As you’re likely well aware, Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are newly dating and it’s completely adorable. Especially since Pamela has been through a lot when it comes to relationships. For those of you who haven’t a) read her memoir, b) watched her Netflix doc, or c) binge-watched Pam & Tommy, here’s a look at Pamela’s complete (verified—no rumors here) dating history.
Scott Baio: 1990 to 1993
Pamela and Scott dated for about three years in the early 90s, and even almost got engaged. Mostly, Scott got caught up in a romantic moment. As he put it in 2007, “Don’t ever take a shower with a woman, because you’ll probably end up proposing to her. There was a lot of soap, and I was making a speech, but my entire being was going, ‘What are you doing? Shut up!’ But I didn’t stop.”
Bret Michaels: 1993 to 1994
Pamela and the Poison frontman dated for a minute, and allegedly split due to Bret’s, shall we say, disinterest in monogamy.
Kelly Slater: ~1994 to 1995
Professional surfer Kelly Slater met Pamela on set of Baywatch and had a somewhat casual romance. She gushed about him in her Netflix doc, saying “He was such a sweetheart to me and so good to me. 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.”
Tommy Lee: 1994 to 1998
Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson met at a club on New Year’s Eve. Here’s what Tommy had to say about the moment in his memoir, Tommyland, “I went out with some of my best bros to a club…Suddenly, a waitress came over and said, ‘Tommy, here’s a shot of Goldschläger. It’s for you, from Pamela Anderson.’ I pushed my way into [her] booth, slid over her girlfriends’ laps and forced myself a space right next to her. Then I grabbed her face and just licked the side of it, from chin to temple.”
Wow. A move! Anyway, these two started dating in February, Tommy Lee followed Pamela to Cancun for a photoshoot, and he popped the question three days into the trip. The next day, they got married. Though technically Pamela was still dating Kelly.
“I was dating Kelly Slater at the time, and I was supposed to go see him in Florida and meet his family,” she said in her Netflix doc. “My first phone call was to him to tell him I was married. He’s like, ‘What?!’ That was horrible.'”
Pam and Tommy went on honeymoon that summer and filmed an intimate video that ended up being stolen, sold, and published without their permission. Amid the aftershocks of that trauma, Pamela welcomed the couple’s first son, Brandon, and then their second son, Dylan, in 1997.
The couple divorced in 1998 after Tommy was arrested and charged with spousal abuse, but they got back together a few times over the years.
Marcus Schenkenberg: 2000 to 2001
Pam and Swedish model Marcus Schenkenberg dated for under a year after meeting due to Marcus…saving a bird from a toilet? You know what, sure.
Kid Rock: 2001 to 2006
Pamela and Kid Rock (aka Bob Ritchie) married in 2006 after dating for five years, and broke up just a few months later—after a screening of Borat. Per Pamela’s memoir, “Lots of important industry people were there—Steven Spielberg, Rick Rubin, Laird Hamilton and his wife, Gabby Reece. I didn’t tell Bob I was in the movie, because I wanted to surprise him. I forgot about the part in the film that referenced the ‘sex tape.’ Bob stormed out, calling me a whore and worse.”
She added, “We broke up. I didn’t stay in touch with Bob.”
Rick Salomon: 2007
Pamela and Rick married in October 2007, split a few weeks later, reunited, and ended up having their marriage annulled. Your favorite circa 2025 celebrity rollercoaster relationship could never.
Rick Salomon: 2014
Pamela and Rick got back together, married in January 2014, and then broke up again that summer. “We were only married a few months, it was annulled, but we were still friends,” Pam said in her Netflix doc, per the Post. “When he got sober, and was sober for years, we decided to try it again. … It didn’t last long either.”
Julian Assange: Circa 2017
Pamela was spotted visiting Julian at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London (where he was seeking asylum) back in 2017, and wrote about their burgeoning relationship in her blog. As she put it, “My relationship with Julian—it’s no secret. He is one of my favorite people.”
Adil Rami: 2017 to 2019
Pamela dated French soccer player Adil Rami for a couple years—and apparently Adil even proposed to Pamela. They broke up after she claimed he was cheating on her (which he denied).
Jon Peters: 2020
Their vibe in the 80s!
Pam and Jon got “married” (it was never official), but said “marriage” only lasted 12 days before they split. The pair remained friends, and Pamela told Variety in 2023 “He’s great and has been a huge influence on my life. I love him to death.” Meanwhile, he added “I will always love Pamela, always in my heart. As a matter of fact, I left her $10 million in my will. And she doesn’t even know that. Nobody knows that. I’m just saying it for the first time with you. I probably shouldn’t be saying it. So that’s for her, whether she needs it or not.”
Dan Hayhurst: 2020 to 2022
Pamela fell for her builder, Dan Hayhurst, while he was renovating her house. Pamela told The Sunday Times that it “was stupid,” adding that the marriage “was worse than any of them. And I realized, ‘Oh my God, I’m caught up in this whole thing, what am I doing?’ It just struck me, this is another disaster. … I was paying for everything, cooking, cleaning for everybody. And so I just got out of it as soon as I could.”
Liam Neeson: 2025
Pam and Liam met on the set of their film The Naked Gun, and started dating during the press tour. The vibes are adorable, so please enjoy a full deep dive this way:
