Three days before heading into rehab, Richie Sambora phoned his ex-wife begging for forgiveness. According to Star Magazine, Richie apologized and spoke of the regret he felt for splitting up their happy family. Heather Locklear is the one who pushed him to get help for his addictions. I doubt these two have a future. But you never know. I couldn't believe it when they announced they were splitting!

"Heather was shocked by the call," a friend of the actress tells Star. "She'd never heard Rickie so out of sorts!" Or apparently, so remorseful, "He apologized to Heather for "the mess' he had made of their 12-year marriage. He said he's had a lot of time to think recently and he regretted hurting her and splitting up their family when their daughter, Ava, needed both her parents." Heather's response to her ex's disturbing state? "She knew Richie [had been] having problems," says her friend. "She told him, "You need to confront your issues.' She urged him to seek professional treatment - “ not just for his own sake but for Ava's!"
