Pamela Anderson is a Canadian-American actress, model and media personality. She rose to prominence after being featured in the February 1990 edition of Playboy as the Playmate of the Month. The actress has the record for having the most Playboy cover appearances. As for her acting stint, she began her career with Home Improvement, and there was no looking back for her after that. However, her professional life is not the only thing that has kept her in the limelight.
Pamela Anderson has been the star of the headlines lately, and she has once again garnered a lot of attention. However, as there are a lot of speculations around her current romantic situation, let us take you back to the short-lived marriage that left the actress with a massive inheritance. Yes! We are talking about Pamela’s husband of 12 days, Jon Peters, who made headlines for including Pamela in his will, despite their marriage lasting less than two weeks.
Pamela Anderson and Jon Peters’ short-lived marriage
Pamela Anderson and Jon Peters have had an unconventional relationship, to say the least. The actress met Jon in the mid-1980s, and they dated for a while. However, not many know that Jon had proposed to Pamela even then, but it never manifested into marriage. So, when they reconnected in 2019, he knew he couldn’t let her go without giving their relationship another chance.
Pamela Anderson and Jon Peters found solace in each other over the next few months, and by the time the new year arrived, they had decided to get hitched. Soon, the duo tied the knot in a private ceremony. Their intimate wedding took place in January 2020 in Malibu. After their surprise nuptials in 2020, Peters told The Hollywood Reporter that Pamela was yet to see her full potential, and there was so much more to her than what people saw. He stated:
“Pamela has never seen her full potential as an artist. She has yet to shine in a real way. There is much more to her than meets the eye, or I wouldn’t love her so much. There are beautiful girls everywhere. I could have my pick, but — for 35 years — I’ve only wanted Pamela. She makes me wild — in a good way. She inspires me. I protect her and treat her the way she deserves to be treated.”
Pamela Anderson revealed that her and Jon Peters’ marriage wasn’t legally formalised
While love can conquer a lot, marriage is not just rainbows and sunshine; it involves patience, understanding, love and responsibilities. The same turned out to create a disbalance between Pamela Anderson and Jon Peters, and only 12 days after their marriage, the actress revealed that they were ‘rethinking’ their decision. During the conversation, Pamela revealed that she was truly moved by the love she and Jon had received. However, they have decided to take some time apart to figure out what they want from life and from one another.
In the same conversation, she revealed that with the universal truth in their mind, she and Jon Peters have decided not to formalise their marriage certificate and give each other time. Pamela Anderson’s revelation created a massive buzz online. However, the couple did what was best for them and a year later, they officially called their wedding off, stating that since they were never legally married, there was no need for a divorce. Pamela called it a ‘bizarre theatrical lunch.’ The actress, in an interview with Variety, shared:
“He’s great and has been a huge influence on my life. I love him to death.”
Jon Peters will be leaving Pamela Anderson 10 million US Dollars in his will
While their marriage failed, their love for each other has only grown over time. So much so that Jon Peters revealed to a media outlet that he is giving Pamela Anderson a massive 10 million US dollars in his will. He added that he will always love the actress, and so, whether she needs the money or not, he will leave her something. He was quoted as saying:
“I will always love Pamela, always in my heart. As a matter of fact, I left her 10 million US Dollars 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.”
