Neeson previously made headlines for his brief romance with Pamela Anderson on *The Naked Gun** *set. The two sparked romance rumors while promoting the movie last year, which led fans to question if they were a couple. Some even speculated that it was a publicity stunt, which Anderson vehemently denied.

“I do not and will never feed into PR stunts,” the actress said during a September 2025 appearance at the 51st Deauville American Film Festival in France. “That would be a death sentence. I’m authentically driven... I appreciate your good wishes. There are no silly games being played. I’m sincere.”

Anderson confirmed to PEOPLE in December that she and Neeson were a couple at one point, but things fizzled out. (Neeson was previously married to Natasha Richardson, from 1994 until her death in 2009.)

“If you must know, Liam and I were romantically involved for a short while, but only after we finished filming,” she shared during the cover story published late last year. Anderson told PEOPLE at the time that she and Neeson had shared an “intimate week” together, but she had her own room during the getaway, which took place at his New York home.

“Our assistants both came; even family stopped by,” Anderson added, recalling one romantic evening that they shared together. Per Anderson, they “went to dinner at a tiny French restaurant where he introduced me as the ‘future Mrs. Neeson.’” Anderson even used her knowledge of gardening to tend to a “rosebush overgrown with mint” at his home. “I was happy to help, and he appreciated,” she added. But when the “romantic lost week” ended, they agreed to part ways amicably.
