Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, who recently starred in the movie "The Naked Gun," are now rumored to be dating. According to People Magazine, the rumored couple was seen attending the red carpet appearance for their much-anticipated movie, accompanied by their children from their previous relationships. The news about their relationship was confirmed by a source close to the couple, who said in an interview with the outlet that both of them are "smitten" with each other:

"It's a budding romance in the early stages. It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other."

"The Naked Gun," which premieres tomorrow on 1 August, stars Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., while Anderson plays the role of Beth Davenport. This movie is a direct sequel to the 1994 movie "Naked Gun 331/3: The Final," which starred Leslie Nielsen and Priscilla Presley in lead roles.

More about Liam Neeson and his wife, Natasha Richardson's relationship, as the actor is now rumored to be in a relationship with co-star, Pamela Anderson

Liam Neeson was previously married to actress Natasha Richardson. The couple tied the knot in 1994. They were together for fifteen years until her sudden death from a skiing accident in 2009. The pair had previously met in 1993 while starring opposite each other in the Broadway production of "Anna Christie."

The couple shared two children, Daniel and Micháel, whom Neesan has raised as a single parent following his wife's death. According to People Magazine, Richardson passed away after sustaining an injury to her head while skiing in Mont Tremblant. In a 2014 interview, Neeson opened up about how he coped with her sudden death, adding that he immersed himself in work following her death. He said,

"I'm not good without work. I just don’t – I just don’t wallow too much. You know? And I just didn’t want to – especially for my boys – seem to be wallowing in sadness or depression.”

Years later, in 2024, following his wife's death, Neeson said in an interview with People Magazine that he was no longer looking forward to dating, saying he was "past that."

"No, in a word. I’m past all that.”

But, following last year's statement, Liam Neeson, who is now rumored to be in a relationship with Pamela Anderson, spoke about what it was like working with the Golden Globe-nominated actress. He said:

"With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film.”

On the other hand, Pamela Anderson also had words of praise for Liam Neeson, calling him "the perfect gentleman." She said:

"He brings out the best in you… with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.”

Although the rumors of their alleged relationship are circulating online, neither Liam Neeson nor Pamela Anderson has confirmed the rumors.
