“Why does there have to be a status?” Pamela Anderson plays coy about Liam Neeson romance in new interview

Pamela Anderson is keeping things open-ended when it comes to her connection with Liam Neeson.

During her August 1 appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark, the Baywatch alum was asked about the nature of her relationship with Neeson, whom she stars alongside in The Naked Gun. While Anderson didn’t offer a definitive label, her response didn’t shy away from warmth or admiration.

“I love Liam. He’s one of my favorite people. He’s incredible and he was so wonderful on the set too.”

Pamela Anderson, who appeared on the talk show with guest host Steve Patterson, went on to describe Neeson as “such a gentleman,” recalling how he would put his coat around her on set and check on her well-being.

“It was just really such a pleasure and such a joy... this delicious kind of mystery that’s been unfolding — which I really love being a part of.”

Her comments came amid rising public curiosity after the two were seen promoting the film and reportedly growing close off-screen. A source close to the film shared with People:

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

In an exclusive interview with People, an insider claimed:

“Pam and Liam really enjoy each other’s company. They’re taking things slow and it’s actually very grounded. The relationship blossomed out of a mutual appreciation for the simpler things in life.”

They added:

“They’ve bonded over their shared love of nature, classic films and a slower pace. Neither of them are chasing the spotlight and they value their privacy at this point in their life.”

While the speculation continues to swirl, neither star has offered an official statement on their relationship.

For now, The Naked Gun is playing in theaters, and fans are showing up for more than just the movie.
