Heather Locklear’s daughter, Ava Sambora, has grown up to be the spitting image of her famous mother, leaving many in awe of their striking similarities. Not only do they share physical resemblances, but their interests and personalities also mirror one another.
Born to two well-known parents, Ava Sambora has garnered attention for how closely she resembles her mother. Ava is the only child of Heather Locklear and her ex-husband, Richie Sambora, the guitarist from Bon Jovi. As Ava approaches her 26th birthday in October, the world can’t help but notice how she has inherited her mother’s warmth, charm, and talent.
Ava was introduced to Hollywood’s glitz and glamour from a young age, growing up surrounded by some of society’s most elite members. Heather Locklear, celebrated for her roles in TV shows like “Melrose Place” and “Dynasty,” and Richie Sambora, a former member of Bon Jovi, passed down their talents to Ava, who seems destined to follow in their successful footsteps. Although she pursued a degree in psychology, acting has been a significant passion for Ava. She made her debut in 2012 as Sadie’s best friend in “This is 40,” followed by a role in “Good Luck Charlie” a year later. Ava also starred in the independent thriller “A Dark Foe” alongside Selma Blair.
In addition to her acting, Ava has demonstrated her versatility as a model. She made her runway debut when her father launched his clothing line, “White Trash is Beautiful.” Ava has shown that her talents extend beyond the entertainment industry, excelling academically as well. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in psychology with a focus on marriage and family therapy. Heather Locklear proudly shared a framed photo of Ava’s graduation, captioned, “Congratulations baby girl! We are so proud.”
The close bond between Heather and Ava is evident in the love they express for one another. Heather once shared how much she admires Ava for her kindness, saying, “Ava is an example to me to always try to find the good in someone. I have watched her from afar and up close throughout her life, and I aspire to be more like her. Her kindness is contagious. We are very close, and I am blessed to call her my daughter. She is completely unaware of all the good she brings to this world — it’s just who she is. I couldn’t be more proud of her.”
Ava, in turn, has always supported her mother. She has often spoken about the profound impact Heather’s love and kindness have had on her life. Ava once wrote, “My mom always taught me to be kind to whomever I met. She treats every person with respect and makes them feel important. While she embodies kindness in many ways, her ability to care for and give to others is what I admire most. She is selfless and inspires me to be selfless as well.”
