Pamela Anderson was one of the biggest stars of the 1990s, thanks to her roles in movies and TV shows, including Baywatch.
Her personal life also made plenty of headlines.
The star has been married five times, including to rocker Tommy Lee, and had high-profile romances with everyone from Scott Baio to Kelly Slater.

Now, it seems Anderson may finally be getting her happily ever after with none other than Irish movie star Liam Neeson.
Speculation of a romance between the Naked Gun co-stars have been swirling for weeks, further fuelled by their red carpet appearances and interviews.
People has reportedly confirmed the pair are an item, with a source telling the media outlet, “It’s a budding romance in the early stages. It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other.”
As the news dominates headlines, let’s take a look back at Anderson’s previous romances.

Jon Peters
Anderson was reportedly at the Playboy mansion when she met former hairdresser turned movie producer Jon Peters.
“I walked in and saw this little angel sitting at the bar. It was Pammy. She was like 19. I knew she would be a big star,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2017.
“We ended up living together.”
He proposed, but she turned him down due to their 22-year age gap.
The two reunited in 2019, and held a wedding ceremony in January 2020.
But less than two weeks later, they announced they were re-evaluating their relationship before Anderson released a statement saying they were “never legally married.”
Scott Baio
Anderson met Scott Baio at another party at the Playboy mansion in 1990. She later said she spurned off the advances of actor Sean Penn in favour of Baio, then a huge star thanks to TV shows such as Happy Days.
She went on to appear in an episode of his show Charles in Charge.
Anderson continued to model while launching her acting career. Her big break came in 1991 when she appeared as Lisa the “Tool Time Girl” on the sitcom Home Improvement.
She was then cast as CJ Parker on the prime time TV show Baywatch.
Anderson and Baio were together three years and reportedly got engaged in the shower before they split up, something Baio blamed on her breast augmentation surgery.

Kelly Slater
Anderson met pro surfer Kelly Slater on the set of Baywatch, where he played Jimmy Slade, and the two began seeing each other.
She talked about their relationship in the Netflix documentary, Pamela, A Love Story.
“I met Kelly Slater on the set of Baywatch. He was my big love actually. He was such a sweetheart to me, and so good to me,” she said.

“Kelly and I were together between lots of boyfriends and lots of girlfriends for him too… it wasn’t just me.
“He definitely was a heartbreaker. I mean he was just a free spirit, you couldn’t get your hands around him.”
The two were still dating and she was due to meet his family after she returned from a photo shoot in Cancun, Mexico, where she married rocker Tommy Lee.
“My first phone call was to [Slater] to tell him I was married. He was like, ‘What?’ That was horrible,” she revealed in the documentary.
Tommy Lee
Anderson met the Motley Crue drummer at a club on New Year’s Eve 1994.
In his autobiography, The Dirt, Lee wrote that a waitress came over with a drink, saying, “It’s for you, from Pamela Anderson.”
“She was wearing all white, her hair was the most perfect shade of blond I had ever seen, her teeth practically glowed through her lips when she laughed, and she stood out so radiantly from everyone around her that it seemed like a beam of black light was shining on her from above.”

