Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora has revealed that he is currently searching for a new relationship, as well as admitting to a desire to extend his family.

"I'm on a search for my future ex-wife," Sambora told People, during the afterparty for his fashion line White Trash Beautiful.

The guitarist quickly clarified his comments, insisting that he was actually looking to settle down and have more children.

"I'm just looking for the right person to have more children [with]," Sambora explained. "There's nothing like a love for your children. I love being a papa, and that's the truth."

Sambora, who has a 13-year-old daughter named Ava, was married to Heather Locklear for 11 years before the couple divorced in 2007.

Bon Jovi are currently on the North American leg of their extensive 'Circle Tour', which was recently declared the highest-grossing concert tour of 2010.
