In the early 2000s, Lamas pivoted from acting and became a certified helicopter pilot. Since 2001, he has worked as a helicopter tour pilot in California, merging his skills as a certified flight instructor with his lifelong enthusiasm for flight. His Twitter bio describes his profession as “Actor/Director/Certified Flight Instructor-helicopter / NJROTC grad.”
Lamas has been married multiple times. He is currently married to Shawna Craig, whom he wed on April 30, 2011. Notably, Lamas is 29 years older than Craig, who is also known for her work as a model and as a cast member on The Bachelor franchise. Interestingly, Craig acted as the surrogate mother for Lyon Lamas-Richie—the son of Lamas' daughter, Shayne Lamas, and her husband, Nik Richie.
Lamas' previous relationships include marriages to Victoria Hilbert (1981–1982), Michele Smith (1983–1985), Kathleen Kinmont (1989–1993), and Shauna Sand (1996–2002). He was also briefly engaged to Barbara Moore in 1992 and dated actress Daphne Ashbrook between 1987 and 1988.
Lamas has five children. With Michele Smith, he has two children: son Alvaro Joshua (born 1983) and daughter Shayne (born 1985). He shares three daughters with former Playboy model and actress Shauna Sand. Shayne Lamas is known for her television appearances, including a stint on The Bachelor.
His son, Alvaro Joshua Lamas, has also pursued acting with roles in shows like As the World Turns, Gigantic, and Modern Family. He was named Mr. Golden Globe in 2003 and has received various entertainment industry accolades. However, Alvaro has faced legal challenges over the years, including multiple charges related to substance abuse and battery.
Lamas has experienced significant financial difficulties. He filed for bankruptcy twice—once in 2004 and again in 2014. His 2014 bankruptcy filing showed debts exceeding $322,000 and assets totaling approximately $9,100, including $1,200 in clothing, $430 in a checking account, and $2,300 in books. One major debt cited in the 2004 filing included a $200,000 private jet loan.
Among other interesting facts, Lamas' stepmother was the iconic swimming film star Esther Williams, who married his mother when he was 11. He was also close friends with actress Jane Wyman, his co-star on Falcon Crest.
Lamas maintains an online presence through Twitter, where he has over 8,000 followers. His engagement on the platform showcases both his current aviation work and reflections on his acting career. He joined Twitter in May 2012 under the handle @lorenzolamas.
