Pamela Anderson's Dating History—from Tommy Lee to Liam Neeson
As you're likely well aware, Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are newly dating and it's completely adorable. Especially since Pamela has been through a lot when it comes to relationships. For those of you who haven't a) read her memoir, b) watched her Netflix doc, or c) binge-watched Pam & Tommy, here's a look at Pamela's complete (verified—no rumors here) dating history.
Scott Baio: 1990 to 1993
Pamela and Scott dated for about three years in the early 90s, and even almost got engaged. Mostly, Scott got caught up in a romantic moment. As he put it in 2007, "Don't ever take a shower with a woman, because you'll probably end up proposing to her. There was a lot of soap, and I was making a speech, but my entire being was going, 'What are you doing? Shut up!' But I didn't stop."
Bret Michaels: 1993 to 1994
Pamela and the Poison frontman dated for a minute, and allegedly split due to Bret's, shall we say, disinterest in monogamy.
Kelly Slater: ~1994 to 1995
Professional surfer Kelly Slater met Pamela on set of Baywatch and they fell hard. She gushed about him in her Netflix doc, saying "He was such a sweetheart to me and so good to me. Kelly and I dated all the time. Between lots of boyfriends and lots of girlfriends for him, too, but it wasn't just me. He definitely was a heartbreaker. He was a free spirit."
Tommy Lee: 1994 to 1998
Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson met at a club on New Year's Eve. Here's what Tommy had to say about the moment in his memoir, Tommyland, "I went out with some of my best bros to a club…Suddenly, a waitress came over and said, 'Tommy, here's a shot of Goldschläger. It's for you, from Pamela Anderson.' I pushed my way into [her] booth, slid over her girlfriends' laps and forced myself a space right next to her. Then I grabbed her face and just licked the side of it, from chin to temple."
Wow. A move. Anyway, these two started dating in February, Tommy Lee followed Pamela to Cancun for a photoshoot, and he popped the question three days into the trip. The next day, they got married. Though technically Pamela was still dating Kelly.
"I was dating Kelly Slater at the time, and I was supposed to go see him in Florida and meet his family," she said in her Netflix doc. "My first phone call was to him to tell him I was married. He's like, 'What?!' That was horrible.'"
Pam and Tommy went on honeymoon that summer and filmed an intimate video that ended up being stolen, sold, and published without their permission. Amid the aftershocks of that trauma, Pamela welcomed the couple's first son, Brandon, and then their second son, Dylan, in 1997.
The couple divorced in 1998 after Tommy was arrested and charged with spousal abuse, but they got back together a few times over the years.
Marcus Schenkenberg: 2000 to 2001
Pam and Swedish model Marcus Schenkenberg dated for under a year after meeting due to Marcus...saving a bird from a toilet in Monaco? You know what, sure.
Kid Rock: 2001 to 2006
Pamela and Kid Rock (aka Bob Ritchie) married in 2006 after dating for five years, and broke up just a few months later—after a screening of Borat. Per Pamela's memoir, "Lots of important industry people were there—Steven Spielberg, Rick Rubin, Laird Hamilton and his wife, Gabby Reece. I didn't tell Bob I was in the movie, because I wanted to surprise him. I forgot about the part in the film that referenced the 'sex tape.' Bob stormed out, calling me a whore and worse."
She added, "We broke up. I didn't stay in touch with Bob."Love, Pamela: A Memoir

Rick Salomon: 2007
Pamela and Rick married in October 2007, split ten weeks later, got back together, and ended up having their marriage annulled in March 2008. Your favorite circa 2025 celebrity rollercoaster relationship could never.
Rick Salomon: 2014
Pamela and Rick got back together, married in January 2014, and then broke up again that summer (their divorce went through in 2015). "We were only married a few months, it was annulled, but we were still friends," Pam said in her Netflix doc, per the Post. "When he got sober, and was sober for years, we decided to try it again.... It didn't last long either."
Julian Assange: Circa 2017
Pamela was spotted visiting Julian at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London (where he was seeking asylum) back in 2017, and wrote about their burgeoning relationship in her blog. As she put it, "My relationship with Julian—it's no secret. He is one of my favorite people." She also called him "sexy."
Adil Rami: 2017 to 2019
Pamela dated French soccer player Adil Rami for a couple years—and apparently Adil even proposed to Pamela. They broke up after she claimed he was cheating on her (which he denied).
Jon Peters: 2020
Pam and Jon got "married" (it was never official), but said "marriage" only lasted 12 days before they split. The pair remained friends, and Pamela told Variety in 2023 "He's great and has been a huge influence on my life. I love him to death." Meanwhile Peters added 'I will always love Pamela, always in my heart. As a matter of fact, I left her $10 million in my will. And she doesn't even know that. Nobody knows that. I'm just saying it for the first time with you. I probably shouldn't be saying it. So that's for her, whether she needs it or not."
Dan Hayhurst: 2020 to 2022
Pamela fell for her builder, Dan Hayhurst, while he was renovating her house. But it was super short lived, and Pamela told The Sunday Times that it "was stupid," adding that the marriage "was worse than any of them. And I realized, 'Oh my God, I'm caught up in this whole thing, what am I doing?' It just struck me, this is another disaster.... I was paying for everything, cooking, cleaning for everybody. And so I just got out of it as soon as I could."
Liam Neeson: 2025
Pam and Liam met on the set of their film The Naked Gun, and started dating during the press tour. The vibes are adorable, so please enjoy a full deep dive this way:

