Pamela Anderson’s Complete Dating History

Here’s what you'll learn when you read this article:

• Pamela Anderson has had many famous exes throughout her time in Hollywood, from actor Sylvester Stallone to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee.
• Anderson wrote about her romantic history in her memoir Love, Pamela, and spoke about it in her 2023 Netflix documentary.
• Anderson is now reportedly dating Liam Neeson, her co-star in The Naked Gun. People confirmed their romance in July 2025 via an anonymous source.

Pamela Anderson is one of the iconic stars of the ’90s, making the red one-piece suit from Baywatch the most famous beachwear to ever appear on television. While she stole hearts on the show alongside David Hasselhoff, Anderson was also the queen of stealing hearts offscreen. The star has a storied history when it comes to her love life, which she has detailed in full in both her memoir, Love, Pamela, and the Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story.

Although Anderson has been quite open about her romantic life, not all of those stories are well-documented—for example, her brief fling with Superman’s Dean Cain. The latter only offered details of the relationship earlier this month.

What is very obvious, however, is that most people who have dated Anderson would jump at another chance if she offers one.

Here is her complete dating history so far, up to her current partner, Liam Neeson.

Producer Jon Peters met Anderson when he visited the Playboy mansion sometime in the mid-1980s. In 2017, he told The Hollywood Reporter: “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. We ended up living together.”

Peters helped Anderson develop her career and proposed to her, but she said no because of their 22-year age gap. However, they reconnected in 2019 and did get married in Malibu in January 2020.

“Pamela has never seen her full potential as an artist. She has yet to shine in a real way. There is much more to her than meets the eye, or I wouldn’t love her so much,” Peters told The Hollywood Reporter after the ceremony. “There are beautiful girls everywhere. I could have my pick, but—for 35 years—I’ve only wanted Pamela. She makes me wild—in a good way. She inspires me. I protect her and treat her the way she deserves to be treated.”

But about two weeks later, they made a statement about stepping back to “re-evaluate” their marriage.

“I have been moved by the warm reception to Jon and my union,” Anderson told THR. “We would be very grateful for your support as we take some time apart to re-evaluate what we want from life and from one another. 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. Thank you for respecting our privacy.”

She eventually shared on social media that they were “never legally married,” adding that Peters is a “lifelong family friend. No hard feelings—no Marriage, no Divorce... just a bizarre theatrical lunch.”

Anderson was never confirmed to be dating actor Sylvester Stallone, though they were seen out together on various occasions. In her Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story, she said that Stallone offered her “a condo and a Porsche to be his ‘No. 1 girl.’”

“And I was like, ‘Does that mean there’s No. 2? Uh-uh,’” she joked. “He goes, ‘That’s the best offer you’re gonna get, honey. You’re in Hollywood now.’ [But] I wanted to be in love. I didn’t want anything less than that.”

Stallone’s rep responded with a statement reading, “The statement from Pamela Anderson attributed to my client is false and fabricated. Mr. Stallone confirms that he never made any portion of that statement.”

Anderson met Charles in Charge star Scott Baio in the late ’80s at a party, and they started dating. She ended up getting a guest spot on the show, which helped start her career. She and Baio dated for three years, and he claimed he proposed to her while they were taking a shower together.

They broke up in 1993, and Anderson said it was just because they saw the world too differently. “Scott’s a great guy, ” she explained. “But he’s very practical and logical. I live day by day, and he’s not spontaneous at all.”

Anderson reportedly dated her Baywatch co-star David Charvet for two years after she split from Baio, but they broke up because of the strain living and working together caused.

Anderson dated Australian World Surf League champion Kelly Slater said in her documentary that he was her original “big love,” though their relationship was always on-and-off.

“He was such a sweetheart to me and so good to me,” she said. “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 ended up spontaneously marrying Tommy Lee in 1995, she and Slater were still technically together. “He’s like, ‘What?!’” Anderson remembered. “That was horrible.”

Anderson’s most famous relationship was with Mötley Crüe rock star Tommy Lee. In 1995, they famously eloped in Mexico after dating for less than a week. Anderson wore a white bikini to the beachside ceremony. Witness and local club manager Marcos Corminas said at the time, “I don’t know if they were in love with each other, but they really liked each other a lot and were having a lot of fun.”

They were married for three years, during which Lee was jailed for six months for domestic abuse. A sex tape featuring the pair was stolen and leaked. Lee has also been accused of giving Anderson Hepatitis C from a shared needle during a joint tattoo appointment.

Anderson and her first husband went on to have two children, Brandon Thomas Lee and Dylan Jagger Lee. The former couple divorced in 1998.

Despite the tumultuous and at times violent nature of their relationship, Anderson wrote in her 2023 memoir Love, Pamela, “My relationship with Tommy may have been the only time I was ever truly in love.”

In 2008, Anderson and Lee tried again. Lee shared in an interview with 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.”

When or how it ended again was never reported, but Anderson told People in 2015 that they remain close. “We’re good friends; we’re getting better at co-parenting our kids,” she said. “He’s such a supporter of mine, and I’m really happy we’re on such great terms. There’s a connection there that will always be.”

