Liam Neeson's sister-in-law approves of romance following late wife's tragic death

Liam Neeson's former sister-in-law has given a sweet sign of approval towards his new blossoming romance with Baywatch star Pamela Anderson following his late wife's death

Liam Neeson's former sister-in-law Joely Richardson has given her nod of approval for his new reported relationship with Hollywood star Pamela Anderson, 16 years after his late wife passed away in a tragic accident.


Liam’s late wife, Natasha, tragically passed away after sustaining a serious injury to her brain following a skiing accident when she was just 45 years old. The couple were married for 15 years and shared two children, Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28.


Since Natasha’s sudden death, Liam has mostly remained single, except for a 2-year relationship with PR executive Freya St. Johnston. That was up until recent times when he sweetly announced that he is in a relationship with Baywatch star Pamela Anderson.

Liam, 73, and Pamela, 58, are starring in a new comedy together, Naked Gun, where it is rumoured their romance started. The former Baywatch star shared an Instagram post which included the Taken actor, along with the caption: “The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it's good for you! I’ll see you there.”

Joely, the younger sister of Liam's late wife, commented a string of red hearts, which more than 750 Instagram users have liked.


The sweet sign of approval by Joely comes after Pamela shared she how she impressed Liam with her homemade cooking, more specifically, sourdough bread and muffins.

While she is highly known for her iconic red swimsuit on Baywatch, Pamela is also a renowned cook and has even brought out her own cookbook. I Love You: Recipes From The Heart was nominated for a 2025 James Beard Award.


At a SiriusXM Town Hall event in New York City on Wednesday, Pamela shared: "[I was] nervous to meet [Liam], of course and you're always nervous the first day on the set..."

"I brought sourdough bread to Liam and cookies and muffins and kept me busy. Kept me outta trouble ... It's a very special [muffin] recipe. It's very good for you. Let's just say that."

According to the Daily Mail, the pair have been spending quality time at Pamela's Canadian home, bonding over shared interests like gardening and baking.


A source revealed to DailyMail: “Pam is very drawn to Liam because he is totally open to her way of thinking and living, and especially her approach to fame, which is impressive.

"She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers, and spending time with her sons and dogs."
