Pamela Anderson has been married to four men, including Tommy Lee and Kid Rock
Pamela Anderson has never shied away from love.
The Baywatch star has gotten married four different times. Her most famous wedding was to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, whom she eloped with in 1995 after just four days of knowing each other. The couple welcomed two sons, Brandon Thomas and Dylan Jagger, before their 1998 divorce.
In 2006, she tied the knot with Kid Rock, though the marriage was short-lived. She then married Rick Salomon twice — once in 2007 and again in 2014 — divorcing him both times.
Anderson had a brief, 12-day union with film producer Jon Peters in 2020, though it wasn't legally binding as they never filed the official paperwork. In December 2020, she married her bodyguard, Dan Hayhurst. They split the following year.
In addition to her marriages, Anderson dated several notable men, including Australian World Surf League champion Kelly Slater. Most recently, she was seen planting a kiss on the cheek of her Naked Gun costar, Liam Neeson, in July 2025, although the two are not a couple.
Here's everything to know about Pamela Anderson's dating history.
Scott Baio
Charles in Charge star Scott Baio and Anderson met at a party in the late '80s, and the two quickly began dating. Their relationship even led to her landing a guest role on his show — one of her earliest acting gigs.
Anderson and Baio were together for three years, and he later claimed he proposed to her while they were showering together.
'Don't ever take a shower with a woman, because you'll probably end up proposing to her,' he said in 2007. "There was a lot of soap, and I was making a speech, but my entire being was going, 'What are you doing? Shut up!' But I didn't stop.'
The couple split in 1993. Anderson chalked it up to fundamentally different worldviews.
'Scott's a great guy,' she once said. 'But he's very practical and logical. I live day by day, and he's not spontaneous at all.'
Kelly Slater
Anderson met Slater in the '90s while starring together on Baywatch.
In her 2023 Netflix documentary, Pamela, a Love Story, Anderson described Slater as her first 'big love,' despite their on-and-off dynamic.
'He was such a sweetheart to me and so good to me,' she recalled. 'Kelly and I dated all the time. Between lots of boyfriends and lots of girlfriends for him, too, but it wasn't just me. He definitely was a heartbreaker. He was a free spirit.'
When Anderson spontaneously married Lee in 1995, she and Slater were technically still together.
'He was like, 'What?!' ' she said. 'That was horrible.'
Tommy Lee
After knowing each other for just 96 hours, Anderson and Lee eloped on a beach in Mexico in 1995.
"I don't know if they were in love with each other," witness and local club manager Marcos Corminas told PEOPLE at the time. "But they really liked each other a lot and were having a lot of fun."
Their tumultuous marriage lasted for three years, during which time they weathered scandals ranging from a leaked sex tape to a domestic dispute that led to Lee being sentenced to six months in the Los Angeles County Jail for spousal battery, per the Los Angeles Times.
They welcomed two sons before divorcing in 1998.
By June 2008, Anderson and Lee were back together again, with Lee telling Rolling Stone, "We've only given it a try 800 times — 801, here we go. Pamela and the kids have moved in with me. It's awesome. It's definitely working."
Though they never remarried, in August 2015, Anderson told PEOPLE, "He was the love of my life. There was Tommy and then there was nobody else."
Marcus Schenkenberg
After her first split from Lee, Anderson had a whirlwind romance with Swedish Calvin Klein model Marcus Schenkenberg. The two got engaged but ultimately ended things in 2001.
"Marcus is a really nice man, but I'm just looking for something different in my life — someone with a little passion in their life," she told WENN in February of that year, per Cinema.com.
She added that her demanding schedule made relationships difficult: "I work 18-hour days. I have a big life, and I want someone who has a life so we can come together and have a life together. But I don't want to take care of anyone other than my kids."
Kid Rock
Rock and Anderson began dating in the spring of 2001 and got engaged on April 11, 2002, in the Las Vegas desert. However, they split the following year.
They rekindled their romance in July 2006 when they ran into each other in St. Tropez on a yacht owned by a mutual friend. "It was like we'd never been apart," Rock told PEOPLE afterward.
That same month, Rock and Anderson married in front of famous friends — also aboard a yacht in St. Tropez — but Anderson filed for divorce that November.
Rick Salomon
Anderson's third marriage was to Salomon at a Las Vegas hotel in October 2007.
"They are head over heels in love," a source told PEOPLE at the time.
However, Anderson filed for divorce that December. While the two appeared to reconcile for a brief time, they were granted an annulment in March 2008, both citing fraud as the reason to end the marriage.
In January 2014, news broke that Anderson and Salomon had wed a second time.
Following the wedding, Anderson spoke to E! News, saying, "We're very happy. Our families are very happy, and that's all that matters."
In February 2015, the actress filed for divorce again, citing irreconcilable differences.
Jon Peters
Anderson met Peters, a film producer, at the Playboy Mansion in the mid-1980s.
"I walked in and saw this little angel sitting at the bar. It was Pammy. She was like 19. I knew she would be a big star," he told The Hollywood Reporter in October 2017. "We ended up living together."
Peters also told the outlet that he helped launch Anderson's career and proposed at the time, but she turned him down, citing their 22-year age difference.
The pair reunited in late 2019 and secretly wed on Jan. 20, 2020, in Malibu, Calif. Less than two weeks later, Anderson told The Hollywood Reporter that they were stepping back to "re-evaluate what we want from life and from one another."
She continued, "Life is a journey, and love is a process. With that universal truth in mind, we have mutually decided to put off the formalization of our marriage certificate and put our faith in the process."
In September 2020, the actress released a statement on X, asserting that she and Peters were "never legally married" and that the producer was simply a "life long family friend."
"No hard feelings — no Marriage, no Divorce...just a bizarre theatrical lunch," the statement continued.
Dan Hayhurst
Anderson married Hayhurst on Dec. 24, 2020, in an intimate ceremony on the grounds of her Canadian home, per the Daily Mail.
"I'm exactly where I need to be — in the arms of a man who truly loves me," Anderson told the outlet in January 2021.
The Playboy model said the two had married "on the property I bought from my grandparents 25 years ago," adding, "This is where my parents were married and they are still together. I feel like I've come full circle."
On Jan. 20, 2022, however, a representative for the actress confirmed to PEOPLE that the newlyweds had split.
