Liam Neeson's sister-in-law approves of romance following late wife's tragic death
Liam Neeson 's former sister-in-law Joely Richardson has given her nod of approval for his new reported relationship with Hollywood star Pamela Anderson, 16 years after his late wife passed away in a tragic accident.
Liam's late wife, Natasha, tragically passed away after sustaining a serious injury to her brain following a skiing accident when she was just 45 years old. The couple were married for 15 years and shared two children, Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28.
Since Natasha's sudden death, Liam has mostly remained single, except for a 2-year relationship with PR executive Freya St. Johnston. That was up until recent times when he sweetly announced that he is in a relationship with Baywatch star Pamela Anderson.
Liam, 73, and Pamela, 58, are starring in a new comedy together, Naked Gun, where it is rumoured their romance started. The former Baywatch star shared an Instagram post which included the Taken actor, along with the caption: 'The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it's good for you! I'll see you there.'
Joely, the younger sister of Liam's late wife, commented a string of red hearts, which more than 750 Instagram users have liked.
The sweet sign of approval by Joely comes after Pamela shared she how she impressed Liam with her homemade cooking, more specifically, sourdough bread and muffins.
While she is highly known for her iconic red swimsuit on Baywatch, Pamela is also a renowned cook and has even brought out her own cookbook. I Love You: Recipes From The Heart was nominated for a 2025 James Beard Award.
At a SiriusXM Town Hall event in New York City on Wednesday, Pamela shared: "[I was] nervous to meet [Liam], of course and you're always nervous the first day on the set..."
"I brought sourdough bread to Liam and cookies and muffins and kept me busy. Kept me outta trouble ... It's a very special [muffin] recipe. It's very good for you. Let's just say that."
According to the Daily Mail, the pair have been spending quality time at Pamela's Canadian home, bonding over shared interests like gardening and baking.
A source revealed to DailyMail: 'Pam is very drawn to Liam because he is totally open to her way of thinking and living, and especially her approach to fame, which is impressive.
"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."

Oasis dedicate song to ‘people who can't be here tonight' at Wembley gig
The touching moment came as the Manchester band brought to a close their first run of five gigs at the venue as part of their Live 25 tour. A man in his 40s was pronounced dead at the scene at the stadium on Saturday after being 'found with injuries consistent with a fall'. Night five of #OasisLive25 at Wembley. — Wembley Stadium (@wembleystadium) August 3, 2025 Addressing fans on Sunday night after finishing Whatever, singer Liam Gallagher said: 'This one's for all the people who can't be here tonight, but who are here if you know what I mean, and aren't they looking lovely. Live Forever.' The band then played the track of the same name. The tribute came during a crowd-pleasing set packed with their biggest hits such as Cigarettes And Alcohol, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger, with the group set to return to the national football stadium for two further dates in September. Liam and Noel Gallagher arrived on stage hand-in-hand, opening with Hello, from their 1995 album (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, prompting mass football terrace-style singalongs for an opening salvo of fan favourites that included Acquiesce, Some Might Say and Morning Glory. Before Roll With It, Liam joked to the crowd that guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs wanted to sing Bonehead's Bank Holiday, an album track from (What's The Story) Morning Glory? During 1994 standalone single Whatever, the band made a nod to their Beatles influence by including a snippet of Octopus's Garden, from 1969's Abbey Road album. Before Half The World Away, Noel asked the crowd if there was anyone from Manchester in the crowd, receiving a number of boos. He replied: 'None of you would be here if it wasn't for the city of Manchester.' The set climaxed with fireworks erupting over Wembley as the band played Champagne Supernova. Before the final song, Liam told the crowd: 'Nice one for putting up with us after all these years.' The run of concerts has been the first time they have appeared together onstage at the London venue since July 12 2009, when they performed during the Dig Out Your Soul tour. After the first part of their Wembley stint, the band will head to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium followed by Dublin's Croke Park. The group will head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America later in the year. Oasis announced their reunion tour in August last year, 16 years after their dramatic split in 2009 which saw Noel quit following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
