Brittany Furlan Lee, wife of Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, celebrated Heather Locklear’s birthday with a public tribute shared on Instagram. The post featured a photo of Brittany with Locklear, Tommy Lee’s ex-wife, marking a gesture of goodwill between the two.
The caption of the post focused on wishing Locklear a happy birthday while expressing affection toward her.
“Happy birthday to the inimitable, Heather,” Brittany Furlan Lee wrote. “I love you.”
The message highlighted a friendly relationship between Brittany and Locklear, despite their respective connections to Tommy Lee.
The warmth behind Brittany’s tribute carries added weight given the history between Locklear and Tommy Lee. Their relationship once defined one of the most talked-about celebrity marriages of the 1980s.
Locklear and Lee first crossed paths at a REO Speedwagon concert before tying the knot in 1986. Their wedding took place at The Biltmore. It drew significant media attention at the time, as two of the decade’s biggest stars joined forces.
The marriage lasted seven years before ending in divorce in 1993. Alleged infidelity on Lee’s part played a role in the split. The divorce closed the chapter on a union that had once captivated fans and tabloids alike.
Locklear recently marked another milestone, turning 65 this year. She celebrated the birthday alongside her boyfriend, actor Lorenzo Lamas. The two have been romantically linked since being spotted together publicly in early 2026.
Locklear’s connection with Lamas actually dates back decades, long before their current relationship. The two first appeared together in a 1983 Playgirl cover shoot. Their reunion more than 40 years later marks a notable full-circle moment in Locklear’s personal life.
Against that backdrop, Brittany’s public birthday message reflects a broader sense of goodwill surrounding Locklear as she moves forward in this new chapter. Former ties remain amicable even decades after her marriage to Tommy Lee came to an end.
