Liam Neeson's sister-in-law approves of romance following late wife's tragic death
Liam Neeson 's former sister-in-law Joely Richardson has given her nod of approval for his new reported relationship with Hollywood star Pamela Anderson, 16 years after his late wife passed away in a tragic accident.
Liam's late wife, Natasha, tragically passed away after sustaining a serious injury to her brain following a skiing accident when she was just 45 years old. The couple were married for 15 years and shared two children, Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28.
Since Natasha's sudden death, Liam has mostly remained single, except for a 2-year relationship with PR executive Freya St. Johnston. That was up until recent times when he sweetly announced that he is in a relationship with Baywatch star Pamela Anderson.
Liam, 73, and Pamela, 58, are starring in a new comedy together, Naked Gun, where it is rumoured their romance started. The former Baywatch star shared an Instagram post which included the Taken actor, along with the caption: 'The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it's good for you! I'll see you there.'
Joely, the younger sister of Liam's late wife, commented a string of red hearts, which more than 750 Instagram users have liked.
The sweet sign of approval by Joely comes after Pamela shared she how she impressed Liam with her homemade cooking, more specifically, sourdough bread and muffins.
While she is highly known for her iconic red swimsuit on Baywatch, Pamela is also a renowned cook and has even brought out her own cookbook. I Love You: Recipes From The Heart was nominated for a 2025 James Beard Award.
At a SiriusXM Town Hall event in New York City on Wednesday, Pamela shared: "[I was] nervous to meet [Liam], of course and you're always nervous the first day on the set..."
"I brought sourdough bread to Liam and cookies and muffins and kept me busy. Kept me outta trouble ... It's a very special [muffin] recipe. It's very good for you. Let's just say that."
According to the Daily Mail, the pair have been spending quality time at Pamela's Canadian home, bonding over shared interests like gardening and baking.
A source revealed to DailyMail: 'Pam is very drawn to Liam because he is totally open to her way of thinking and living, and especially her approach to fame, which is impressive.
"She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers, and spending time with her sons and dogs."

Line Of Duty's Adrian Dunbar reveals cast 'waiting on BBC confirmation' for series 7
Line of Duty star Adrian Dunbar has admitted he and his fellow cast mates are waiting for the BBC to give them the go ahead to start on the eagerly awaited seventh series A Line Of Duty icon has confessed that the cast are waiting for the go-ahead for the new series of the new series. It appears the stars of the hit series are eagerly waiting, like fans, for the next instalment after it was confirmed the BBC show would return for a seventh series. The 66-year-old star who plays the part of Superintendent Ted Hastings in the drama admitted that he and fellow cast members Martin Compston and Vicky McClure are a tight-knit group. And he said that while the trio are all keen to get back on set, they are simply waiting for the BBC to give them the nod. It comes after it was confirmed that creator Jed Mercurio had been working on a new script four years on from the dramatic series six finale. Sheridan Smith unrecognisable in first look at harrowing true-crime drama "There were signs that we were going to be doing something next year," Adrian recently told the Radio Times. "We're all waiting for the BBC to say, 'Yeah, it's happening.' "An official confirmation is what we're waiting on, but all the signs are very good. Jed hasn't given us any updates – he's beavering away, I suspect.' He added that Jed likes to keep the cast on their toes and admitted that Vicky usually gets the scripts first. He claimed that due to her speedy reading, she'd often tease the others by sending cryptic messages about the plot. Adrian has starred alongside Vicky and Martin amongst a host of others on what has became the broadcaster's highest-rated drama series in almost 20 years when it initially aired. At the end of series six, the master villain of the series was unmasked as Detective Superintendent Ian Buckells, played by Nigel Boyle. However, at the time some fans were disappointed by the reveal. Now, with more crime-fuelled drama on the horizon, it's expected to erupt once again. Christina Chong, who plays DI Nicola Rogerson, previously revealed she was contacted about reprising her role. She told the Daily Mail: 'So I have been asked about a season, is it seven? Yeah. Potentially, Nicola Rogerson will be back for season 7.' And while Vicky may not be filming the new series just yet, she is certainly keeping herself busy. She recently released her first ever music song as she sang alongside Jon McClure and Reverend and the Makers. Taking to Twitter /X last month, the band excitedly wrote: "ANNOUNCEMENT KLAXON. Absolutely buzzing to announce we have a new single about to drop featuring, on lead vocals for the first time ever, the living legend @Vicky_McClure ' (plus a bit on @jonathanowen71 on bass) "The video also features another living legend so stay tuned for that. Let's have some love for Vicky the singer eh?" Vicky then reshared the post to her own page and commented: "First for everything! No one cooler to do it with! @Reverend_Makers," followed by three red love heart emojis.

The Goonies star who went woke making unhinged rants online is seen on rare outing... can you guess who?
