Sambora / Richards 1
Just days after Denise Richards obtained a temporary restraining order against ex-husband Charlie Sheen, photos have surfaced of the actress being very affectionate with Richie Sambora – the estranged husband of Denise's good friend, Heather Locklear.
Denise and Richie were photographed last week kissing and holding hands in Laguna Beach, California, where Richie owns a house.
On Saturday, Denise, 35, and Richie, 46, arrived at Le Café in the Westlake Village neighborhood outside Los Angeles at about 5 p.m. in separate cars. In the parking lot, the two kissed then walked hand-in-hand, smiling and chatting the entire way as they headed for the restaurant, People magazine reported.
Inside, they shared a table in the covered patio where they gazed into each other's eyes and held hands across the table. Eventually, Richards planted a kiss on Sambora's hand -- and he returned the gesture, kissing hers. They then kissed again on the lips, according to People.
On Friday, Richards filed a 17-page court document claiming that her estranged husband, Charlie Sheen, had threatened to kill her. The actress also claims that during their marriage, Sheen abused prescription medication, had violent mood swings, was a compulsive gambler and visited pornography web sites featuring "very young girls."
Sheen has called Richards' claims "vile" and "baseless."
Richards originally filed for divorce in March of last year, when she was six months pregnant with the couple's daughter Lola. The pair appeared to briefly reconcile after Lola's birth in June, but on Jan. 4, they requested that their divorce proceed with a private arbitrator.
In February, Sambora (the guitarist for Bon Jovi) split from Locklear, his wife of 11 years.
Richie's divorce from Locklear is not yet final. They also have an 8-year-old daughter, Ava.
