looking happy and healthy alongside her fiancé Chris Heisser after recently sparking concern with her seemingly erratic behavior.
The couple was all smiles while holding hands and shopping at the Westlake Village Farmers Market in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon. Locklear, who was dressed in a long white blouse with sneakers and a baseball cap, cradled her dog in her arms during the outing. She appeared to be in good spirits as she browsed the produce and chatted with vendors.
The sighting comes after Locklear, 61, was photographed looking distraught outside of a medical center in Malibu, Calif., late last month. The actress was seen scaling the ledge of the building following her visit, holding onto pillars for support as she maneuvered her way around the office to avoid falling into the parking lot and dumpster below. She then spent nearly an hour sitting on the steps, apparently talking to herself.
Despite raising fears about her health, a source told Page Six last week that the actress is “totally lucid” and “feeling good.” The insider shared that the “Dynasty” star had received some “upsetting news” that day, but was not otherwise troubled. “She was definitely upset,” they said.
The source also shot down a report from the Daily Mail, which claimed that Locklear was drinking again after years of sobriety. Although she has struggled with substance abuse and been to rehab about 20 times, the insider told us: “Heather is most definitely not drinking, she hasn’t for years.”
“She’s very upset at that allegation, it’s super hurtful.”
Locklear’s friend Sharan Magnuson, who has been close to the star since meeting in acting class in 1981, also told Page Six: “I just FaceTimed with Heather today and she’s doing great.” She added, “We text all the time and we had lunch together only a few weeks ago, we had the best time, we laughed and reminisced. Heather looked fantastic, she was lucid – she’s the best she’s looked in years.”
“She’s 100 percent the Heather I know and love, I don’t know who is trying to spread these rumors that she’s unwell, but it’s incredibly cruel.”
As for the photos, Magnuson added: “Everyone is allowed a bad day.”
The recent sighting of Locklear appears to support the claims of her friends and supporters that she is doing well. However, it is important to remember that mental health can be a complex issue, and that even those who are doing well can experience setbacks from time to time. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, please reach out for help. There are many resources available, and you don’t have to go through this alone.