She is a veteran actress best known for her work in classic film The Goonies which was released in 1985. The actress who has had a career spanning nearly 45 years is a nepo baby as both her parents were thespians. More recently the star has created more buzz offscreen as she routinely posts unhinged rants on social media. She has been branded woke by the likes of Daily Mail's Maureen Callahan and several users on X (formally Twitter) for her takes on the Trump administration and issues like abortion. Now she has been seen on a rare outing in Los Angeles. Can you guess who the actress is? It's Martha Plimpton! The 54-year-old New York native was seen on a recent errand run in Southern California. She donned a sleeveless blue midi dress along with black flip flop sandals. Her signature blonde hair was cut into a pixy cut as it was elegantly dishevelled. Martha showcased her evergreen looks by going make-up free on the outing. The longtime actress has been blasted by several social media users for her rants online including one earlier this year where she celebrated Beyonce's Best Country Music Album win at the Grammy Awards in February by accusing the Trump administration of a coup. She posted a self-taken video with a lengthy caption which began: 'Don't get me wrong. I am PSYCHED about Beyonce winning #BestCountryAlbum tonight. F***ing Great! BUT. What. The. F***. We are in the midst of a #coup. 'Call your Senators and tell them to #SHUTDOWNTHESENATE and take a page from Mitch McConnell's playbook: OPPOSE ALL NOMINEES, REJECT UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUESTS, VOTE NO ON ALL CLOTURE AND PROCEDURAL VOTES, AND REQUEST QUORUM CALLS AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.. USE EVERY PROCEDURAL MANEUVER TO GRIND EVERYTHING TO A STOP. This is no joke.' An X user reposted her Instagram and wrote: 'Staunch liberal accounts like Martha Plimpton are suddenly sounding like the left 10 years ago: "Why is the media complicit in this?" "Where the F are the Democrats as all of this is going down??" You mocked us for catching on long before you, Marf. Shrug. 'And of course - she somehow feels obligated to mention that Beyonce won a Grammy in the midst of all this because: liberal. Can't stop. Won't stop.' Martha has also been a passionate abortion advocate over the years as she famously has 'I [heart] Abortion.' on her Instagram bio. On July 4, 2024 she even posted a meme which read: 'little known fact" The "A" in America stands for "Abortion."' Even her followers took issue with the post in the comments section as one wrote: '"I love abortion" pretty insensitive comment. since to many it is a the most important and sometimes traumatic decision a woman may make in her life.' Another said: 'I'm pro life.. Love that a child that was conceived gets a chance to live, but I would never force any woman to have a child if she chose not to, but I would try to convince her to have the child and if she didn't want to raise the child to give it up fir adoption to a family that would raise it.. I mean hey yourmotger had you, have you a chance to live.. I bet your happy about that!!' Back in 2018, Martha caused an uproar over the comments she made at a #ShoutYourAbortion event which circulated online at the time. Addressing a crowd of supporters, Plimpton, who has spoken publicly of the two abortions she had as a young woman in the past, said at town hall session: 'Seattle has some particular significance for me for lots of reasons. An X user reposted her Instagram and wrote: 'Staunch liberal accounts like Martha Plimpton are suddenly sounding like the left 10 years ago: "Why is the media complicit in this?" "Where the F are the Democrats as all of this is going down??" You mocked us for catching on long before you, Marf. Shrug 'I've got a lot of family here, some of whom are here in the audience tonight. 'I also had my first abortion here at the Seattle Planned Parenthood! Yay!' As the audience cheered, she went on: 'Notice I said 'first'...and I don't want Seattle — I don't want you guys to feel insecure, it was my best one. 'Heads and tails above the rest. If I could Yelp review it, I totally would. 'And if that doctor's here tonight, I don't remember you at all, I was 19. I was 19, but I thank you nonetheless,' she said, as the crowd cheered. 'You probably won't remember because I wasn't that famous then,' she concluded, jokingly. As Plimpton revealed her abortion at the event in June 2018, the pro-choice audience which had gathered to hear her embraced her honesty and cheered her on. But the starlet, who has also appeared in The Good Wife, received a frostier reaction online. Pro-life internet users were outraged by her comments in Seattle and slammed them as 'tacky' and 'abysmal' online. 'How can you be proud of this?' asked one critic. Others said the actress's remarks were 'disgusting' and 'disturbing'. Another said: 'It's one thing to be pro-choice but a sad thing to brag about your abortion shame on u.' Plimpton dated actor River Phoenix for years in the late 80s and early 90s. They are seen at the 1989 Oscars when she was 18. River died in 1993 of a drug overdose One likened her comments to a 'total disregard for human life'. Plimpton has spoken in the past about having two abortions when she was a young actress. 'For me in particular, because I did have two abortions as a young woman, I feel that my ability to access that kind of medical care made it possible for me to live out my dreams and do what I really want to do in life,' she told ABC in 2015. In 1989, the year she turned 19, she was in a relationship with actor River Phoenix. The pair appeared together in films including Running On Empty and they stayed together for several years before Phoenix's death in 1993 from a cocaine and heroin overdose. The younger brother of actor Joaquin, River had been watching Johnny Depp's band at The Viper Room when he died outside. Plimpton did not mention him or make reference to who her unborn baby's father was when she addressed her abortion in June. #ShoutYourAbortion, the organization which hosted the event where she made the comments, encourages women who have undergone abortions to talk about them in order to remove the stigma many attach to the procedure. The campaign manufactures t-shirts emblazoned with the words 'abortion is freedom' and 'everyone knows I had an abortion'. Plimpton previously promoted another of its garments - a shift dress with the word printed across it in bold, black lettering. The star was 15 when she appeared in the 1985 classic The Goonies. She has since gone on to appear in an array of films and movies including Raising Hope and Parenthood. Plimpton grew up engulfed in showbiz. Her grandfather was John Carradine and both her parents (Keith Carradine and Shelley Plimpton) are actors. She began dating Phoenix in the late 80s after starring with him in the film Running On Empty. She is also on the board of directors of A is For, a charity which seeks to advance 'women's reproductive rights and end the stigma on abortion care'. Since launching in 2015 with one woman's Facebook post, #ShoutYourAbortion has gathered thousands of supporters around the world.
