Denise Richards believed lover Richie Sambora was going to propose in Hawaii, and was devastated when he dumped her instead.

The couple - who began dating in April 2006 - had both just had their divorces finalised when they went on the romantic break in February, and Denise was hoping the Bon Jovi rocker would pop the question.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "Denise had been expecting Richie to propose. When he broke up with her instead she was devastated."

News of their split did not surface until three months later in May.

In an interview with Glamour magazine, conducted before the split was made official, Denise said: "Recently we went to Hawaii and people came up to us and said, 'We're so happy for the two of you'.

"People are starting to accept the relationship, realising it's not just a fling."

Denise' spokeswoman denies she was expecting a proposal during the vacation and a Bon Jovi representative refused to comment.

When they first began dating, the Bon Jovi guitarist was in the process of divorcing Heather Locklear and Denise was divorcing Charlie Sheen.

Despite splitting in February, Denise supported Richie at his father's funeral in April.

happy that 'TUBBO' came to his senses and drop kick Denise to the curb. They both crossed the line, with friends like her who need enemies.

Ditto to the above. Never would have worked out anyway, rebounds always crash and burn.