Laura Coates Uses Trump's Own Words to Shatter ‘Woke' Smithsonian Claims: ‘Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself, Mr. President'
In 2017, Trump called the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture a "beautiful tribute to so many American heroes" CNN's Laura Coates took issue Tuesday night with President Donald Trump's repeated claims that the Smithsonian Institute has gone 'out of control' with woke content and used some of his own words from 2017 to prove him wrong. Trump took to Truth Social Tuesday to announce that he has instructed his attorneys to review the Smithsonian's museums. More from TheWrap Laura Coates Uses Trump's Own Words to Shatter 'Woke' Smithsonian Claims: 'Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself, Mr. President' | Video Trump's White House Lashes Out at Rosie O'Donnell Again in Response to Mark Hamill's Near Emigration 'Morning Joe' Warns Rep. Elise Stefanik's Home District Boos Are a 'Terrible Sign' for Republicans | Video Shonda Rhimes Says Self-Censorship Is Palpable as Networks Cower to Trump 'The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been,' Trump wrote. 'This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE.' Among the museums that Trump has targeted is the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, which Coates was quick to point out Tuesday. The CNN anchor was also quick to note that, contrary to his recent claims, Trump had nothing but good things to say about the museum in question after he toured it in 2017. To prove her point, Coates played a clip of the speech Trump gave following his visit. 'This museum is a beautiful tribute to so many American heroes. It's amazing to see,' Trump said at the time. 'We did a pretty comprehensive tour, but not comprehensive enough. So, [Smithsonian Secretary] Lonnie [Bunch III] I'll be back. I told you that. Because I could stay here for a lot longer, believe me. It's really incredible. This tour was a meaningful reminder of why we have to fight bigotry, intolerance, and hatred in all of its very ugly forms.' You can watch the clip yourself in the video below. For her part, Coates took particular issue with Trump's insistence that the museums his administration is reviewing focus only on suffering and oppression. 'Yes, it goes into the unvarnished truth of slavery in America, the brutal reality that millions endured and the impact that's still felt today,' Coates acknowledge about the National Museum of African American History and Culture. 'But the museum, if you actually go to it rather than just talk about it and see it on paper from a Truth Social post, it doesn't only focus on suffering. It is about resilience and achievement and celebration. Umbrella? History.' The CNN anchor noted that the museum highlights the achievements of Black icons like Muhammad Ali, Louis Armstrong, Jim Brown, Gabby Douglas and Carl Lewis. 'If that's woke, then maybe woke just means telling the whole story because every exhibition that I've just mentioned showcases exactly what Trump says that he wants: success, brightness, a look toward the future,' Coates argued. Responding to Trump's 2017 remark that the museum is a 'reminder of why we have to fight bigotry, intolerance, and hatred in all of its very ugly forms,' Coates concluded, '[I] couldn't have said it better myself, Mr. President.'

Oscar Isaac Is Ready to Be a ‘Star Wars' Again
Oscar Isaac is a perpetually busy actor, and though he's made his share of dramas, he's particularly beloved by genre fans for his work in that realm: Dune, Moon Knight, Ex Machina, the Spider-Verse series, and even those animated Addams Family movies. But atop that mountain sits Star Wars, featuring Isaac as rebel pilot Poe Dameron across the sequel trilogy. With Poe surviving the events of The Rise of Skywalker, might there be a chance fans will see him again? Speaking to Variety in a new interview about Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, featuring Isaac as monster-maker Victor Frankenstein, he was asked if he'd ever return as Poe Dameron. In response, the actor went right to another big franchise: The Simpsons. (Somehow, he hasn't done a voice on the long-running show?) Specifically, he does a Ralph Wiggum imitation, since the piece describes him using 'a high-pitched child's voice' to reply, 'I'm a Star Wars.' All joking aside, though, he went on to add, 'Yeah, I'd be a Star Wars again if there was something good to do with that.' It's just an aside in the article—which is full of fun details about Frankenstein—and it's something Isaac has commented on before, but it's still an intriguing idea. Earlier this year, fellow sequel star John Boyega said at a fan convention that he was also tentatively open to returning to Star Wars, despite his less-than-pleasant experience with its more toxic fans. Might we see a Finn-Poe reunion if that Rey movie ever gets off the ground? Would you be excited to see these jacket-sharing pals get the band back together if so? Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what's next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.

Zack Snyder Sets His Sights on Long-Awaited Passion Project THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH — GeekTyrant
After lots of speculating what he might direct next, Zack Snyder has finally revealed his next film, and it's not another genre epic. Instead, the Rebel Moon director is stepping into completely new territory with a gritty indie war drama titled The Last Photograph . This isn't some random detour. Snyder has reportedly been trying to get this project off the ground for over two decades. Now, he's finally ready to bring his long-gestating vision to life, with production set to kick off next month. The Last Photograph will star Stuart Martin and Fra Free, both of whom fans will recognize from Rebel Moon . The story itself was originally conceived by Snyder and developed into a screenplay by longtime collaborator Kurt Johnstad. Unlike Snyder's massive blockbuster ventures like 300 , Watchmen , or Man of Steel , this movie is shaping up to be a much more intimate, grounded experience. Production will take place across several visually stunning and diverse locations, including Iceland, Colombia, and Los Angeles. Snyder isn't just directing either. He's producing alongside his creative partner and wife Deborah Snyder, and Wesley Coller, under their Stone Quarry production banner. Gianni Nunnari and his Hollywood Gang Productions are also onboard as producers. The score for The Last Photograph will be composed by Hans Zimmer, Steven Doar, and Omer Benyamin. That lineup alone promises something deeply emotional and cinematic. There's no word yet on a release date, but this new direction for Snyder is a refreshing pivot that could surprise a lot of fans, and maybe even win him some new ones. Keep an eye out for more updates as this long-time passion project finally comes to life.
