Pamela Anderson, 58, Shuns New Relationships, Reflects on Past

Married five times there was a period of her life when was no stranger to making headlines for her relationship status. 

However the Baywatch star, 58, has been making a comeback in recent years, proving herself as a credible actor in latest projects The Last Showgirl and the comedic reboot The Naked Gun. 

And now Pamela has confessed she has no desire for a new relationship in her life as she joked a flirtation every once in a while is all she needs. 

Posing in a new shoot for Another Magazine, Pamela said: 'I just want to unleash the dragon. I don't need anybody in my way. I want to get it out. It happens at different times in everybody's life, and this is my time.'

She continued: 'There's that great Osho quote – "The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love." That's where I'm at right now. 

'Every once in a while I'll have a flirtation or somebody will want to have dinner or talk about the future and it's titillating. It's like, "OK, I'm good now for a whole year, thank you".' 

Pamela has been married five time - once to Tommy Lee, Kid Rock and bodyguard Dan Hayhurst, and twice to the same man, poker player Rick Salomon.

Elsewhere in the interview Pamela reflected on her Baywatch and Playboy days as she said she was 'minimised' and 'exploited'. 

'I'm not innocent here. I was complicit, because at some point, especially at the very beginning of my career and my relationships and the things that happened in my personal life, it was just exploitation and I kind of gave up. 

'I thought, "Well, this is who I am." Just being in Playboy and Baywatch and even the people around me at that time, I was being minimised. "Yeah, you little girl, this is how you do it."

'I felt almost like, OK, I deserve this. Which know I didn't, looking back, but in that moment I was like, oh yeah, I get why they're saying that.

'It took me years to shake that off because I was just going with the flow, thinking, "OK, I'm doing reality shows and I'm just trying to keep the lights on." 

'I had a divorce. I didn't get any compensation from men, I wasn't depending on anybody.'

The star appeared to have found the one when she tied the knot with Dan in 2020 in a secret ceremony held in the grounds of her Vancouver Island home. 

But despite saying at the time that the marriage was 'exactly where she needed to be', the union lasted just 13 months until they parted ways in 2022. 

Later in her tell-all memoir she candidly revealed that she has only ever been in love with one man: Tommy Lee, with whom she shares sons Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 28. 

Last year she sparked romance rumours with her The Naked Gun co-star Liam Neeson after a source confirmed to Daily Mail in July that they had been dating 'for a while' after meeting on the set of their movie.

But in December she revealed they were no longer an item romantically, although they remain friends and he had been supportive of her projects. 

She told People: 'If you must know, Liam and I were romantically involved for a short while but only after we finished filming,' she said, indicating that during her stay at his country house she 'had my own room' and 'Our assistants both came; even family stopped by.'

Their escapades during their 'romantic lost week' included 'dinner at a tiny French restaurant where he introduced me as the "future Mrs. Neeson."'

She helped him garden, tending 'to a rosebush overgrown with mint,' and at one point a bathrobe-clad Neeson had to chase a bear off from his breakfast window.

After their weeklong sojourn in upstate New York, they 'went our separate ways to work on other films' but reunited for the media rounds for The Naked Gun.

Their dating rumors went into overdrive when they were seen gazing into each other's eyes, obviously besotted, at the movie's premiere in New York.

When the film opened in London, Pamela was seen cuddling up to Liam and planting a kiss on his cheek, and while plugging the movie on Watch What Happens Live, she applied lip balm to him on camera, pouring fuel on the speculation.

Speaking about the publicity whirlwind around their relationship that they were 'having fun,' with an equation 'a bit like a Nancy Meyers film.'

However she shrugged off the claims that they were engaged in a 'showmance,' saying: 'I always was laughing when people thought: "Oh, that’s a publicity stunt." I’m like, "A publicity stunt? This is real. We have real feelings."'

But brief blaze of romance cooled into a platonic friendship, and she has said: 'I adore Liam, but we are better friends, in full honesty.'

She added: 'He is such a supporter of this new trajectory in my career and kindly tells me he is very proud of me. I’m sure we will always be in each other’s lives.'
