Heather Locklear held on tight to boyfriend Chris Heisser as they walked into an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting on Sunday morning in Thousand Oaks, California.
It was the first time Locklear was pictured since completing a two-month stay at a rehab center after being arrested for attacking police officers responding to a domestic violence call in February.
‘They were giggling and acting flirty,’ a witness told DailyMail.com. ‘You’d never know that just a few months ago they were in a knock down drag out fight where the cops had to be called.’
The hour-long meeting seemed to give the couple peace of mind and they hugged another attendee outside a church before leaving, according to the insider, who said they appeared ‘calmer than when they went in’.

The couple then went to an early dinner at her parents Bill and Diane Locklear’s home in the nearby Westlake Village.
A source tells the DailyMail.com: ‘It seems like her world has shrunk quite a bit since her arrest, she sticks pretty close to home. She let her boyfriend drive her around, she’s definitely trying to be good as she gears up for her next court hearing.’
Locklear was arrested on Feburary 25 for felony domestic violence against her boyfriend Chris Heisser, 56, at her Westlake Village area home.
The charge that was later reduced to a misdemeanor, and then dropped entirely.
A search warrant prepared by Senior Deputy Sheriff Keith Hall recounted what happened that night.
In the documents, Lockear said the fight began when Chris ‘lied to her, and she threw a can of Red Bull at him’.
Documents add: ‘She then told an officer that [Chris Heisser] had strangled her and that she was afraid he would kill her. Locklear stated she did not lose consciousness but was strangled for a long time and thought she might pass out.’

But Heisser countered to the officers, ‘I did not touch her’.
The deputies took his side when they saw he was bleeding from the bridge of his nose and had redness on his chest’.
An insider said at the time that Locklear ‘practically bit the tip off Heisser’s nose’ before instructing one of her employees to call the police.

She was also charged with four counts of misdemeanor battery against a cop after she allegedly kicked and hit them when they tried to arrest her.
When officers tried to arrest her, she went to her bedroom and attempted to shut the door.
‘Get the f**k off my property,’ officers claim she said. ‘You f***ers deserve your kids to die!’
A source said the actress snapped and ‘attacked three of’ the four officers – all in front of her ‘mortified’ adult daughter Ava, age 20.
‘She punched the lady cop and called her a “c**t”, kicked one of the male cops in the balls and punched the third male cop and called them all “f****** assholes” ranting at them,’ the source said.
Police had to subdue her with handcuffs, both on her wrists and a ‘hobble’ on her ankles to prevent her from further kicking of officers.
Because she had claimed to have been beaten by Heisser, Locklear was first taken to the hospital for evaluation.
She was booked into the Ventura County Jail around 1am on a felony count of domestic violence and three counts of misdemeanor battery on a peace officer.
The same evening as the fight, Heisser was arrested for a DUI when cops saw his Mercedes driving erratically on Highway 101.
Sources told TMZ that he was spotted driving slowly on Highway 101, blew a 0.19 and a 0.20 blood alcohol level after being pulled over. The legal limit in California is 0.08.
Following her arrest, Locklear completed a two-month stint at a rehab center, which ended on April 29. During that time, it Heisser is said to have taken care of her dog ‘Mister’
The couple appeared to be in good spirits as they walked into the meeting on Sunday, as they laughed and held hands while chatting
Locklear and Heisser were previously seen having lunch and drinking non-alcoholic drinks on May 6, and witnesses said the couple ‘seemed really happy’, though no photos were taken

While this is the first time Locklear has been photographed post-rehab, she spent Mother’s day with her semi-estranged daughter Ava on May 13.
Ava tried to distance herself from her mom after the arrest, and the Loyola Marymount University student, , who is Locklear’s daughter with Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, jetted away to Hawaii to be with her father.
A source reported that the This Is 40 actress was ‘concerned and sad’ about her mom.
But it appears they made amends as they had a mother-daughter spa day at Locklear’s house for Mother’s Day, and they also watched 20-year-old actress Ava’s new film, Mommy Be Mine.

Her sentencing hearing is on June 6, at the Ventura County Superior Courthouse. Neither side had any comment after the arraignment.
