A timeline of Pamela Anderson's relationships, from marrying Tommy Lee to sparking dating rumors with Liam Neeson

Jon Peters In the late 1980s, Anderson dated "Batman" producer Jon Peters. They then rekindled their relationship in 2019 and reports claimed they'd married in a private ceremony in 2020. Twelve days later, Anderson told The Hollywood Reporter that the marriage paperwork was never formalized and that the two were going their separate ways. In a 2024 interview, Anderson again denied that she and Peters ever married, telling The Hollywood Reporter, "it was just a funny moment." Scott Baio Bret Michaels Anderson's attraction to bad boy rockers started with Michaels, but she and the Poison frontman only lasted a year. Kelly Slater Anderson dated her "Baywatch" costar on and off for years beginning in the mid-1990s and up until she became smitten by another hard rocker. Tommy Lee When Anderson met Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee in 1995, she thought she'd found her soulmate. Four days after meeting, they married; they went on to have two children together. Anderson and Lee's three-year-relationship quickly became a focus of the tabloids. When their sex tape was leaked to the public, they catapulted into pop-culture infamy. The sex tape saga would go on to become the basis of the 2022 Hulu limited series "Pam & Tommy." The two tried to rekindle their relationship in the early 2000s, but it didn't last. Marcus Schenkenberg Kid Rock Anderson nabbed another bad boy rocker in 2001. She and Kid Rock were briefly engaged during their two years together. They married in 2006, but divorced less than a year later. Laurence Hallier Rick Salomon Anderson's third (and fourth) husband is someone who has been close to her for years. She and the professional poker player first married in 2007; that only lasted a year. They tried again in 2014, but again, for only a year. Jamie Padgett Julian Assange In 2017, at the height of Assange's political asylum inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, Anderson had a fling with the WikiLeaks founder. Adil Rami Dan Hayhurst Liam Neeson Anderson and Neeson had never met before costarring in "The Naked Gun." Rumors that they were dating began to swirl when the two began doing press for the movie in July 2025. While appearing on "Today," the two were asked about the dating rumors. "It's like, 'Oh, this is nice. Let's not mold this. Let's just let it breathe,'" Neeson said. "And that's what we did." The same day they were on "Today," People reported that the two are dating. A source told the outlet: "It's a budding romance in the early stages. It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other."

73-Year-Old Liam Neeson is Officially Dating 58-Year-Old Pamela Anderson: A Look at Their WILD Love History

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are officially dating after meeting on the set of The Naked Gun reboot, which is set to release in August 2025. According to PEOPLE, the two stars have entered the 'early stages' of a "sincere" romance, and their bond has grown stronger during the film's promotional events. From screen to real life: Naked Gun chemistry Anderson, 58, and Neeson, 73, were first spotted together during filming in 2024. Their chemistry was immediate, both on screen and off. Neeson confirmed his feelings in an interview that year, saying, 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her.' At the London premiere in July 2025, the couple displayed affectionate behavior when Pamela Anderson kissed Liam Neeson on the cheek. Neeson smiled and said, 'I feel like a couple right now!' Just a day later, the pair shared a spontaneous kiss during an appearance on The Today Show, prompting questions from the host. Neeson responded, 'Our chemistry is lovely and budding.' A source told PEOPLE that the actors are 'enjoying each other's company' and have been spending time with their families as well. At the Naked Gun premiere in New York on July 28, they appeared alongside their grown-up sons, presenting a blended family atmosphere. Here's a look at Pamela Anderson's love life and past marriages Pamela Anderson's dating history has often made headlines. She was famously married to Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe just four days after they met in 1995. They had two sons, Brandon and Dylan, but divorced in 1998 after a domestic violence incident. Anderson married singer Kid Rock in 2006, but the relationship lasted only a few months. Reports cited lifestyle differences and arguments. Her next relationship with Rick Salomon led to two brief marriages, both ending in annulment or divorce. In 2020, Anderson announced a marriage to producer Jon Peters, though she later clarified it wasn't legally binding. That same year, she married Dan Hayhurst in a private ceremony, but they separated in early 2022. She also dated French footballer Adil Rami from 2017 to 2019. The relationship ended after she accused him of cheating. The Naked Gun reboot features Neeson as a veteran detective with a sharp mind and dry wit, while Anderson plays his confident and capable partner. Their on-screen dynamic seems to have carried over into real life.

