Pals of Liam Neeson’s late wife Natasha Richardson weigh in on Pamela Anderson romance

Pamela Anderson and her Naked Gun leading man Liam Neeson brought their undeniable chemistry to SiriusXM Studios in Manhattan on Wednesday where host Andy Cohen shared rare insight into their budding romance.

Cohen happened to be ‘dear friends’ with the late Natasha Richardson, who was married to the 73-year-old Irishman for 15 years until her tragic skiing accident.

‘I, and all of the friends in this circle, are very much stanning whatever this is,’ the 57-year-old Bravo host gushed on SiriusXM earlier Wednesday.

‘As I was telling him at the [Naked Gun] premiere party, I go, “Liam, [Pamela] is an independent woman, just like Tash was. She loves to cook. She has her own thing going on. She has two boys. I mean, this just works, and you know?”

‘She is a formidable human being, Pamela Anderson. She really is. Like what she’s been through and how she kind of reclaimed herself and redefined herself.’

The 58-year-old Baywatch alum experienced a full-blown career resurgence last year after starring in Gia Coppola’s drama The Last Showgirl, which earned her Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations.

Andy noted that ‘it’s been 16 years’ since Richardson died, at age 45, from a traumatic brain injury in 2009, so Neeson might be ready for love again.

However, the Oscar-nominated actor has technically been single since 2012 when he ended his two-year relationship with Freya St. Johnston.

On Wednesday, Liam sweetly held hands with Pamela while speaking with Cohen.

This, after Neeson pretended to make out with Anderson on the TODAY show.

‘I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely budding chemistry as two actors,’ the Schindler’s List alum gushed on the NBC morning show Tuesday.

‘It was like “Ooh, this is nice, let’s not mold this. Let’s just let it breathe.” And that’s what we did.’

The coy couple are the happiest they’ve looked in years, as a source told People on Monday: ‘They’re enjoying each other’s company. It’s a budding romance in the early stages. It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other.’

Earlier this month, the Golden Globe nominee gushed to EW: ‘I think I have a friend forever in Liam. We definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving. He’s a good guy.’

Pamela has been married an eye-popping, five times to four different men – Dan Hayhurst (2020-2022), Rick Salomon (2007-2008 and 2014-2015), Kid Rock (2006-2007), and Tommy Lee (1995-1998).

On Monday, Anderson and Liam looked like every bit the blended family as they posed with their two sons – Micheál, 30; and Daniel, 28; (with Richardson) as well as Brandon, 29; and Dylan, 27; (with Lee).
