Let’s talk about Heather Locklear. You know her from the iconic days of Melrose Place, and now she’s back in the spotlight, shining brighter than ever. On the Nashville set of her upcoming Lifetime movie, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff: The Kristine Carlson Story, Heather was nothing short of radiant. She lit up the set with her laughter and brought warmth to everyone around her. An insider shared, “Heather is thrilled to be back at work. She’s super professional, but she also keeps things light with her great sense of humor.”
For those who may not know, Heather’s journey hasn’t always been smooth sailing. After stepping away from the camera in 2017, she faced some personal challenges, including a stint in rehab and an arrest in 2018 following an altercation at her home. But Heather didn’t let those setbacks define her. She pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges and completed court-ordered rehab. Today, she’s celebrating her second year of sobriety, proving that life truly does have a way of turning around for the better. “I’ve realized that no matter what happens, life goes on, and it’s always brighter on the other side,” Heather said, reflecting on her journey.
And here’s the thing—Heather’s not just focusing on her career. She’s also embracing a new perspective on life, especially when it comes to aging. At 60 years young, she’s adopting a more positive outlook. Back in the day, during her peak fame, Heather admitted to feeling anxious about staying young forever. But now? She’s found peace with aging. “She’s come to understand that wisdom comes with age,” an insider revealed. “Instead of dreading her 60th birthday, she’s looking forward to it. It’s a fresh start, and she’s ready to embrace it fully.”

Love in the Air
On top of her professional and personal growth, Heather’s love life is blossoming too. She’s been dating her high school sweetheart, Chris Heisser, for several years now. Chris, a contractor, has been by her side through thick and thin. Last year, Heather was even spotted sporting an engagement ring, sparking excitement among fans. While the couple hasn’t announced a wedding date yet, insiders say the big day is definitely in the works. “Heather and Chris are completely smitten with each other,” the source gushed. “They spent the summer together on set, enjoying hikes and romantic dinners at outdoor restaurants when she wasn’t filming. Their love is stronger than ever.”
A Message of Hope
It’s no surprise that the Lifetime movie Heather’s starring in carries a powerful message. Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff tells the inspiring true story of Kristine Carlson, who overcame immense tragedy to rebuild her life. The film, set to premiere on October 16, resonates deeply with Heather. “I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance,” she shared. “And I’m determined to make the most of it.”