Pamela Anderson dating Liam Neeson? All about the dating history of The Naked Gun star (and her past marriages)

Move over Ana de Armas 'Cruise'ing all over the world; Hollywood's latest surprise romance has arrived. Pamela Anderson , the iconic Baywatch star, and Liam Neeson , the actor known for Schindler's List and Taken, are reportedly in love; and we're not talking just on-screen, in real life, the rumored couple is taking everyone's breath away with their sweet PDA on the red carpet. The duo met while filming the new Naked Gun reboot, and their on-and-off-screen chemistry has captured attention. From on-screen chemistry to real-life romance Pamela Anderson (58) and Liam Neeson (73) first met on the set of The Naked Gun reboot, slated for release in August 2025. Sparks flew, and their on-set interactions blossomed into mutual admiration. In a 2024 interview, Neeson said, 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her,' calling her 'terrific to work with.' Anderson returned the compliment, calling Neeson 'the perfect gentleman,' expressing gratitude for his kindness and creative depth. Their warm friendship turned affectionate during promotions. At the London premiere in July 2025, Anderson kissed Neeson on the cheek while posing together, and he casually remarked, 'I feel like a couple right now!' Then, on The Today Show in New York, they were caught sharing a spontaneous kiss, which prompted the host to ask if they were a couple. When asked, Neeson responded that their chemistry was 'lovely budding,' and PEOPLE confirmed that they are 'officially dating' and enjoying each other's company. As reported, a source told PEOPLE that the pair is in the early stages of a sincere new romance, tagging along with their children to premieres and sharing dinners and laughs. However, this isn't Pamela's first brush with a high-profile romance – but certainly an unusual one. Neeson has stayed single for over a decade after the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, in 2009. He was married to Richardson from 1994 until she died in 2009. As fans swoon over their public affection, let's dive into Pamela's romantic past, her high-profile marriages, and how this unexpected romance started. Pamela's past relationships Pamela Anderson's relationship history is famously colorful and quite eventful. Tommy Lee (1995–1998): Pamela Anderson and the Mötley Crüe drummer, Tommy Lee's relationship was a whirlwind romance that led to a high-profile marriage and subsequent divorce. They tied the knot in 1995 after only knowing each other for four days, and had two sons together before divorcing in 1998. Their relationship was marked by intense media attention, including the theft and leak of a sex tape, and a domestic dispute that resulted in Lee being jailed for spousal abuse. Despite the difficulties, Anderson had famously said that her relationship with Lee was the "only time I was ever truly in love." The couple has two sons, Dylan (b. 1997) and Brandon (b. 1996). Their marriage was plagued by scandals, including the infamous sex tape leak and a violent domestic dispute that led to Lee's arrest and imprisonment. They divorced in 1998, with Anderson citing the spousal abuse incident and seeking custody of their two sons, Brandon and Dylan. While their relationship was tumultuous, they have since reunited to support their sons, particularly at public events like Brandon's fashion launch. Kid Rock (2006–2007): Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock had an on-again, off-again relationship that included a brief marriage. They first met in 2001, got engaged in 2002, but split up before marrying. They rekindled their romance in 2006 and married that same year, only to divorce a few months later. Reports suggest that their relationship was marked by frequent arguments and lifestyle differences. Anderson's involvement in the movie "Borat" is also cited as a factor in their split. Rick Salomon (2007–2008, remarried in 2014, divorced in 2015): Pamela Anderson's relationship with Rick Salomon was brief and tumultuous, marked by two marriages and annulments. They first married in October 2007, but Anderson filed for divorce just two months later. They then had their marriage annulled in March 2008, citing fraud. In January 2014, they remarried, only to divorce again in 2015. Anderson later stated that she felt Salomon made her look "20 years older." Jon Peters (reportedly married but later revealed non‑legal): Pamela Anderson's relationship with Jon Peters was brief and unconventional. While they were reported to have married in January 2020, Anderson later clarified that they were never legally married. The "marriage," which lasted only 12 days, was reportedly described by Anderson as a "bizarre theatrical lunch." Peters, a film producer, had reportedly left $10 million for Anderson in his will, a gesture she acknowledged with affection. Adil Rami (relationship 2017–2019): Pamela and Adil began dating in early 2017. They officially split in 2019. Rami reportedly gave Anderson a promise ring after winning the World Cup and later discussed proposing marriage, but Anderson declined. The couple briefly rekindled their relationship in March 2019. However, Anderson announced their final split in June 2019 via a social media post. Pamela also claimed that he was cheating on her with the mother of his children, Sidonie Biémont, per Page Six. Dan Hayhurst (2020–2022): Pamela Anderson and Dan Hayhurst's relationship was a whirlwind romance that began during the pandemic and led to a Christmas Eve wedding in 2020. They met while Hayhurst was working on Anderson's Vancouver Island property. The relationship blossomed during the pandemic lockdown, with Hayhurst helping Anderson with renovations. Anderson described their relationship as a "natural fit" and a "full circle moment." However, the marriage ended after just over a year, with a divorce filing in January 2022.

