After a tumultuous marriage to Charlie Sheen and a rocky relationship with Richie Sambora, you'd think Denise Richards would want a quiet life.
But the 39-year-old just can't seem to shake her attraction to bad boys.
The mother of two recently appeared on Watch What Happens Live and confirmed to host Andy Cohen that she has been quietly dating Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx.

Nikki Sixx on Sunday and confirms their new relationship
The couple have been 'neighbours for years', a source tells Us magazine. 'They have a lot in common and are taking things slowly.'
And it looks like Denise is already head over heels for the 52-year-old rocker.
The couple were spotted having breakfast together at Marmalade Cafe
in Calabasas on Sunday (Dec 12).
'Nikki was telling stories, and Denise was laughing," says a witness.
And on Saturday night, Sixx took to his Twitter to make a mysterious comment about who he was with, saying he had 'a midnight rendezvous planned with a beautiful maiden.'
Denise recently said that all she wants for Christmas this year is some peace and quiet.

She says: 'What am I asking for? A peaceful year! I just want everyone healthy and good.As a mom, your priorities change. As long as everyone's healthy, that's all I care about.'
Peace and quiet is not likely to happen with Sixx, a former heroin addict who has been married to two Playboy models and dated Kat Von D from 2008 to 2010.
Meanwhile Denise has daughters Sam, six, and Lola, five with ex-husband Charlie Sheen.
Nevertheless, the actress is willing to give the relationship a chance.
She told Andy Cohen: 'You want if anything's gonna develop, you want it to develop on its own. That's the God's honest truth, we're taking it very slowly.'