Lee went over to introduce himself and sat beside her. “Then I grabbed her face and just licked the side of it, from chin to temple.”
Anderson told People in 2015, “It really was love at first sight”.
Lee got her number and the two talked on the phone for six weeks before Anderson jetted to Cancun, where Lee turned up unannounced.
Three days later he asked her to marry him. They wed the next day, with the groom shirtless and the bride famously wearing a white bikini.
An intimate video filmed on their honeymoon was later stolen and used to make a sex tape. The couple sued, and Anderson later said the tape and lawsuit were factors in the breakdown of their marriage.
Anderson gave birth to their first child, son Brandon, in May 1996. A few months later Anderson filed for divorce before the two reunited.
A second son, Dylan, was born in December 1997.
The following February, police were called to the couple’s home and Lee was charged with felony spousal abuse and child abuse. He was later sentenced to six months’ jail.
Anderson revealed in her 2023 memoir, Love, Pamela, “Tommy ripped Brandon off me and threw me and Dylan into a wall”.
Anderson filed for divorce two days later before they reconciled again.
Their on-off relationship continued for years, despite Anderson moving on, first with Swedish model Marcus Schenkenberg, to whom she became engaged before they split in 2001.
Kid Rock
Anderson and Kid Rock first began dating in 2001 and became engaged in 2002 before splitting the following year.
They rekindled their romance in July 2006 after running into each other in St Tropez.
They returned to St Tropez that same month and married aboard a yacht before Anderson filed for divorce just five months later.
Rick Salomon
Anderson married her long-time friend Rick Salomon in Las Vegas in October 2007 but she filed for divorce just two months later.
They reconciled but were granted an annulment in March 2008.
In January 2014, news broke that Anderson and Salomon had remarried. Anderson later told E! News, “We’re very happy. Our families are very happy and that’s all that matters.”
But by July that year, Anderson had again filed for divorce. A messy court case followed.
Tommy Lee – again
In between her marriages to Salomon, Anderson and Lee tried again.
Lee reportedly told Rolling Stone in 2008, “We’ve only given it a try 800 times – 801, here we go. Pamela and the kids have moved in with me. It’s awesome. It’s definitely working.”
They continued to have an on-off relationship for a number of years before finally calling it quits.
Lee eventually moved on with wife Brittany Furlan Lee, whom he married in 2018.
In 2015, she told People that Lee was “the love of my life.”
However, their friendship cooled in 2018 after she brought up the 1998 assault during an interview. It also caused bad blood between Anderson and Lee’s now estranged wife Furlan.
She and Lee have since put it behind them, appearing together in public a number of times.
Dan Hayhurst
Anderson married her bodyguard Dan Hayhurst on Christmas Eve 2020 at her Canadian home.
She confirmed the news to The Daily Mail in January 2021, saying, “I’m exactly where I need to be – in the arms of a man who truly loves me.”
Just one year later, People reported the two had separated.
Liam Neeson
This romance hasn’t been confirmed, but speculation is swirling.
Anderson and Liam Neeson first met on the set of their new film, The Naked Gun, which is a remake of the 1988 film of the same name starring Leslie Nielson.
Despite being major stars, the two had reportedly never crossed paths until Anderson was cast in the film.
Director Akiva Schaffer told Entertainment Weekly earlier this month that she had been one of three actresses vying for the role, which she won in part because of the chemistry she shared with Neeson.
Filming started last year in the US city of Atlanta, but it wasn’t until October that talk started about their close relationship.
In an interview with People to kick off publicity for the film, Neeson, now 73, had nothing but praise for Anderson, who is 58.
“With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her. She’s just terrific to work with,” he said at the time.
“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.”
In the same interview, Anderson said Neeson was “the perfect gentleman” during the six-week shoot.
“He brings out the best in you… with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.”
Fast forward to July 2025, and tongues started to wag about a possible romance when Anderson planted a kiss on her co-star’s cheek at the UK premiere of the film, then posed alongside their children – they each have two sons – at the US premiere.
Then this week, they staged a kiss during an appearance on the US Today show, and refused to confirm or deny they were an item.
When pressed by host Craig Melvin, Neeson said, “I had never met Pamela before, we met on set and we have a lovely budding chemistry as two actors.
“And it was like, ‘Oh this is nice, let’s not mould this, let’s just let it breathe’ and that’s what we did.”
Now People has reportedly confirmed the pair are an item, with a source telling the media outlet, “It’s a budding romance in the early stages. It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other.”
The source added that the two were currently “enjoying each other’s company”.
Time will tell if Anderson will be the one to finally help Neeson mend his broken heart 14 years after the tragic death of his actress wife Natasha Richardson following a skiing accident.
