Why Pamela Anderson's Reported Romance With Liam Neeson Is Exactly What She Needs

For weeks, rumors swirled that Pamela Anderson may have found the great love of her life, and it's a serious hottie: Liam Neeson. Now, as of July 29, an anonymous source confirmed to People that the Hollywood pair are in the early stage of dating, leaving fans absolutely thrilled. The "Taken" actor might seem like a surprising match for his "The Naked Gun" co-star. After all, Anderson was previously married to bad boy Tommy Lee and the iconoclastic Kid Rock. But the fact that Neeson is so different from Anderson's former partners might be exactly why he's the right man for her. After all, mixing up your type can be a great way to get back into dating after divorce.

To pinpoint why Neeson could be Anderson's perfect match, Women spoke exclusively with Nicole Moore, a celebrity love coach and body language expert. "Although Pamela and Liam have had differing Hollywood experiences, with Pamela's being more paparazzi heavy and tumultuous, both actors seem to be in a similar place now, where they show up for appearances when needed but also love living their quiet lives away from the cameras," Moore says. Anderson has embraced a more peaceful life in recent years, enjoying cooking and gardening at her home in Canada. 

Neeson's family-oriented, private lifestyle might be well-suited to Anderson in this new era of her life — though we're sure it doesn't hurt that Anderson is still gorgeous going makeup free. Moore says it's a green flag that Neeson appears to be close with his children. "Both Pamela and Liam brought their respective sons to their movie premiere, so it's clear that family is a priority for both of them," says Moore. "Liam likely admires the close relationship Pamela has with her sons."

Pamela Anderson is the first to admit she's a hopeless romantic. "I want to be the one who catches someone's glance across the way on the subway, or my dog's leashes get tangled up with someone in Central Park, and we fall in love," she admitted in a 2023 interview with Bustle. "I like this really romantic, meant-to-be stuff." 

When it comes to old-fashioned romance, there are signs Liam Neeson might be the right man for the job, Nicole Moore exclusively tells Women. "Pamela has gone through her fair share of tumultuous relationships, and being with a widower who was proven to be committed to his wife until her passing might be the stability she needs right now," Moore explains. "Pamela might be craving a partner she can securely spend the rest of her life with, rather than wanting flings at her age."

Despite her fame, Anderson has endured her fair share of difficult life moments, including divorce, sexual assault, and intense public shaming. In recent years, she's seen major success despite Hollywood trying to tear her down, but she deserves a happy ending in her personal life too — especially with someone who won't objectify her. That's why it bodes well that Neeson has never seen Anderson on "Baywatch." "The fact that Liam, presumably, wasn't lusting after her 'Baywatch' character shows he's seeing her in the right lens," says Moore. "It's likely that Liam values Pamela for so much more than her body and that he respects her highly."
