Denise Richards & Richie Sambora?

By: Shannon Gossage

Richards and Sambora were seen over the weekend on what appeared to be a date. The two arrived in separate cars at Le Café just outside Los Angeles at around 5 p.m. on Saturday. The two reportedly kissed in the parking lot and then proceeded into the restaurant holding hands. It was reported that they spent their entire meal "gazing into each other’s eyes" and holding hands across the table. Supposedly they exchanged kisses on their hands and then kissed on the lips again. Allegedly, the two left the restaurant about 45 minutes later and drove off in the same car.

Both Richards and Sambora are currently in the midst of divorces. Sambora is estranged from Heather Locklear, his wife of 11 years and mother of his eight-ear old daughter, Ava. The two reportedly separated after Locklear found racy emails and pictures of Sambora’s former assistant. Sambora says nothing untoward ever happened, but reportedly that was the final straw for Locklear. The two separated in February and so far things have been fairly amicable. Locklear has even allegedly moved on with funnyman David Spade.

Amicable would not be a word used to describe Richards’ divorce from her Charlie Sheen. Richards abruptly filed for divorce from her husband of nearly three years last March while six-months pregnant. Sheen was on hand when Richards gave birth to their second daughter, Lola, in June. The two tried to reconcile in November and even went on a romantic trip to Barbados in December where they allegedly fought the entire time. Now Richards has filed court papers alleging that Sheen abused her and threatened her life. The two are now involved in a nasty he said she said court battle.
