I did not steal anyone's husband: Denise Richards

Actress Denise Richards says that she is not the reason of American rock guitarist Richie Sambora's divorce with wife Heather Locklear, insisting he had already filed for divorce before she fell in love with the rocker.

Richards found love with the Bon Jovi star in 2006, soon after she ended her marriage to actor Charlie Sheen.

"We (her and Sambora) were friends and we were both going through divorces, and that's what drew us to each other... I did not steal someone's husband. Did I date a former friend's ex-husband? Yes. Did I break up a marriage? No," dailystar.co.uk quoted Richards as saying.

"If I was still friends with (Locklear), that never would have happened with Richie. There was no friendship anymore prior to Richie and I getting together," she added.

Denise Richards adopts a baby girl

Former Bond girl Denise Richards has become a mum for the third time as she has adopted another daughter.

She named the baby Eloise Joni, after her late mom Joni. The 40-year-old is already mother to Sami, 7, and Lola, 5, from her marriage to Charlie Sheen, little Eloise Joni. 

"Eloise Joni Richards is named after Denise's mom, and Denise and her daughters Sami and Lola chose the name Eloise.

Denise and Eloise's big sisters couldn't be happier and feel incredibly blessed," the star's rep said.
Richards' mum Joni passed away in 2007 after a battle with cancer.
