Sambora / Locklear 58

HOLLYWOOD - Richie Sambora's divorce battle with Heather Locklear�has taken a turn for the better after the couple were spotted kissing and caressing each other at their daughter's softball game.

The couple are facing a bitter custody battle for eight-year-old Ava Elizabeth, but it appears they might reunite before the divorce trial hits the courtroom if a show of affection over the weekend is anything to go by.

Sambora, wearing a sling on his broken left arm, was spotted tenderly kissing his estranged wife, while Locklear giggled and chatted with her ex, at one point touching the rocker's backside.

The signs suggested things aren't quite as bad as they seem--Sambora filed papers in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this month, seeking joint custody of his daughter. He is also seeking to enforce their premarital agreement, signed the day before he wed the actress in 1994.

Both stars cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.

Meanwhile, Locklear's publicist insists people are reading too much into the couple's weekend meeting--and the divorce is still on: "They both went to their daughter's softball game. Ava is the priority for both of them. That's it."
