'That candle burned hot and short,' he told Variety.
Cain explained that he had ties to Anderson, 58, when she was becoming a global sex symbol on the heels of her iconic 'Baywatch' role.
He explained the reason for their break-up was that they were both looking for something different in their relationship.
'She wanted to be with the rock-star kind of guy, and that's not me,' the former 'Lois & Clark' star admitted.

It's no secret that Anderson was living life in the fast lane back in the '90s, as she dated famous musicians and other high-profile stars as she rose to fame.
The former Playboy model has been married five times, with her first husband being Tommy Lee.
She had a short marriage to Kid Rock, then married Rick Salomon, divorced him, and married him again before they split for good.
Her most recent marriage, to her bodyguard, Dan Hayhurst, ended in 2021.

Although Cain has never been married, he's dated several Hollywood actresses, including Brooke Shields.
Despite the short-lived romance with Anderson, Cain said he only had 'fond memories' of their time together.
Cain's comments come after Anderson was caught 'making out' with her 'Naked Gun' co-star Liam Neeson earlier this week.

On Tuesday morning, Anderson and Neeson were caught getting very cozy with one another during their appearance on the 'Today' show – at one point, they were shown with their arms around each other in what appeared to be a passionate embrace.
Neeson, 73, gave Anderson a steamy kiss before the pair turned to the camera, looking surprised.

'I had never met Pamela before,' Neeson explained during their interview. 'We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry — as two actors.'

Neeson continued, hinting that whatever's happening between them isn't being forced.
'It's like, 'Oh, this is nice. Let's not mold this. Let's just let it breathe.' And that's what we did.'
A source close to the film told People that the sparks aren't just for the cameras.
'It's a budding romance in the early stages. It's sincere and it's clear they're smitten with each other,' the insider claimed. Neeson and Anderson are reportedly 'enjoying each other's company.'

Caitlin Clark Brings Chicago Sky Fans to Tears on Sunday
Caitlin Clark Brings Chicago Sky Fans to Tears on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Caitlin Clark did not play against the Chicago Sky on Sunday, but she still brought tears of joy to the fans who packed United Center to see her when the Indiana Fever came to town. Caitlin Clark Goes Above and Beyond for Fans in Chicago According to play-by-play voice Ryan Ruocco on the ABC broadcast, Clark signed more than 200 autographs before the game tipped off. Local reporter Kylen Mills added that it took the Fever star at least 20 minutes to traverse two-thirds of the arena as she attempted to create memories for the Midwestern fans. Security tried to stop Clark's autograph session, but the 23-year-old refused. Nobody appreciated it more than these two young fans wearing Sky shirts who put their WNBA allegiance aside to get Clark to sign the Iowa Hawkeyes shirts they adorably smuggled in. Caitlin Clark Understands Her Impact on WNBA For many fans in the Midwest — even the Sky's local fan base — this was the best opportunity to see Clark play this season. Chicago is two hours closer to Iowa City than Indianapolis, making it a more realistic trip for fans from the state where Clark grew up and gained her massive following at University of Iowa. The Sky moved the game from 10,000-seat Wintrust Arena to the 23,500-seat United Center in anticipation of the fans' demand to see Clark play against Angel Reese and the Sky. The last time the Fever played in United Center on June 7, it set the franchise single-game attendance record with 19,496 fans packed in the Chicago Bulls' home arena. Sunday's attendance of 19,601 set a new record, even without Clark and Reese playing. The Fever lead the WNBA in average road attendance by more than 5,000 over second-place Las Vegas Aces, and Sunday gave another example of Clark embracing the love with open arms. "(Clark) understands the responsibility that she has," WNBA legend Rebecca Lobo said with admiration on the broadcast, "and she loves growing the game in that way."This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 27, 2025, where it first appeared.

Comedian Bobby Lee, who played the role of Jackie Nee in the first two seasons, also claimed last month that the spinoff suffered from 'woke elements.'

However, insiders speculated that the series was most likely cut because it was simply becoming too expensive.
