Actress Denise Richards and aging rocker Richie Sambora have broken up according to their representatives.  When you screw over your best friend to take her man you better hope and pray it works out. If not you are left out in the cold all alone once it is over.

“Denise ended things but wanted to be there for him as a friend,” a source close to Richards tells PEOPLE.

A Sambora source calls the split “amicable.”

“They did break up about a month prior to Richie’s dad’s death,” says the source. “She came to the funeral to support him. He needs to focus on his daughter Ava and wishes Denise and her kids all the best.”

Don’t fret Denise will land safely on her back once again.  And in LaLa land never rule out her repairing her relationship with Heather Locklear.
