Some couples just can't stay apart for long -- just ask the reportedly reunited Denise Richards and Richie Sambora!

Charlie Sheen's former wife and Heather Locklear's ex-husband seem to be back together, E! News reports. The couple dated back in 2006 for about a year, and now they're ready for round two, a source confirms.

According to RadarOnline, the 40-year-old mother of three and the 52-year-old Bon Jovi rocker were spotted at dinner together Sunday night at a fancy Japanese restaurant in Woodland Hills, Calif.

"They're very happy and are dating," a source told E! News. "They never stopped caring for each other."

The two go way back (Richards was famously best pals with Locklear before she started dating Sambora), and as Richards dishes about him in her memoir, The Real Girl Next Door: "Richie and I shared an easiness I hadn't before had. We were able to be open, honest, and completely authentic with each other, with no judgment."
 
The actress also admits in her book that she and Sambora met up several times after splitting up but made sure not to be seen in public together.
 
"I don't regret my relationship with him," Richards wrote. "I learned hard lessons from our journey together. My heart may have been bruised, but it was pure. Richie is a wonderful man. He came into my life when I needed him and he needed me. We'll always have that bond."
