Lorenzo Lamas' daughter Shayne Lamas is sending Heather Locklear love on Mother's Day amid the pair's new relationship.

In an Instagram post on Sunday, May 10, Shayne, 40, shared a photo from her dad and Locklear's 1983 Playgirl shoot together — when they were just 21 and 25, respectively — and wrote a heartfelt message in honor of the holiday.

"Beautiful Heather I adore you," the former Bachelor winner wrote. "The generous, loving, gracious energy you have makes you a very rare woman. Watching your relationship with my Dad genuinely makes me believe one's true love will be one's lasting love."

"I hope you know how appreciated and loved you are by myself and my children. Sending you 🤍. Your daughter is so very lucky to have this day to share with you," Shayne added, signing off the message from herself, son Lyon, 10, and daughter Press, 14, both of whom she shares with ex Nik Richie. "Mine's in heaven and I know she loves this for you both as well."

Locklear, 64, responded to the message in a comment, wishing Shayne a happy Mother's Day in return.

"Beautiful soul, thank you and happy Mothers Day!" she wrote. "Your children are so wonderful which shows what a tremendous mom you are. Your dad is the same💘."

A friend of the Melrose Place star confirmed her romance with Lorenzo to PEOPLE on April 10. According to TMZ, which first reported the news and published photos of the couple together in Las Vegas, the pair have been dating for months. 

In an interview with Fox News Digital, published on April 29, the Renegade alum, 68, opened up about finding love with the actress more than 40 years after they first met while posing together for the cover of Playgirl magazine.

"The short answer is no," Lorenzo told the outlet when asked if he thought this would happen. "I mean, I’ve been through a lot of trial and error, and she is the most amazing woman that I think I’ve ever met."

His comments came days after he and Locklear made their first public appearance as a couple at the 2026 Chiller Theatre Expo in New Jersey on April 26. They were pictured smiling and cozying up at the horror and sci-fi convention, both wearing all-black looks.

Lorenzo has six children — he shares Shayne and son A.J., 42, with the late Michele Smith, whom he was married to from 1983 to 1985; his daughter Paton, 37, is from his relationship with Daphne Ashbrook, whom he dated from 1986 to 1988; and he welcomed daughters Alexandra, 28, Victoria, 27, and Isabella, 25, with ex-wife Shauna Sand, whom he was married to from 1996 to 2002.
