Pamela Anderson dating Liam Neeson? All about the dating history of The Naked Gun star (and her past marriages)
Pamela Anderson
, the iconic Baywatch star, and
Liam Neeson
, the actor known for Schindler's List and Taken, are reportedly in love; and we're not talking just on-screen, in real life, the rumored couple is taking everyone's breath away with their sweet PDA on the red carpet.
The duo met while filming the new Naked Gun reboot, and their on-and-off-screen chemistry has captured attention.
From on-screen chemistry to real-life romance
Pamela Anderson (58) and Liam Neeson (73) first met on the set of The Naked Gun reboot, slated for release in August 2025. Sparks flew, and their on-set interactions blossomed into mutual admiration.
In a 2024 interview, Neeson said, 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her,' calling her 'terrific to work with.'
Anderson returned the compliment, calling Neeson 'the perfect gentleman,' expressing gratitude for his kindness and creative depth.
Their warm friendship turned affectionate during promotions. At the London premiere in July 2025, Anderson kissed Neeson on the cheek while posing together, and he casually remarked, 'I feel like a couple right now!'
Then, on The Today Show in New York, they were caught sharing a spontaneous kiss, which prompted the host to ask if they were a couple.
When asked, Neeson responded that their chemistry was 'lovely budding,' and PEOPLE confirmed that they are 'officially dating' and enjoying each other's company. As reported, a source told PEOPLE that the pair is in the early stages of a sincere new romance, tagging along with their children to premieres and sharing dinners and laughs.
However, this isn't Pamela's first brush with a high-profile romance – but certainly an unusual one.
Neeson has stayed single for over a decade after the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, in 2009. He was married to Richardson from 1994 until she died in 2009.
As fans swoon over their public affection, let's dive into Pamela's romantic past, her high-profile marriages, and how this unexpected romance started.
Pamela's past relationships
Pamela Anderson's relationship history is famously colorful and quite eventful.
Tommy Lee (1995–1998):
Pamela Anderson and the Mötley Crüe drummer, Tommy Lee's relationship was a whirlwind romance that led to a high-profile marriage and subsequent divorce.
They tied the knot in 1995 after only knowing each other for four days, and had two sons together before divorcing in 1998. Their relationship was marked by intense media attention, including the theft and leak of a sex tape, and a domestic dispute that resulted in Lee being jailed for spousal abuse.
Despite the difficulties, Anderson had famously said that her relationship with Lee was the "only time I was ever truly in love."
The couple has two sons, Dylan (b. 1997) and Brandon (b. 1996).
Their marriage was plagued by scandals, including the infamous sex tape leak and a violent domestic dispute that led to Lee's arrest and imprisonment. They divorced in 1998, with Anderson citing the spousal abuse incident and seeking custody of their two sons, Brandon and Dylan. While their relationship was tumultuous, they have since reunited to support their sons, particularly at public events like Brandon's fashion launch.
Kid Rock (2006–2007):
Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock had an on-again, off-again relationship that included a brief marriage. They first met in 2001, got engaged in 2002, but split up before marrying. They rekindled their romance in 2006 and married that same year, only to divorce a few months later.
Reports suggest that their relationship was marked by frequent arguments and lifestyle differences. Anderson's involvement in the movie "Borat" is also cited as a factor in their split.
Rick Salomon (2007–2008, remarried in 2014, divorced in 2015):
Pamela Anderson's relationship with Rick Salomon was brief and tumultuous, marked by two marriages and annulments. They first married in October 2007, but Anderson filed for divorce just two months later.
They then had their marriage annulled in March 2008, citing fraud. In January 2014, they remarried, only to divorce again in 2015. Anderson later stated that she felt Salomon made her look "20 years older."
Jon Peters (reportedly married but later revealed non‑legal):
Pamela Anderson's relationship with Jon Peters was brief and unconventional. While they were reported to have married in January 2020, Anderson later clarified that they were never legally married.
