Are Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson dating? Everything we know

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson have set tongues wagging as to whether they are or are not in a relationship.

The pair have grown noticeably closer in public, even attending the red carpet together, alongside their children, appearing as one big happy family.

The Baywatch star and the Taken hero have even spoken gushingly about one another in interviews.

Pamela said it is “impossible” not to fall in love with Neeson, while he has admitted to being “madly in love” with his co-star.

Social media fans are also keeping a close eye - with many loving the supposed new love in, while others question whether it is a publicity stunt.

But are they officially together? Here is all we know:

The pair began rumours when they appeared close while on the red carpet in the promotional push for their film Naked Gun.

Around that time, a source told DailyMail.com that the movie star duo were officially an item, and they did not deny the rumours - instead telling press how they were in love with each other.

But now it seems the pair are not together according to rumours, leaving many wondering whether it was all a publicity stunt.

Are they dating now?

The pair have not ever provided any comments confirming their relationship but sources seem to suggest the pair were dating for some time. Their current status is unknown.

The two performers did say they are “smitten” with each other through sources though, who spoke to People magazine without providing any other information.

Sparks allegedly first appeared when they started filming in May 2024. According to the source, “She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers, and spending time with her sons and dogs.”

Dating rumours began to circulate when Liam gushed about working with the Barbed Wire star in his People cover story in November 2024, even going so far as to say he was "madly in love with her".

He told the magazine: “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.”

Meanwhile, Anderson referred to him as “the perfect gentleman” and told the magazine, “He brings out the best in you…with respect, kindness, and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.”

How did they meet?

The pair met on the set of The Naked Gun, according to Neeson.

Neeson told NBC’s Today: “I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely budding chemistry as two actors. It was like, ‘Oh, this is nice, let’s not mold this. Let’s just let it breathe.’ And that’s what we did.”

The film is the fourth big-screen instalment of the crime-spoof comedy franchise, which started with the ABC series Police Squad! in 1982.

Neeson plays the role of Frank Drebin Jr. while Anderson portrays Beth Davenport in the 2025 film. Additionally, it marks Anderson's comeback to comedy following her highly praised role in The Last Showgirl.

Who has Pamela Anderson dated before?

Anderson has been married five times to Dan Hayhurst, Kid Rock, Rick Salomon (twice), and Tommy Lee.

In regards to Salomon, ELLE claims that although they were first married in October 2007 in Las Vegas, their marriage was dissolved in 2008. They then remarried in January 2014, but divorced later that year.

The 58-year-old has also been linked to Jon Peters, Scott Baio, and Kelly Slater, as well as Bret Michaels, among others.

She shares two sons, Brandon Thomas and Dylan Jagger, with Motley Crue drummer Lee.

Who has Liam Neeson dated before?

Neeson was married to The Parent Trap actress Natasha Richardson for 15 years after meeting on Broadway in 1993. Richardson tragically died from a skiing accident in March 2009.

From their marriage, they have two sons: Micheál and Daniel.

His other notable past relationships include Helen Mirren. The pair dated in the early 1980s after meeting on Excalibur in 1981. They reportedly lived together and were together for about three to four years.

Neeson later said: “I should be so lucky and be honoured to have spent three or four years with that lady.”

Neeson also reportedly dated Julia Roberts in 1988, when she was 19 and he was 35. The relationship lasted around two years until 1990.

The 73-year-old is also said to have dated Brooke Shields, Barbra Streisand, Janice Dickinson and Sinead O’Connor.
