Heather Locklear and David Spade split

Heather Locklear and David Spade are taking a break from their six-month relationship, according to media reports.

The couple were first spotted kissing at an after party for Spade's series "Showbiz Show" in March -- one month after Locklear filed for divorce from Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora.

A source tells People magazine, "Heather is still going through a lot with Denise (Richards) and Richie. It's just too soon for her to get serious. They are still friends. It's not ugly."

Another source close to Spade says that the break "was a mutual decision."

The couple has been seen regularly cuddling, holding hands and kissing over the last several months, but have never publicly spoken about their relationship.

Locklear was even seen with a new tattoo on her ankle with the words "Finch" -- the character Spade played on the TV show "Just Shoot Me."

A source close to Locklear adds, "They are friends. They've always been friends. And they continue to be friends. There's nothing more than that."