The "marriage," which lasted only 12 days, was reportedly described by Anderson as a "bizarre theatrical lunch." Peters, a film producer, had reportedly left $10 million for Anderson in his will, a gesture she acknowledged with affection.
Adil Rami (relationship 2017–2019):
Pamela and Adil began dating in early 2017. They officially split in 2019. Rami reportedly gave Anderson a promise ring after winning the World Cup and later discussed proposing marriage, but Anderson declined.
The couple briefly rekindled their relationship in March 2019. However, Anderson announced their final split in June 2019 via a social media post. Pamela also claimed that he was cheating on her with the mother of his children, Sidonie Biémont, per Page Six.
Dan Hayhurst (2020–2022):
Pamela Anderson and Dan Hayhurst's relationship was a whirlwind romance that began during the pandemic and led to a Christmas Eve wedding in 2020. They met while Hayhurst was working on Anderson's Vancouver Island property.
The relationship blossomed during the pandemic lockdown, with Hayhurst helping Anderson with renovations. Anderson described their relationship as a "natural fit" and a "full circle moment." However, the marriage ended after just over a year, with a divorce filing in January 2022.

Wednesday Season 2: Catherine Zeta-Jones Hails 'Amazing' Co-Star Jenna Ortega
Catherine observed that Jenna made time in her busy schedule so that they could prepare properly. Wednesday Season 2: Catherine Zeta-Jones thinks Jenna Ortega is 'amazing". The 55-year-old actress stars alongside Jenna, 22, in the new season of Wednesday, and Catherine has praised her co-star's professional approach to their sword fight scene. She told People: 'We did rehearse it. It's like choreography and stunts. You know, we have to be careful. These are real weapons we're working with." Catherine observed that Jenna made time in her busy schedule so that they could prepare properly for the scene. The actress, who plays Morticia Addams on the hit Netflix show, said: 'She'd find time in her schedule, which is a much bigger schedule than mine, to come and rehearse with me, and then we worked it with the stunt coordinator, and it turned out really fabulous." Catherine has also praised Luis Guzman, who plays Gomez Addams, for his pre-shoot preparations. The duo teamed up to perform a tango, and Catherine revealed that Luis 'just really worked hard". She shared: 'We used to rehearse the four scenes outside, dodging the rain, sometimes in Ireland, in gravel to keep it every day, to keep it fresh. Because, of course, we learned it at the beginning of the show. We weren't shooting it for weeks, three months later. So to keep it fresh and to remember our moves every now and again, we just jump together and we do it. And we laughed." Meanwhile, Jenna previously revealed that she became an 'unhappy person" after season one of Wednesday. The actress plays Wednesday Addams in the Netflix show, but Jenna initially struggled to cope with the pressures of fame and success. She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: 'To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person. After the pressure, the attention, as somebody who's quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary." Jenna now serves as a producer on Wednesday, and she's loving the experience of having a hands-on role with the show. Jenna – who has become one of the most sought-after stars in Hollywood in recent years – said: 'I sit in on meetings and listen and learn. I'm still finding my footing in that area."

