Sheridan was born Colette Sheridan in Worthing, West Sussex, England, the daughter of British actress Sally Sheridan (née Adams). She is of Indian Punjabi descent through her Great-Grandmother. Contrary to rumour, Sheridan is not related to actress Dinah Sheridan. Sheridan's biological father has never been identified, but Sheridan has said that she considers her mother's late ex-boyfriend, actor Telly Savalas, to be her father (and not stepfather). Sheridan's half-brother, Nick Savalas, is his son. Sheridan attended school at Millfield in Somerset and emigrated to the United States in 1973.From 1979 to 1985, Sheridan dated the then teen-idol Leif Garrett. They began dating when she was 15 and lived with him in his mother's home while still a minor. As an adult, Sheridan was involved in an unsuccessful attempt to end Garrett's drug abuse.
Sheridan was married to actor Harry Hamlin from September 7, 1991 through 1993. Because the marriage lasted exactly two years (the amount of time required for an American citizen's spouse to receive permanent residency), it was rumored to be a "green card marriage". However, this is unlikely the case as both Savalas, her half brother, and TV network CBS could have sponsored her for any needed visas without her needing to resort to a false marriage.
From January to October 2005, Sheridan was engaged to Swedish personal trainer, Nicklas Söderblom. After their break-up, Sheridan returned to ex-boyfriend Michael Bolton, to whom she became engaged in March 2006. Sheridan was reportedly pregnant with his child but both of them have denied these rumours.
