“I am confident he will come back better and stronger than ever,� she told TMZ, noting that she was glad he was getting help.

David Cassidy, a Florida resident, was most recently arrested near LAX on suspicion of DUI and is currently in rehab. He allegedly blew a 0.19 on a blood-alcohol test at the time of his arrest, TMZ said.

“I will remain in treatment for as long as necessary, and I am getting the best care I can possibly get anywhere,� the former teen heartthrob told “Entertainment Tonight� recently, speaking from rehab. “I am working as hard as any human being to live a sober life. “

The two have one son together, Beau, 23. David, 63, is also the father of “Arrow� actress Katie Cassidy from a previous relationship.