Pamela Anderson, Liam Neeson dodge dating rumors on 'Today' show: 'Are you two an item?'

"The Naked Gun" costars Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are the latest focus of Hollywood romance rumors. The Hollywood A-listers behind the beloved 1980s and '90s action franchise reboot appeared on the "Today" show with coanchor Craig Melvin, who bluntly asked the duo if they were dating. "What's the deal here?" Melvin asked on the July 29 episode, addressing "red carpet action" and a "passionate" onscreen kiss. "You're both single right now. There's clearly chemistry on display throughout this film. Are you two an item?" Neeson, 73, replied, "Craig!" as Anderson, 58, coyly quipped, "What? I don't understand the question." Neeson then told Melvin that "I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry as two actors." Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson share affectionate red carpet moment Neeson added that their approach to their chemistry was "like, 'Oh, this is nice. Let's not mold this. Let's just let it breathe,' and that's what we did." Neeson was previously married to British actress Natasha Richardson from 1994 until her death at 45 years old in 2009, while Anderson has had four husbands: Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, rap rocker Kid Rock, poker player Rick Salomon and Dan Hayhurst. Last week, as the costars posed on the red carpet at the film's London premiere, Anderson leaned up and gave Neeson a smooch on his cheek. As they took photos with one of the film's producers, she was seen clasping the Oscar nominee's hand around her left hip. On "Today," Melvin playfully told the costars that "we're watching the beginning of the breathing of a budding relationship" – as Anderson nervously laughed – and the journalist added that "America's here for it. We're here for whatever this turns into." Pamela Anderson done playing characters in her personal life. An Oscar could be next. Before the "Today" interview ended, Melvin complimented Anderson, telling the "Last Showgirl" actress that "you bring out a different side of Liam Neeson" and "we want you (both) to come back when it's official." Last year, when asked whether he was dating, Neeson told People: "No, in a word. I'm past all that." Contributing: KiMi Robinson

