Heather Locklear ‘Plans to Say Yes’ When Lorenzo Lamas Proposes: ‘Finally Found Her Prince Charming’

Heather Locklear is head over heels for boyfriend Lorenzo Lamas and a source says they’re already mapping out a long-term future… with pals forecasting an imminent engagement!

“They have known each other for over 40 years, so this is not some new connection,” the source tells Closer. “Lorenzo has always had a huge crush on Heather, but the timing has never been right for them. To finally be able to make this fantasy a reality after so long is pretty intoxicating for him.”

Locklear, 64, is “just as swept up,” adds the source. “She had given up hope of ever feeling this lovestruck again, so it’s a very welcome surprise to suddenly be living out this rom-com worthy plotline.”

One that may soon lead to wedding bells.

Lamas, 68, has gotten the “stamp of approval” from Locklear’s daughter Ava, 28, reveals the source, but “it’s hard to imagine she will support her mom rushing down the aisle.”

Notes the source: “In a year or two, if things are still going well, then people in Heather’s life will be all for her getting hitched, but not this quickly.”

As Closer previously reported, there are those in Locklear’s world who have their concerns.

“The fact that Lorenzo has been married [six] times already is not a great sign,” admits the source, although that’s “not dissuading” the Melrose Place alum. “She says she’s finally found her Prince Charming and when he pops the question she plans to say yes, no matter who objects.”
