Pamela Anderson breaks silence on Liam Neeson’s romance: if you must know
Pamela Anderson is finally ready to open up about her rumored romance with Liam Neeson.
The “Naked Gun” (2025) co-stars fueled strong speculation over the summer about a possible couple after sharing a friendly kiss on the red carpet at their film’s London premiere before Anderson actually swooned over Neeson’s charm to The New York Times.
The former supermodel is now sharing what really happened at that time and what doesn’t happen anymore.
“If you must know, Liam and I were romantically involved for a short time, but only after we finished filming,” she told People in an excerpt published Tuesday from an upcoming cover story, adding that they spent an “intimate week” together at their home in upstate New York.
“I had my own room,” Anderson said. “Both of our assistants came; even family stopped by.”
She recalled having dinner “in a little French restaurant” one night when Neeson introduced her as the “future Mrs. Neeson.” She also recalled tending a rose bush in her garden and saying, “I was very happy to help and he appreciated it.”
The “Baywatch” alum described the moment as his “romantic lost week,” during which Neeson apparently chased away a bear while wearing only a bathrobe. Anderson said they eventually went “separate ways,” however, to attend to disparate acting projects.
The public seemed truly enamored with the apparent duo during the release of their “Naked Gun” reboot, as each public flirtation fueled speculation about a possible long-term relationship, or a temporary marketing stunt. Anderson was well aware of the speech.
“We were having fun,” he said, comparing their chemistry to that of a couple in a Nancy Meyers romantic comedy. “I always laughed when people thought, ‘Oh, that’s a publicity stunt.’ I’m like, ‘A publicity stunt? This is real. We have real feelings.'”

Even Neeson’s former sister-in-law publicly supported the couple on social media, and Neeson said during an interview that the proudest moment of his career was working with Anderson.
The Oscar winner also said in October that he was “madly in love” with his “fantastic” co-star.
While fans might have wanted more, it seems like Anderson and Neeson called it quits after their brief fling. He suggested this might be for the best, telling People that they are “better friends” than partners, but he left a caveat that’s sure to intrigue skeptics.
Anderson told the outlet, “I’m sure we’ll always be in each other’s lives.”
