Love Strikes Again: Liam Neeson’s Unexpected Romance Blooms with Pamela Anderson
In a delicious twist that has sent Hollywood into a complete tizzy, Liam Neeson—the man who once declared himself categorically “done” with romance—has found himself completely smitten with none other than Pamela Anderson. And darling, we are absolutely living for this unexpected pairing that’s giving us all the butterflies.
Just nine months after the 73-year-old Oscar nominee told the world he was “past all that” when it came to dating, sources close to their latest film The Naked Gun reveal that these two icons are indeed “in the early stages” of what appears to be a genuinely enchanting romance. The chemistry? Absolutely undeniable.
Our hearts are practically melting watching their global press tour unfold like a real-life romantic comedy. During their recent Today Show appearance, the pair staged an adorable “caught making out” moment that had viewers swooning coast to coast. And that tender cheek kiss Anderson planted on Neeson during the London premiere? Pure magic, darling.
What makes this love story particularly poignant is Neeson’s romantic history. The Taken star was devotedly married to the luminous Natasha Richardson from 1994 until her tragic passing in 2009 at just 45. After Richardson’s death, Neeson briefly dated PR executive Freya St. Johnston for two years before seemingly closing the door on love entirely. Before Richardson, he’d been linked to some of Hollywood’s most captivating women—Barbra Streisand, Brooke Shields, and Helen Mirren among them.
But Anderson, 58, has clearly reignited something special in the Irish actor’s heart. “With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her,” Neeson gushed in his 2024 PEOPLE cover story, his admiration absolutely radiating from every word. “She’s just terrific to work with. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She’s funny and so easy to work with.”
The former Baywatch sensation—who’s been earning critical acclaim for her powerhouse performance in The Last Showgirl—returns the sentiment beautifully, calling Neeson “the perfect gentleman” who “brings out the best in you with respect, kindness and depth of experience.”
Their romance appears to have blossomed organically during filming, though Anderson cheekily maintained they kept things “professionally romantic” on set through group dinners and carefully chaperoned encounters. At the recent New York premiere, both stars proudly posed with their children—Anderson’s sons Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27, with Tommy Lee, alongside Neeson’s boys Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28, with Richardson—painting the picture of two families potentially blending beautifully.