Jason Momoa feels Hollywood has always depicted Hawaii as a ‘postcard', says Chief of War is an attempt to fix this ‘false advertising'
Hawaii keeps calling Jason Momoa back. Shortly after his birth in Honolulu, the actor's parents divorced. He mother, of European ancestry, relocated to Iowa along with him, where Momoa did his schooling. However, he returned to his birthland to study at the University of Hawaii. He auditioned and landed a key role in Baywatch Hawaii in 1999, which birthed his Hollywood career. Now, over 25 years after his big break, Momoa has returned to his ancestral land to tell the story of the unification of Hawaii in 1782-1810. With the nine-episode series Chief of War on Apple TV, Momoa hopes to reconnect with his roots and do justice to the land that's often been exoticized by his industry, ever since the Baywatch days. 'Hollywood has always portrayed Hawaii like a postcard. It's a bit different from what I know. We're obviously talking about the past, which a lot of people don't know. Even speaking of the modern times, when I was growing up, I don't identify with anything about Hawaii that's been put out there. It's a bit of false advertising. Sure, the image is manicured and built a certain way. But there's a depth and beauty here that hasn't been seen in a certain way,' Momoa tells SCREEN in an interview. The Aquaman star is at home, in more ways than one, talking from Hawaii over Zoom. The postcard picture of Hawaii, that he aptly blames Hollywood for glorifying, screams silently in his backdrop. But Momoa doesn't turn around and take a holy dip into the Hawaiian waters like Aquaman would. This isn't that Jason Momoa. This one's seen Hawaii inside out over the years. 'I'm excited to put it into more movies. It took us a while to pull the clout to be able to tell a story of this magnitude. I hope people like it so we can keep telling stories from what we know,' he says. Momoa is not only an actor on Chief of War, but also a co-creator with Thomas Pa'a Sibbett, as well as the director on the finale. It's not his first directorial adventure, but certainly a far cerebral departure from his image of playing the tough guy on screen. He believes he holds within himself as much diversity as his homeland does. 'There are moments — when the sun is down in a way that it's not sunset, to the deepest violets, and the way the ocean turns into smells, and the deepest greens in the jungle. Then there's the place I was raised in, which is very dry. It almost looks ugly to everyone. To me, that's ultimate beauty. There's red clay, dust, and sand,' he says, painting two pictures on a single canvas. Momoa, who's previously helmed the 2014 thriller Road to Paloma, drops a revelation: he prefers direction to acting. 'I dive into directing,' he says in true-blue Aquaman style. 'I love being behind the camera more than being in front of it. This time around, being in front of the camera was even more challenging because there were so many things going on behind the camera. Directing the finale, I felt so much at home because I thrive on chaos. I go insane waiting in the trailer for my scene. I need to be doing a lot of things at once, that's just the way I operate,' he adds. But helming such a massively mounted show came with its own share of vulnerabilities, Momoa admits. 'Oh yeah, I'm human. I go through that all the time. But gratitude is a huge one. If I found myself out of place or out of sorts, there's gratitude that I've to constantly remember and hopefully, that pulls me out of it. When I'm in a weird headspace and I can't get out of it, I think of my children, a beautiful thing. I call up my loved ones, stay grounded, and get back to the course,' he says, adding that he welcomes the 'intense responsibility' of representing his people. 'The responsibility of being able to tell this story is the most important thing I'll do in my career,' he declares. Momoa has pushed his physicality to limits throughout his career, in films like Conan the Barbarian (2011), as an underwater superhero in the Aquaman franchise, as a cannibal in The Bad Batch (2016), as the chief antagonist in Fast X (2023), and as Khal Drogo in HBO's seminal fantasy show Game of Thrones. Chief of War is special, as he had to train in the Hawaiian martial arts form of Kapu Kuʻialua. 'Physicality in any role is no stranger to me. It's fun to learn, adapt, and try all different kinds of martial arts. The Hawaiian martial arts is called Lua. I never had the opportunity to learn it. But we had great masters who trained us actors, and not just the stuntmen. That's one of the best things of taking on a role — generally, you get an expert who's spent their entire life to learn a skill and you get to learn the basics of that very quickly,' says Momoa. Also Read — Chief of War review: Breathtakingly beautiful, Jason Momoa's Apple show is like a political alliance between Avatar and Black Panther Besides the story, setting, and action, another aspect that aided Momoa's homecoming was speaking in his native tongue. 'I've had to learn a couple of other languages before, but those were extremely easier than my own native language. I had a very challenging time. I thought my ancestors would just come down and tell me, 'You've got this.' But it was extremely hard for me,' confesses Momoa, who claims he's still learning the language, along with his children. 'I took it very seriously. My teacher lived with me so I learnt on the side wherever I went. Our linguists were given the liberty to ask us to go again if our language or diction wasn't right, no matter who the actor is. Even though it was a challenge, when they felt proud, you knew that you had that stamp of approval,' says Momoa, before bidding his Aloha.
