Are Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson Dating?
Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are back with their latest flick, The Naked Gun, and while the pair could easily captivate audiences on screen, the same could be said of their real-life connection. The stars have raised eyebrows with their sweet comments about each other and, yes, even a red carpet kiss, throughout the movie's press tour. Of course, fans everywhere are now asking: Are Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson dating? We're just as curious as you are, so let's look into the receipts. While the actors have been household names in Hollywood for decades now, they've only grown close since they starred in The Naked Gun together. In fact, Liam fully gushed about working with the Barbed Wire star during his November 2024 cover story with People and even claimed he was 'madly in love with her.' As he told the mag, 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with.' Pam echoed his sentiment, calling him 'the perfect gentleman' because he 'sincerely looked after me—wrapped his coat around me when I was cold.' She also told the publication, 'He brings out the best in you…with respect, kindness, and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.' Liam's viral 'madly in love' comment came back around during a recent interview etalk CTV. Spoiler alert: He didn't walk it back. 'We had a lovely chemistry working together,' Liam said of his on-set dynamic with Pam. He then took a moment to commend The Last Showgirl actor, adding, 'Pamela's become a new power. I'm delighted, you know? And she's terrific. I have every admiration for her, for this kickoff on the second part of her career. It's amazing, it's wonderful. And she's so ready for it.' The pair fueled romance rumors even further as they cozied up to each other on the red carpet during the New York City premiere of The Naked Gun on July 28. The event also became a family affair, as their grown children joined them for photos. Most recently, during a July 29 appearance on The Today Show, anchor Craig Melvin asked the pair what we're all thinking: 'What's the deal here? You're both single right now. There's clearly chemistry on display throughout this film. Are you two an item?' Liam playfully replied, 'Craig!' as Pam chimed in, 'I don't understand the question.' The Absolution actor then doubled down on his previous statements, saying, 'I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry—as two actors. It's like, 'Oh, this is nice. Let's not mold this. Let's just let it breathe,' and that's what we did.' Neither Liam nor Pam explicitly stated whether they're dating, but it's safe to assume they're fully playing into the bit, as they proceeded to pretend-kiss on camera: In the past, Liam was romantically linked to The Parent Trap actor Natasha Richardson from 1994 until she tragically passed from a traumatic brain injury in 2009. They also share two sons, Micheál and Daniel. Pamela has been married four times, perhaps most famously to Mötley Crüe's drummer, Tommy Lee. They were together from 1995 to 1998 and welcomed two sons, Brandon Thomas and Dylan Jagger.

AEW Star Saraya Opens Up About a Potential WWE Return
Former AEW World Champion Saraya recently discussed the possibility of returning to WWE. In late 2017, she suffered a serious neck injury during a live event while competing as Paige in WWE. Despite the setback, she continued to accompany her Absolution teammates, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville. In April 2018, Saraya appeared on WWE RAW after WrestleMania 34, where she announced her retirement. She remained with WWE for several years in various on-screen roles before leaving in 2022 when her contract expired. Determined to wrestle again, she made her in-ring return nearly five years later at AEW Full Gear 2022, where she faced Britt Baker. However, she has not competed in AEW since October 2024, when she lost a Women's World Championship four-way match on Dynamite. Saraya recently shared a major update on her wrestling career, revealing that she is nearing retirement. Although she plans to step away from wrestling, she confirmed that she will return to AEW in the future. Amid this, in a new interview, Saraya also spoke about the possibility of returning to WWE. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saraya Bevis (@saraya) In an interview with the Hall of Fame podcast, Saraya expressed her willingness to return to WWE if the right opportunity comes up. She stated: 'Yeah, so I love WWE and I don't have any negative feelings towards them. I mean, they raised me, they saved me a lot. I just appreciate them so much, and the idea of going somewhere else was only because of the potential of my brother being there. That was like a big thing — I just wanted him to be a success in wrestling, you know? I love WWE and I would absolutely — if there was something that they needed from me which was exciting, I would definitely go there. Yeah, absolutely, it would be silly not to. If there's an opportunity to do something fun — hell yeah, I'll jump on board.' [H/T: Fightful] Saraya's brother, Zak Knight, who competed in several matches in AEW, saw his contract expire earlier this month.
