Liam Neeson’s Romance with Pamela Anderson Gets Quiet Nod from Late Wife Natasha Richardson’s Sister
Liam Neeson’s budding relationship with Pamela Anderson is making waves — and not just among fans. The late Natasha Richardson’s family appears to be embracing the Taken star’s new chapter, with her sister Joely Richardson quietly showing her support in a subtle but heartfelt way.
On Friday, Anderson, 58, shared a playful series of behind-the-scenes photos with Neeson, 73, from their time promoting their upcoming film The Naked Gun. One shot showed Neeson cheekily pouring popcorn on Anderson’s head while she laughed. Another captured him crouching to take her photo as she lay smiling on the ground.
Among the sea of comments from fans, one caught everyone’s attention: Joely Richardson, Natasha’s younger sister, seemed to leave a supportive note on the post. Though the comment was brief, it didn’t go unnoticed, and followers quickly praised her for being “classy and loving” toward her former brother-in-law.
“Very sweet of you,” one fan wrote, while another added, “Classy and loving as always.”
From Heartbreak to Healing
Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson were married for 15 years before her tragic death in 2009. The Parent Trap actress died at 45 after suffering a brain injury in a skiing accident in Canada. Together, they had two sons: Micheál, now 30, and Daniel, 28.
Following her death, Neeson rarely spoke publicly about love or dating. For years, he seemed to focus solely on his family and work, often avoiding personal questions about relationships.
But that changed last year.
Falling for Pamela on Set
In October 2024, Neeson revealed that he fell “madly in love” with Pamela Anderson while working together on The Naked Gun. Their on-set chemistry quickly sparked dating rumors, which only intensified when the two appeared cozy at recent film premieres.
At the London premiere in July, Anderson was seen giving Neeson a gentle kiss on the cheek — a sweet, unscripted moment that had fans buzzing.
While some speculated that their romance was simply a PR stunt to drum up interest in the movie, a source close to the stars told Page Six otherwise.
“It’s very sincere how they feel. That is the truth,” the insider said. “They’re not going to show up on the red carpet and be adorable just to be fake. That’s not either of them.”
Family’s Support Speaks Volumes
Joely Richardson’s quiet gesture on social media seems to reflect warmth toward Neeson’s new relationship. Though it may not be a full-blown endorsement, it was enough to move fans and observers who know how much Neeson adored Natasha.
For many, it was reassuring to see a family member showing kindness as the actor finds joy again, 15 years after unimaginable loss.
With The Naked Gun set to hit theaters soon and the couple continuing to charm on and off the red carpet, it looks like Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson are entering a surprising — yet genuine — new chapter together.
