Pamela Anderson, 58, Reportedly Dating Actor Who Is 'Madly in Love with Her' – Details

A new romance may be blossoming in Hollywood, with Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson said to be enjoying each other's company as their relationship quietly takes shape.

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson developed a mutual admiration while filming "The Naked Gun" earlier this year, and the pair are now reportedly dating.

A source exclusively told People that their budding romance is in its early stages but added, "It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other."

Neeson, 73, and Anderson, 58, have been spending time together as they prepare for the release of their new comedy movie, which hits theaters on Friday, August 1, 2025.

A Change of Heart for Neeson

Neeson previously admitted that he was done dating following the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, in 2009. However, it seems Anderson changed his mind.

In October 2024, Neeson told a journalist who asked if he'd been dating, "No, in a word. I'm past all that."

Neeson and Richardson were married from 1994 until her death at age 45. Over a year after Richardson passed away, Neeson dated U.K.-based publicist Freya St. Johnston, but their relationship lasted only two years.

Now, it seems Neeson has found the exception to his earlier statement as he and Anderson continue to enjoy one another's company.

Neeson and Anderson's Budding Chemistry

When the pair appeared on "TODAY" to promote their movie, Craig Melvin asked them, "What's the deal here?" He was referring to both Neeson and Anderson being single — and the clear chemistry they share on-screen.

"What?" replied Anderson trying to dodge the question. "I don't understand the question."

It was Neeson who decided to reply, saying he and Anderson had not met prior to filming their movie. It was there that they discovered they had a "lovely, budding chemistry."

Anderson quickly agreed. "It's like, 'Oh, this is nice. Let's not mold this. Let's just let it breathe,'" the "Taken" actor continued. "And that's what we did."

The subtle yet telling response got Melvin excited. "We're watching the beginning of the breathing of a budding relationship," he said. "America's here for it, we're here for whatever this turns into," he added.

Fans React Positively

It's true what Melvin said — America seems to be delighted by Neeson and Anderson's apparent romance. "They are clearly smitten with each other. Two famous people from totally different backgrounds. Beautiful couple. Hope that love lasts. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ [sic]" one fan gushed.

"Yay! It is time for him to move on and for her to be with a real man. I wish them well! May they survive Hollywood!" another supporter echoed. "Somehow already it seems like this couple is going to last, [sic]" a third person wrote.

The sentiment online has been largely positive, with many fans expressing their happiness over the budding romance. From comments hoping their relationship will endure to others celebrating that they both deserve happiness, fans couldn't be more pleased.

Still, some couldn't help but remember Neeson's late wife. "They’re cute but I always loved Natasha Richardson," one netizen commented.

From On-Screen Chemistry to a Budding Romance

Neeson and Anderson have been promoting their movie in full-swing. During one cover interview with People, the 73-year-old actor couldn't help but gush about his co-star, saying:

"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."

The "Taken" star also praised Anderson's professionalism, "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 the reboot, Neeson stars as Frank Drebin Jr., presumably the son of Leslie Nielsen's iconic character, Frank Drebin. Anderson plays a "femme fatale" opposite him.

While neither Anderson nor Neeson have confirmed their relationship, their actions have spoken for themselves. They've packed on the PDA in several of their movie premieres, making it clear that they might be more than just co-stars.

Anderson and Neeson's unexpected display of affection at the U.K. premiere of "The Naked Gun" reboot on July 21, 2025, has sparked a whirlwind of online reaction, with many fans convinced romance may be in the air.

The actors were photographed together at the event, where they posed closely on the red carpet at the Cineworld Leicester Square. Anderson looked effortlessly elegant in a strapless, deep purple gown with a flowing, floor-length skirt. Her elegant look is completed with voluminous blonde waves and sparkling drop earrings, exuding timeless Hollywood glamour.

Neeson kept things classic in a gray corduroy-style suit paired with a casual black crewneck shirt and black shoes. The buzz began shortly after images surfaced showing the pair smiling warmly, with Neeson's hand resting on Anderson's back and Anderson leaning in to kiss him on the cheek.

While neither star has addressed the moment publicly, social media quickly erupted with speculation."They already look like a happily married couple," one fan commented on Extra's Facebook post. Another remarked, "She looks like his late wife!" a reference to Natasha Richardson, Neeson's late spouse.

"I'm glad liam [sic] has moved on and finally found love again," another supporter added. On MTV UK's Facebook post, fans echoed the excitement. "They have undeniable chemistry," one fan wrote. "She looks smitten," another said. A third gushed, "I think they would be perfect together, the way he looks at her and the little peck on the cheek how sweet [sic]."

On Instagram, fans continued the romantic speculation. "Pamela needs a good love story at this time in her life," read one comment. A final comment read, "She looks so giggity, it's kinda cute ❤️"

Despite his statement that he's no longer looking to date, his affectionate red carpet moment with Anderson has left fans buzzing with hope. The premiere may have been for a comedy reboot, but to many, it looked like the start, or at least the hint, of a new chapter.
