Liam Neeson, a beloved actor, has found a new love. He is now dating Pamela Anderson, a star known for her own compelling story. This fresh romance has caught everyone’s eye. What’s truly special is the support it’s getting. Even close friends of Neeson’s late wife, Natasha Richardson, are cheering them on.
Andy Cohen, a well-known media personality, was a very close friend of Natasha. He shared his thoughts on this new pairing. Speaking on his Sirius XM show, Radio Andy, Cohen, 57, voiced full support. He mentioned that Natasha’s entire circle of friends feels the same way. "Natasha was a dear friend of mine," Cohen said on Wednesday, July 30. "All of us in her friend group are truly behind this, whatever it is."
Liam, 73, and Natasha had a deep connection. They married in 1994 and stayed together until her sudden death in 2009. Natasha, at just 45 years old, passed away after a tragic skiing accident. It has been 16 long years since that heartbreaking loss. Liam had not publicly dated anyone since then.
Cohen told Liam that he sees clear echoes of Natasha in Pamela, 58. He mentioned this at the movie’s premiere party. "I told him, ‘Liam, she’s an independent woman, just like Tash’," Cohen recalled. "She loves to cook, too. She has her own passions. She’s also a mother of two. It just makes sense."
Pamela has two sons, Brandon Thomas Lee, 29, and Dylan Jagger Lee, 27. She shares them with her ex-husband, Tommy Lee. Liam also has two sons from his marriage with Natasha. They are Micheál Richardson, 30, and Daniel Neeson, 28. All four children joined their famous parents on the red carpet. This was for the New York City premiere of their new film.
Cohen also spoke highly of Pamela herself. He admires her strength and resilience. She has faced many ups and downs in her own relationships over the years. "She’s a formidable person," he stated. "Especially after everything she’s gone through. She’s really managed to pick herself up and redefine who she is."
The new couple first met on the set of the Naked Gun reboot. Rumors about their romance sparked at the London premiere. Pamela gave Liam a kiss on the cheek for photographers. When asked about their relationship status, both stars were a bit coy.
Liam shared his thoughts during an appearance on the Today show on Tuesday, July 29. "I had never met Pamela before," he explained. "We met while filming. We discovered a lovely, growing chemistry between us as actors."
The news became official this Tuesday. A trusted source confirmed their relationship to Us. "Pamela and Liam are dating," the insider exclusively shared. They added that the pair "always had chemistry during filming. Their friendship naturally grew into something more."
Starting this new chapter is "new" for both Liam and Pamela. The source explained they are "learning to navigate it together." Both are quite private people. They have tried to keep their romance quiet. But the source insisted, "the spark between them is clear."