Ozzy Osbourne obituary: hell-raising frontman of Black Sabbath

'Never mind the dog, beware of the owner,' read the sign on the gates of Ozzy Osbourne's Los Angeles mansion. It was intended as a joke. Yet at the height of the Black Sabbath singer's notoriety as one of rock's wildest hell-raisers the warning might have been construed as deadly serious. Osbourne's much-chronicled excesses included biting off the head of a bat on stage — he said he thought it was rubber — snorting a line of ants in a drunken contest with the lead singer of Mötley Crüe and being arrested for attempting to strangle his wife Sharon at their daughter's sixth birthday party after a five-day vodka bender. Sharon forgivingly declined to press charges on the grounds that 'the person who all but choked me to death was so far gone on drink and drugs that it wasn't him'. On tour in Texas he was arrested for urinating on the Alamo. He was wearing a dress at the time, which outraged the locals even further. He had been up drinking and taking drugs all night and Sharon, who was also his manager, had hidden his clothes in an attempt to get him to sleep it off. He simply borrowed hers instead. He also turned up to a meeting over dinner with the boss of his record company in Germany so wasted that he climbed on the table, disrobed to do a naked goose-step and concluded the performance by urinating in the chief executive's wine glass. • Hard rock pioneer Ozzy Osbourne dies aged 76 His saving grace was that much of this appalling behaviour was done with an earthy sense of humour. When given a rabies jab after biting the bat, he deadpanned that the poor creature had 'better get Ozzy shots'. When animal rights activists turned up at subsequent concerts to protest, he responded by throwing raw offal at them. His addictions at different times included dependency not only on alcohol but heroin, cocaine, LSD, barbiturates, amphetamines, cough mixture and a full cabinet of prescription drugs. At one point his doctor admitted to having prescribed him 13,000 doses of 32 different drugs in one year. He was 'more Spinal Tap than Spinal Tap', a reference to the spoof movie for which Black Sabbath were the partial inspiration. 'People would emigrate to get away from me. I was f***ing crazy,' he boasted. 'I was the guy parents loved to hate. They used to say: 'Lock up your daughters, dog, bat — Ozzy Osbourne is coming to town.'' When he fell in the shower and broke his leg, he was so out of it that he walked around for several days before he realised. Not for nothing did he give his solo albums titles such as Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman. When drink and drugs had not rendered him physically incapable, he was also a serial womaniser. Life on the road was, he said, 'a bag of dope, a gram of coke and as many chicks as I could bang'. He called them 'the spoils of war' and once bedded a Japanese groupie in his hotel room, forgetting that his wife was already asleep in the bed. When he imported the habits of the road closer to home and slept with two of his children's nannies, Sharon took to hiring male carers. Somehow he survived the drink, drugs and other vices of the rock'n'roll lifestyle to become an improbable 21st-century television star when he and his dysfunctional family were the subject of a fly-on-the-wall human soap opera. One of the most successful reality television programmes ever made, The Osbournes took to the air on MTV in 2002. In the show Ozzy appeared as a damaged but harmless cartoon character as he shambled around his home in a bathrobe, trying unsuccessfully to work the TV remote, wringing his hands over the lavatory habits of his numerous cats and dogs and reeling with exasperation as he tried to keep up with his wife and wayward children. 'I love you all but you're all f***ing mad,' he yelled at them. The family were dubbed 'the Munsters of rock' and the show, which ran for three years, transformed the one-time heavy metal prince of darkness into an almost respectable, mainstream celebrity, who went on to dine with President George W Bush and performed at Buckingham Palace to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's golden jubilee. Over the years there were several spells in rehab but Ozzy invariable fell back into his old ways, until one therapist smartly turned the tables on him. 'Imagine you're the sober one and your wife is the alcoholic drug addict, f***ing all these guys. She's lying on the floor, she's pissed herself, she's f***ing wrecked the house — how do you think you'd cope?' the therapist asked. Osbourne admitted that he could not. It was a salutary lesson, reinforced when, as he approached 70, he realised that every one of his old drink and drug buddies was already dead. 'No one's come back and said, 'Hi, Oz, it's cooler on this side. Come and join us,'' he noted with uncharacteristic pragmatism. He referred to Sharon as The Controller, a term that combined her roles as manager, counsellor and a wife who was not afraid to read him the riot act. He credited her with having 'literally' saved his life and although at times he had a strange way of showing it, he appeared to love her deeply. When she was diagnosed in 2003 with colon cancer he was distraught. 