Amid speculation surrounding Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson’s budding relationship during their The Naked Gun promotional tour, one significant figure has expressed clear support: Liam’s son, Daniel Neeson. The 28-year-old, born to Liam Neeson and his late wife Natasha Richardson, has engaged with the couple’s growing public presence, signaling approval for this romantic possibility.
During a Watch What Happens Live appearance on August 3, host Andy Cohen directly acknowledged the buzz without pressing for details. He told Liam,
“As a very old friend of yours, all of your friends are very much stanning this relationship, as the kids say.”
—Andy Cohen. The camera then cut to Daniel Neeson in the audience, who responded with a smiling laugh, illustrating his subtle endorsement.
Daniel had previously demonstrated his support on social media. When Pamela posted photos commemorating The Naked Gun’s release, Daniel reacted enthusiastically in the comments with a series of fire and white heart emojis, conveying warmth and encouragement toward the pair.
Family Members Rally Behind the Duo
Support for the rumored couple extended beyond Liam’s side. Pamela Anderson’s sons, Dylan Jagger Lee, 29, and Brandon Thomas Lee, 27, both from her marriage to Tommy Lee, also expressed approval in public forums. Dylan commented in celebration,
“YES!! You guys absolutely nailed this. So proud,”
—Dylan Jagger Lee while Brandon praised the effort poured into the film, stating,
“So proud of you and all of the hard work that went into this film! Everyone involved should be so proud!”
—Brandon Thomas Lee
Despite the outward encouragement, Pamela and Liam maintained a level of discretion regarding their relationship status. The day after their WWHL appearance, Today show host Craig Melvin confronted them on air about the possibility of their romance, noting the undeniable chemistry and asking,
“What’s the deal here? You’re both single right now. There’s clearly chemistry on display throughout this film. Are you two an item?”
—Craig Melvin
Pamela responded coyly, “I don’t understand the question,” while Liam playfully interrupted with an indignant, “Craig!” signaling their preference to keep their connection private for the time being.

Liam elaborated on how they nurtured their connection organically, stating,
“It’s like, ‘Oh, this is nice. Let’s not mold this. Let’s just let it breathe,’ and that’s what we did.”
—Liam Neeson
Their positive rapport has extended well beyond the initial encounter. In an interview from November 2024, Liam admitted to People magazine that he was deeply enamored with Pamela, calling her “madly in love”, and lauding her work ethic and humility. He said,
“She’s just terrific to work with. I can’t compliment her enough, I’ll be honest with you.”
—Liam Neeson
He further praised her personality, describing her as
“funny and so easy to work with”
and predicted she would be outstanding in the film.
Pamela reciprocated the admiration, singling out Liam as the perfect gentleman and recalling an instance when he wrapped his coat around her to shield her from the cold. She said,
“He brings out the best in you, with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.”
