Denise Richards, Richie and girls

Denise Richards and boyfriend Richie Sambora had dinner in Westlake Village, CA, with her daughters Lola, 16 months, and Sam, 2 1/2 on October 8th.  Sam is wearing See Kai Run shoes in Gretchen ($32 at IzzyandAsh.com).  Lola may be wearing Polo Ralph Lauren Kids Dartmouth Strap loafers in posey suede ($70.95 at Zappos.com) or Trumpette Patent Moccasins in pink ($22 at MissFitz.com).

They look so happy together. Richie hasnt smiled that much in a long time. And the kids look happy. That’s all that matters in the end.

they are cute! i wish I saw him with Ava more! I haven’t seen them together since he and Heather split. Wonder if Heather is limiting their time for some reason?? I can’t imagine Richie not wanting to see her, he seemed like such a proud daddy!

tink1217, I have seen SEVERAL pictures of Ava with Richie! He’s been at her baseball games (he even brought Denise and Sam along for one of them), they’ve been shopping together, spent an afternoon at FAO Schwarz and the Apple store in NY when she spent time with him on tour during the summer…she’s been photographed on the stage wearing a Bon Jovi t-shirt

Just to clarify, Richie doesnt get followed like either Denise or Heather but is more ”on the radar” than he used to be so OCCASIONALLY he gets spotted by the paparazzi. There are lots of pictures out there though. That’s only what we KNOW of, Ava spent a month on the road with him, and he sees her all the time especially now he is recording in LA at the moment.

Try newscom.com for the pictures of Denise and Sam at Ava’s basketball game…

US Weekly and Splashnews had pictures of them shopping in NY (Ava looked really cute, she had a little pick teddy in her hand and was wearing some gorgeous Paul Frank clothes and a blue baker boy hat)

…there are so many places!

These three girls deserve happiness and stability. If Richie is the guy to do that (and they certainly all look happy here, look at Sam’s little t-shirt with guitars on it!! LOL! It’s the same t-shirt she is wearing out with Charlie in the other pictures…she obviously is enamoured by what Richie does for a living LOL!!) then SO BE IT.

When you take into account that we don’t see Heather doing much else other than falling out of clubs, it’s easy to see why both Denise and Richie would have felt frustrated with her. i don’t believe that this situation caused the breakdown of any marriage, and as I said if Richie is able to make all of his girls happy and give them a stable, loving environment for them to grow up in, then more power to him.

There is something so settled about these two, they cleraly have the same priorities. They make a beautiful little family, hopefully it will work out for them. The children all deserve it.