'I remember holding her in my arms and thinking, God, let her get through the night,' he recalled. Once she had made a complete recovery, Ozzy reverted to type. The couple briefly separated in 2013 when she found he was doing drugs again and she kicked him out once more three years later when at the age of 67 began an affair with the celebrity hairstylist Michelle Pugh, 23 years his junior. In the end she took him back, as she had on every previous occasion. As incorrigible as ever, when asked after their reconciliation what was the secret to a long marriage, Osbourne retorted: 'Don't get caught with your mistress.' He is survived by Sharon. The pair wed in 1982 on America's Independence Day, a date he claimed to have chosen because he knew that otherwise he would never have remembered their anniversary. He is also survived by their three children. Aimee, an actress and musician, refused to participate in The Osbournes but her siblings, Kelly and Jack, became teenage celebrities as a result of the show. Both followed their father into rehab before re-emerging to become TV presenters. His first marriage was in 1971 to Thelma Riley; the pair met in a Birmingham nightclub. They had two children, Jessica and Louis, and he adopted her son Elliot from a previous relationship. However, in the 2011 documentary God Bless Ozzy Osbourne he freely admitted to having been an absentee father who could remember nothing about their childhood. He was born John Michael Osbourne in December 1948 in Aston, Birmingham, the fourth of sixth children, to Jack, a toolmaker, and Lillian (née Unitt), a factory worker. The family of eight lived cheek-by-jowl in a terraced house and Osbourne said his earliest memories were of fear. 'I've never been comfortable in my own skin. For some reason, I'm a frightened soul,' he complained. His brash public persona was a defence mechanism. School was a disaster and he suffered from undiagnosed attention deficit disorder and dyslexia. Obsessed with morbid fantasies, he dreamt about murdering his mother, burning his sister and hanging himself. He vented his frustration by shooting at his neighbour's cats with an air rifle and his first job on leaving school at 15 was in an abattoir. Music was his escape; he was entranced by the Beatles. 'I would sit for hours daydreaming — wouldn't it be great if Paul McCartney married my sister?' At the age of 17 he served six weeks in prison for robbery after his father refused to pay the fine imposed by the court. The experience behind bars scared him enough to turn him away from a life of petty crime and, given that his only accomplishment at school had been to appear in Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, he resolved to become a singer. After working his way through a number of undistinguished 1960s Birmingham rock bands he ended up in Earth, who in 1969 changed their name to Black Sabbath after the Boris Karloff horror film. One of the first heavy metal bands, they had no time for fey hippie idealism. 'We were living in Birmingham,' Ozzy recalled. 'We had no money, we never had a car, we very rarely went on holiday — and suddenly we hear: 'If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear a flower in your hair.' And we're thinking, 'This is bollocks — the only flower I'll wear is on my f***ing grave.'' Sabbath determined that the best way to make themselves different was to play louder and heavier than anyone else, helped by Osbourne's yelping vocals and the distorted sound of Tony Iommi's guitar underpinned by Bill Ward's thumping drums and the subterranean rumble of Geezer Butler's bass. The occult imagery of the band's name — reflected in album artwork and song lyrics — owed more to the hammy novels of Dennis Wheatley than any genuine connection with black magic. Nevertheless, Black Sabbath were branded as satanists, and Christian rock groups in America burnt their records. The band's breakthrough came in 1970 when the album Paranoid topped the British charts. The group released eight LPs during the Seventies, selling millions as relentlessly bludgeoning songs such as Paranoid, Iron Man and Into the Void struck a chord with disenfranchised and nihilistic teenagers who shared Osbourne's contempt for the love and peace slogans of flower power. By the mid-1970s Black Sabbath were in the grip of what Osbourne called 'rock star fever … limousines everywhere, groupies … dealers dropping by with bags of white powder'. Recording sessions consisted of 'being in the Jacuzzi all day doing cocaine and every now and then we'd get up and do a song'. • James Jackson: Goodbye Black Sabbath — you changed my life After a series of drunken fights with other band members, Osbourne was fired in 1979 and fell into a deep depression. He spent the next three months sitting in a hotel room in LA with the curtains closed as he drunk and drugged himself into oblivion. It was, he was convinced, his 'last party', and when the money ran out he planned to 'go back to Birmingham and the dole'. Enter Sharon Arden, daughter of Don, a notoriously violent music mogul with alleged mafia connections who at the time was Black Sabbath's manager. Her instructions were to broker a rapprochement between Osbourne and the band but instead she took over the management of his solo career and married him, resulting in a family feud in which father and daughter did not speak to each other for 15 years. Osbourne's solo success soon outstripped that of Black Sabbath, who soldiered on without him. Inevitably controversy followed his 1984 song Suicide Solution, which allegedly triggered a spate of teenage deaths; Osbourne was sued by three families claiming that his music was to blame for the suicide of their offspring. 'Parents have called me and said, 'When my son died of a drug overdose, your record was on the turntable.' I can't help that,' he protested with a regrettable lack of sympathy. 'These people are freaking out anyway and they need a vehicle.' When the cases were eventually dismissed, with typical poor taste Osbourne joked: 'If I wrote music for people who shot themselves after listening to my music, I wouldn't have much of a following.' He survived various health scares including a broken neck that put him a coma for eight days after he crashed a quad bike, and reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions. He announced in 2020 that he had been given a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, and played a farewell concert with Black Sabbath at Villa Park in Birmingham weeks before he died. Looking back he characterised his life of hell-raising as 'fun, but selfish fun'. 'I think everybody would love to be the wild one for a weekend,' he said. 'I guess I just took it too far. Ozzy was the guy I created for the stage, but at the end of the day I was him 24/7.' Ozzy Osbourne, musician, was born on December 3, 1948. He died after suffering from Parkinson's disease on July 22, 2025, aged 76
