The Playboy Comedian: David Spade’s Unique Life

Not Afraid to Show Off His Love

After Spade publicly dated Locklear, he went on to date Aussie actress Nicky Whelan in 2007. Unlike his previous relationships, Spade wasn’t afraid to hide this romance. He was known for keeping his relationships a secret, but he was public about Whelan.
