Richie Sambora has 'no regrets' about quitting Bon Jovi in 2013
'I love being a dad more than anything,' Sambora gushed. 'I'm very, very proud of her and the way she turned out. She's an amazing young woman with a bright future. She's just dedicated to being a good person. And she is.' 'Family had to come first': At the time, the 61-year-old guitarist's daughter Ava Elizabeth (L) was 16 and she 'needed me to be around at that point in time' (pictured in 2018) 'I love being a dad more than anything!' Now 23, Ava (R) is preparing for graduate school after receiving her BA degree in psychology from Loyola Marymount University in May
