Pamela Anderson (2025 - present)
Rumors started swirling that Liam Neeson, 73, and Pamela Anderson, 58, were romantically involved in late July 2025.
After they finished making a reboot of The Naked Gun, Liam said of co-star Pam: 'I'm madly in love with her.'
He also quipped that his favourite part of shooting the cop movie spoof, which opened on August 1, 2025, was 'the sex scenes'.
The couple were given an intimacy co-ordinator for those shots, with Liam adding: 'I'd never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, 'OK! Excuse me!'"
While Pamela said of her co-star: 'I think I have a friend for ever in Liam and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy.'
She added: 'He really is a silly guy. He acts like a silly little boy sometimes.'

About a year after the death of his wife Natasha Richardson, Liam Neeson began dating public relations executive Freya St Johnston.
Their relationship lasted roughly two years, from 2010 to 2012.
They reportedly parted ways reportedly because Liam wanted to focus more on his family.
In 2012, a source told the Mail: "Liam is heading back to America at the start of next month to work on his new film Non-Stop.
"He told Freya that he wants to take a break and concentrate on his family."

Liam Neeson was married to actress and model Natasha Richardson.
They met while starring together in the Broadway production of Anna Christie in 1993.
Following Natasha's divorce from her previous husband, the filmmaker Robert Fox, she and Liam wed in 1994.
They had two sons together — Micheal, born in 1995, and Daniel, who followed a year later in 1996
Their marriage lasted until Natasha's tragic death in 2009, following a skiing accident in Quebec.
Liam frequently visits her gravesite and maintains a heartfelt emotional connection.
In 2020, Liam told Entertainment Inquirer: 'I speak to her every day at her grave which is about a mile and half down the road.
'I go down there quite often, so I do speak to her as if she's here. Not that she answers me."

Liam Neeson dated Brooke Shields in early 1992, a relationship the American actress detailed in her 2014 memoir There Was a Little Girl.
She recalled: "He wooed me with his brogue, his poetry, and his shitty choice of cheap pinot grigio wine."
The relationship grew serious quickly and, according to Brooke, Liam proposed to her twice before they parted ways at the end of 1992.
Their romance ended after Neeson flew to Los Angeles for the holidays and did not maintain contact, though he later called and proposed again, which Brooke declined, presciently predicting he would fall for his next leading lady.
In her memoir, Brooke wrote that they got serious after a few months and Liam proposed "without a ring".
In November 2014, she told People: "He came back after the first time he left me and asked me to marry him again.
'This was before he started to do a play [Anna Christie].
"And I said, 'No, no, no, because knowing you, you'll probably fall in love with your next leading lady and marry her, so I'm leaving myself out of this.' And I was dead right.''
The leading lady in the play was Natasha Richardson.
Rumoured relationships (1988–1992)
There have been rumours of Liam Neeson dating several other singing and acting A-listers.
He reportedly dated Barbra Streisand from September 1991 to 1992, although they kept things private.
Liam was also romantically linked with Julia Roberts, Janice Dickinson and Sinéad O'Connor, though these reports were never confirmed publicly.

Liam Neeson's notable early romance was with actress Helen Mirren.
They met while filming the 1981 movie Excalibur and began dating shortly thereafter.
Their relationship was serious — they lived together in London for about four years until they parted company sometime around 1985.
Despite ending their romantic relationship, they have maintained a respectful and amicable connection over the years.
In February 2023, Liam told Entertainment Tonight Canada: 'Helen is a remarkable woman, a remarkable actress.
'I should be so lucky and be honoured to have spent three or four years with that lady. She's really something else.'
