Pamela Anderson, 57, recently shared insights into her current relationship with ex-husband Tommy Lee, 62, nearly three decades after their divorce.
Anderson and Lee share a history that is both iconic and turbulent. The two married in 1995 after knowing each other for just four days, capturing widespread attention.

During their three-year marriage, they became one of the most talked-about celebrity couples, but their relationship faced significant challenges, including the infamous unauthorized release of a private tape.
Despite their divorce in 1998, the pair share two sons, Brandon and Dylan, and their family has remained a focal point of their connection.
“There was Tommy and then there was nobody else,” Anderson recalled to People in 2015 about what it was like to date Lee. “We had a wild and crazy beginning that was too much for both of us.

“I had beautiful children with him. My kids are grateful to be born out of true love. Everything else I was trying to piece together.”
During an interview on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show, Anderson revealed that their communication has diminished: “We used to talk a lot more…not recently, unfortunately. But I wish we did have a better rapport right now.”
With their youngest son, Dylan, now engaged, Anderson expressed hope for improved relations, especially with the prospect of becoming grandparents: “My youngest son is engaged and we’re going to have grandkids together!” She remains optimistic, telling Cohen, “It’ll be okay eventually. It’s just kind of a moment right now.”

Reflecting on her sons’ achievements, Anderson praised Brandon as “such an amazing person…he’s the movie star! He loves business. He’s just a deal maker and he loves it.”
Dylan, she noted, is “a musician and also an entrepreneur.” She credits her children with having a profound impact on her life, stating in her memoir, Love, Pamela, “They saved me.”
Despite past challenges, including the unauthorized release of a private tape during their marriage, Anderson and Lee have maintained a complex relationship over the years. Lee is currently married to social media personality Brittany Furlan, whom he wed in 2019.
As Anderson anticipates the arrival of grandchildren, she hopes for a renewed connection with Lee, focusing on family unity in the years ahead.
As for Anderson’s other exes, film producer Jon Peters revealed the huge sum he has left the actress in his will after their “12-day marriage.”
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter in 2020, Pamela Anderson and Jon Peters had a private ceremony in Malibu after first dating more than 30 years ago.
Despite their short-lived “marriage”, which Anderson later clarified was more of a symbolic union as opposed to a legal one, Peters is set to leave a huge amount to the Baywatch icon in his will.
Speaking to Variety in January 2023, the 57-year-old actress shared warm sentiments about Peters, stating: “He’s great and has been a huge influence on my life. I love him to death.”
Peters, 79, echoed this affection, revealing his generous financial gesture for Anderson — a fact previously unknown to her.
“I will always love Pamela, always in my heart. As a matter of fact, I left her $10 million in my will. And she doesn’t even know that. Nobody knows that. I’m just saying it for the first time with you,” Peters confided to the interviewer.
