Locklear married Ruby Graves in 1915. The marriage was largely unhappy as Graves and Locklear had vastly different personalities. They separated in 1919 after Locklear moved to Los Angeles to pursue a film career. Despite the marriage being an unhappy one, Graves refused to grant Locklear a divorce. They remained legally married until Locklear's death.<ref>Golden 2000 pp.80-81.</ref>

While separated from Graves, Locklear met widowed silent film actress
[[Viola Dana]]. They began a relationship and were engaged at the time of Locklear's death. Dana witnessed the plane crash that killed Locklear. She was so traumatized by the event that she refused to fly for the next 25 years.<ref name="anderson">{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955&dat=19750421&id=MhBXAAAAIBAJ&sjid=TEMNAAAAIBAJ&pg=5365,161695&hl=en|title='Waldo Pepper's' Lover Recalls Fiery Crash|last=Anderson|first=Nancy|date=April 21, 1975|work=Reading Eagle|page=10|access-date=October 12, 2015|location=Reading, Pennsylvania}}</ref> In 1980, Dana recalled her relationship with Locklear and also spoke about his fatal crash in the documentary ''[[Hollywood (1980 TV series)|Hollywood]]''.<ref>Golden 2000 p.80.</ref>
