Ava and Tyler have been dating for years and often feature each other on social media.
She first showed him off in 2019.
The Hollywood veteran shares Ava with her second husband, Bon Jovi lead guitarist Richie Sambora, whom she was married to from 1994 to 2007.
Ava has been a busy girl with her studies.
In May 2023 she earned her master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from the University Of Southern California.
Ava beamed with pride as she wore her cap and sash that said Class of 2023 while posing on the picturesque campus.
Her mom, who attended the graduation, wrote on Instagram, ‘Such a proud mama. Congratulations my baby, with your masters in MFT. With your hard work and perseverance and kind hear.’
The Los Angeles native explained in her caption that accompanied photos of her at USC.
‘Today I will graduate from USC with a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy!’ began Sambora’s note that was shared.

Locklear was memorably on TV’s Melrose Place from 1993 until 1999.
She also popped back on the new version of the show from 2009 until 2010.
Heather was also known for her marriages – she was wed to Pamela Anderson’s ex, Tommy Lee, as well as Sambora.
This comes after she had a rough patch as she went in and out of rebab in 2018 and 2019; the star appears to be much better these days and more stable.

It was reported in 2021 that Heather ‘couldn’t be happier’ with her fiancé Chris Heisser, with sources saying the couple are ‘in a really good place’ as they take their relationship to the next level.
An insider said: ‘Heather and Chris are in a really good place right now. They couldn’t be happier. They each go out of their way to make the other feel special – she’ll cook for him, he’ll buy her flowers, etc.’
The star and her fiancé are high school sweethearts, and their romance dates back to the 70s, although they fell out of touch and only reunited in 2017.
For Heather, the upcoming wedding will be her third.
In 2021 she said that she was ‘fearful’ of her return to television.
The actress appeared as Kristine Carlson in the made-for-TV film Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff: The Kristine Carlson Story – which is based on the book series by Kristine and her husband Dr. Richard Carlson – and she was apprehensive about her first small screen role in four years.

‘The challenging part of it was so fearful for me,’ she said while speaking to reporters during Lifetime’s Fall Movies press event.
One emotional scene which sees Kristine learning her husband – played by Jason MacDonald – has died was shot on the second day of filming.
Heather turned to Kristine herself to help research the powerful moment, and added: ‘She said, “It’s almost like a child dying.” And that stopped me in my tracks.’
Although the star wasn’t sure if she’d be able to hit the right emotional level the scene called for, she settled and ‘felt very safe’.
And while Heather had other concerns about remembering her lines after a few years away, she found it ‘so easy’ to get back into old habits.
She told People: ‘I don’t know why I was so fearful of memorizing lines, how about getting emotion across.’
