It all started innocently enough — just another movie promotion. But when The Naked Gun hit the press circuit, the internet lit up. Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson were suddenly everywhere — in slow-motion TikToks, sweet montages, and fan edits set to love songs. One moment caught everyone off guard: at the London premiere on July 22, Pamela kissed Liam gently on the cheek. Days later, at a German red carpet, he lovingly helped her untangle herself from party streamers. The world didn’t just notice — it cheered.
👉 Now, their love story has been revealed — and it’s far more real than fans ever imagined.
According to a source close to Anderson, the 73-year-old Taken star and the 58-year-old Baywatch icon are officially dating.
“Pamela and Liam are dating,” the source confirms. “Their chemistry on set turned into something deeper. It just… happened naturally.”
The pair even played coy during their July 29 appearance on the Today show, faking a make-out moment for laughs. When asked directly by host Craig Melvin, Neeson teased, “America’s here for it, [and] we’re here for whatever this turns into.” The insider added: “It’s still early, and they’re figuring it out — together.”
🎬 The sparks first flew in spring 2024 on the Atlanta set of The Naked Gun reboot.
“There was a buzz — the crew could feel it,” says the source. “Liam was clearly smitten from day one and told Pamela as much.”
“I’m madly in love with her,” he admitted to People. “She’s just terrific to work with.”
Anderson echoed the feeling in a May interview, calling their chemistry “undeniable from the start.”
“We connected over books, laughter… I soaked him in like a sponge,” she said.
Their friendship grew off-camera too. Pamela hosted intimate dinners at home — pairing her and Liam’s assistants to keep things “professionally romantic.” She even baked him sourdough bread and muffins, which Liam raved about in an interview.
While they tried to keep things platonic during filming, something shifted after the cameras stopped rolling.
“They started seeing more of each other privately, meeting each other’s kids, having dinners,” the source explains. “That’s when they realized — this was something real.”
It’s not the Hollywood pairing fans expected — but it’s one that makes sense.
He’s a quietly introspective Irish actor with over 100 films and an Oscar nod. She’s a bold, bombshell pop culture icon with a past filled with headlines. And yet, their worlds click.
They’re both parents to grown sons. Liam lives a low-key life in New York’s Hudson Valley. Pamela returned to her roots in Vancouver Island, Canada. Both know fame — and heartbreak — all too well.
“They’re humble. They understand each other,” says the insider.
And they’ve both endured unimaginable loss. Liam tragically lost his wife Natasha Richardson in 2009. Pamela, meanwhile, has weathered five marriages and public heartbreak.
In late 2024, Neeson told People he was done with love.
“I’m past all that,” he said.
But meeting Pamela changed things.
“She’s brought light back into his life,” says the insider. “They really balance each other. Liam loves her fire. Pamela adores his humor and kindness. It just… works.”
Even their inner circle — including Natasha’s close friend Andy Cohen — approves.
“This just works,” Cohen said during his SiriusXM show, calling Pamela “formidable” and praising her growth.
Their children are fully supportive, too. The actors posed with their sons at the July 28 NYC premiere, and Neeson’s son Danny gave a smiling nod to the romance during a live TV appearance.
“The vibe between everyone has been incredibly warm and welcoming,” says the source. “Everyone’s rooting for them.”
💬 The romance the internet didn’t see coming — but now can’t stop talking about. Could this be Hollywood’s next great love story?
