Actress Denise Richards and Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora are dating again, four years after they split!

Richie, 52, and Denise, 40, started dating in 2006, following Richie’s divorce from actress Heather Locklear and Denise’s divorce from actor Charlie Sheen. The romance caused quite a stir, when Heather accused her friend of having an affair with her husband. The couple only lasted a year.

Now, it looks like the twosome have decided to give their relationship another go and have been spotted on several romantic dates, including a dinner on Sunday night (Oct. 30) at a Japanese restaurant in Woodland Hills, Calif., according to RadarOnline.

A source told E! “They’re very happy and are dating. They never stopped caring for each other.” In fact, Denise wrote all about her relationship with Richie in her tell-all memoir ‘The Real Girl Next Door,’ revealing, “Richie and I shared an easiness I hadn’t before had. We were able to be open, honest, and completely authentic with each other, with no judgment.”

She continued, “I don’t regret my relationship with him. I learned hard lessons from our journey together. My heart may have been bruised, but it was pure. Richie is a wonderful man. He came into my life when I needed him and he needed me. We’ll always have that bond.”

According to TMZ, Richie Sambora has decided to check himself into rehab, after falling off the wagon.

While he hasn’t checked in yet – he will be shortly, maybe even today.

Sambora has long suffered with addiction. In 2007 he checked himself into two different facilities. One in Utah, the other UCLA. In 2008 he plead no contest to DUI after getting arrested in Laguna Beach while driving his daughter.

Sambora is scheduled to go on tour with Bon Jovi, but no word on whether or not he’ll make it.

Denise Richards really likes her men to be bad boys.

After going through a marriage and a rough divorce with Charlie Sheen, Denise moved on to Richie Sambora. After that went south, she’s now rumored to be dating Kat Von D’s ex, Nikki Sixx!

Us Magazine reports:

Richards and Sixx, 52, “have been neighbors for years. They have a lot in common and are taking things slowly,” a source close to the pair tells the new Us Weekly.

Richards (mom to Sheen’s daughters Sam, 6, and Lola, 5) and Sixx, a former heroin addict who has been married to two Playboy models (and who romanced Kat Von D from 2008 to January 2010), had breakfast at Marmalade Cafe in Calabasas, Calif., on the morning of Dec. 12.

“Nikki was telling stories, and Denise was laughing,” says a witness.

Just the night before (his birthday), Sixx alluded to a special someone on Twitter, typing at 10:35 p.m. that he had “a midnight rendezvous planned with a beautiful maiden.”

The new odd couple? What do you think of the pairing?

Richie Sambora has broken a new record after paying $3.58 million for a house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The guitarist shelled out $1,377 per square foot for his new home – the most ever paid for a condominium in the city.

Sambora’s 52nd-floor apartment includes three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms at The Residences at Two Liberty Place, Philadelphia’s tallest building.

New Jersey-born Sambora says, “I’m so excited to finally have a home in Philadelphia.”

The 49-year-old star also owns property in Los Angeles and Laguna Beach, California.

“It’s Complicated” – but worse, it’s tanking!

Denise Richards’ highly touted E! reality TV show is (1) biting it ratings-wise; (2) ex-hubby Charlie Sheen’s kicking her butt divorce court-wise; and (3) romance-wise, she’s gone crawling on her belly like a snake – desperately trying to worm her way back into ex-flame Richie Sambora’s life!

Now don’t drop dead from surprise, but the booze-challenged rocker won’t even take her calls.

Insiders say Denise started phoning and texting Richie nonstop, begging him to rekindle their romance, and he talked to her patiently at first – telling her he’s just not interested, and has a new relationship cooking.

Denise, refusing to take “NO!” for an answer, told pals she’s furious at Richie – yet won’t stop phone/text-stalking!

They’re no longer together, but Heather Locklear can still count on her ex-husband Richie Sambora.

As Locklear, 46, seeks treatment for depression and anxiety at an Arizona facility, the Melrose Place star has Sambora firmly in her corner, says a friend of the couple, who have a 10-year-old daughter, Ava.

“Without a doubt, he’s there for his daughter and her mother,” a friend of the Bon Jovi guitarist tells People. “They may be divorced, but they are raising a little girl they both love very much.”

Sambora, who split from Locklear in 2006 after 12 years of marriage and subsequently dated Locklear’s former friend Denise Richards, is currently performing with Bon Jovi in England until June 28. The band is due to finish their tour in the U.S. with a few East Coast dates in July.

Although he’s on the road, “I’m sure he’s available if Heather should need something and certainly for Ava,” says the pal.
