From mesmerising everyone with Baywatch to ruling hearts with her cover photo on Playboy magazine, Pamela Anderson will be a heartthrob forever. However in her real-life the model turned actress’ love-life has ended up in heartbreak. With five failed marriages behind her, Pamela has been quite unlucky in love. But now specualtions about her dating life are rife again with many linking her name with her The Naked Gun co-star, Liam Neeson.
Pamela Anderson’s first marriage to Tommy Lee
Pamela Anderson was first married to the drummer of the Motley Crue band, Tommy Lee. The couple got married in 1995 and share two sons, Brandon Thomas and Dylan Jagger. Pamela and Tommy knew each other for only four days when they decided to tie the knot. As per reports, the ex-couple got married on a beach with Pamela wearing a white bikini and Tommy in broad shorts. However, in 1998, the actress accused Tommy of assaulting her, after which the drummer was jailed for six months. Pamela filed for divorce as well. After Tommy and their eldest son got into a fight in 2018, Pamela wrote in a now-deleted post:
“I pray Tommy gets the help he needs. His actions are desperate and humiliating. He is a disaster spinning out of control. … I will never talk to Tommy again before he is sober and in his right mind. … This is the Devil – This is the disease of alcoholism.”
Pamela Anderson’s second marriage to Kid Rock
Pamela Anderson was married to American rapper and songwriter, Kid Rock from 2006 to 2007. As per reports, while shooting for her film, Blonde and Blonder, the actress suffered a miscarriage, following which she filed for divorce from her then-husband, Kid Rock. Regretting her second marriage, Pamela said in an interview with Howard Stein:
“I feel like I just jumped into something because of Tommy and I did, because we had this incredible connection. But then you jump into something and it’s like, ‘Oh, it’s not this incredible connection; it’s just something else.’ Then I slowly try and find my way out.”
Rick Salomon was Pamela Anderson’s third and as well as fourth husband
Pamela Anderson married poker player, Rick Salomon twice. Hence, both of her third and fourth marriages were with the same person. In 2007, the actress got married to Rick, but in 2008 she requested the court to annul the marriage. The reason for this annulment was cited as fraud by Pamela. She even said on the Ellen DeGeneres Show that she and Rick were just ‘friends with benefits’.
However, in 2014, they remarried. Ironically, within a year of marriage, Pamela filed for divorce again from Rick in 2015. As per People, the ex-couple said in a statement:
“Public divorces can be harsh and cruel – we apologize to our families and friends for any hurt and embarrassment we have caused – we have come to an amicable agreement and are moving on. There are private and personal family sensitivities to consider and we retract any hurtful comments made in haste and distaste. We wish each other and our families well.”
Pamela Anderson’s fifth marriage to Dan Hayhurst
In 2021, Pamela announced that she had married her bodyguard, Dan Hayhurst. After this marriage, in an interview with DailyMailTV, the actress had claimed that she was exactly where she needed to be, which was ‘in the arms of a man’ who truly loves her. Pamela also revealed that during Christmas Eve, she got married to Dan at the place where her parents had tied the knot. However, in 2022, Pamela and Dan also divorced.
Pamela Anderson’s growing closeness to co-star, Liam Neeson
Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson looked quite cosy on the red carpet of their film, The Naked Gun‘s UK premiere. Pamela kissed him on the cheek while he embraced her. Both of them have also made flattering comments about each other. Pamela said that Entertainment Weekly that their chemistry was ‘clear from the start’. Liam, on the other hand, claimed that he was madly in love with Pamela. He told People in an interview:
“With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her…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…”