Their tumultuous relationship became the subject of Hulu’s 2022 Emmy-nominated miniseries Pam & Tommy, starring Lily James as Anderson and Sebastian Stan as Lee.

After her first breakup with Lee, Anderson briefly dated Swedish Calvin Klein model Marcus Schenkenberg. They got engaged but broke up 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 said at the time.

It was rumored that she had been seen romantically again with Jon Peters, but she denied he had anything to do with the breakup:

“There is no one else involved and certainly not Jon. That was all nonsense. Marcus and I had both been working hard, and it was simply impossible for us to be together. Jon is an old friend... The fact is it’s difficult to have a relationship with any man because I’m very busy. 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. In a lot of ways he was much younger than me, even though he was 32! He didn’t take work seriously and liked to enjoy life as much as possible. I’m much more work-oriented.”

In early 2001, Anderson started dating musician Kid Rock. They got engaged in 2002 but split up a year after that. In 2006, they met up again during a party on a friend’s yacht in St. Tropez and started dating once more.

Within a month, they were married, but by November 2006, Anderson filed for divorce. She wrote a simple message on her blog, saying, “11/27/2006 Divorce. Yes, it’s true. Unfortunately impossible.”

Anderson married her longtime friend Rick Salomon in October 2007 in Las Vegas. “They are head over heels in love,” a source said at the time.

A few months later, Anderson filed for divorce. Ultimately, their marriage was annulled in March 2008.

Come 2013, the former spouses reconciled. Things were going so well they got married for a second time in January 2014. “We’re very happy,” the actor told E! News at the time. “Our families are very happy, and that’s all that matters.”

Later on, they hit a rough patch and, despite briefly reconnecting, the couple couldn’t resolve their issues. Anderson filed for divorce in 2015.

Pamela Anderson brought food to the Ecuadorian Embassy in London in 2016 to support Julian Assange.

In 2016, Anderson started visiting WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy, where he was claiming political asylum. Anderson never explicitly stated they were dating, but she posted about him on her blog and suggested it could be more.

“Mr Assange and I, have become very dear friends over time. That’s all I’m really comfortable saying,” she said. “Of course this is not an ideal situation—it’s not indicative of any rational relationship. I wouldn’t know what that is anyway. Faith has been lost in modern romance.”

Pamela Anderson and Adil Rami attend a fashion show in Monaco in 2019.

Anderson reportedly began dating former French soccer player Adil Rami in 2017. Their relationship gained publicity the following year when Anderson attended Rami’s matches at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which France’s national team won.

However, the pair separated by 2019, and Anderson accused Rami of “living a double life” in an emotional Instagram post. “The last (more than) 2 years of my life have been a big lie. I was scammed, led to believe … we were in big love,” she wrote.

“But this is worse. He lied to all. How is it possible to control 2 women’s hearts and minds like this—I’m sure there were others. He is the monster,” Anderson added.

Rami denied the accusations in a response and said he was preserving a relationship with former partner Sidonie Biémont, with whom he had two children.

In late 2020, a source told People that Anderson was dating her security guard, Dan Hayhurst, and that they had “been together for a while.”

“She’s very happy,” said the source. “And they’ve been together for the entire pandemic. She’s super happy, and he’s been helping her fix up her home on Vancouver Island.”

Anderson revealed she married Hayhurst in January 2021, in an interview with The Daily Mail. “I’m exactly where I need to be—in the arms of a man who truly loves me,” Anderson said of the marriage, sharing the ceremony took place on “the property I bought from my grandparents 25 years ago.” She continued, “This is where my parents were married, and they are still together. I feel like I’ve come full circle.”

They broke up in January 2022 and divorced that year.

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson share a kiss at a premiere event for their 2025 movie The Naked Gun.

Anderson and actor Liam Neeson, who play fictional love interests in The Naked Gun, fueled dating rumors during their appearance at the movie’s British premiere on July 22, 2025. The two co-stars walked the red carpet together, with Anderson kissing Neeson on the cheek as they posed for photos. Their affectionate red carpet appearance came after months of questions about their offscreen relationship.

Neeson first raised eyebrows in October 2024 when he told People: “With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her. She’s just terrific to work with. I can’t compliment her enough, I’ll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She’s funny and so easy to work with. She’s going to be terrific in the film.”

In a July 2025 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Anderson offered a measured response to the speculation. “I think I have a friend forever in Liam,” she said. “And we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he’s a good guy.”

She called him “a true artist,” adding, “He comes from theater and Schindler’s List and has done over a hundred films. And I did things inside out and backwards, came from television, and then my personal life kind of overshadowed my professional life. It is funny: We all come to this place in different ways, but to be able to share this experience with him is very meaningful and such an honor.”

On July 29, an anonymous source told People that Anderson and Neeson really did find love offscreen. “It’s a budding romance in the early stages,” the source said. “It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other... [They’re] enjoying each other’s company.” Neither actor’s representatives responded to People’s request for a comment.
