Sister of Liam Neeson’s late wife Natasha Richardson reacts to his ‘budding romance’ with Pamela Anderson
Liam Neeson’s new love appears to have his former sister-in-law’s approval.
Pamela Anderson took to Instagram on Friday, August 1, to share a carousel of sweet photos of herself posing with Neeson to promote the release of their new movie together.
“The Naked Gun is finally in theatres!” Anderson, 58, wrote. “Bring your friends, family, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… It’s good for you! I’ll see you there.”

Natasha Richardson’s sister, Joely Richardson, then shared seven red heart emojis in the comments section of Anderson’s post.
Joely’s apparent support for Neeson’s rumored romance with Anderson excited many of the former “Baywatch” star’s fans, and several took to the comments section to share their reactions.
“Classy and loving as always,” one person wrote underneath Joely’s comment.
“Very sweet of you,” added another, while a third commented, “Okay, this is everything.”

Neeson, 73, married Joely’s sister, Natasha Richardson, in 1994 after the pair met and worked together on the Broadway revival of “Anna Christie” one year earlier.
Before striking up a relationship with Richardson, the “Taken” star had dated Helen Mirren and Barbra Streisand.
Neeson and Richardson went on to welcome two sons together: Micheál, now 30, and Daniel, now 28.

But tragedy struck in March 2009 when Richardson passed away from a traumatic brain injury she suffered during a skiing accident in Quebec. The beloved “Parent Trap” actress was 45.
Neeson later opened up about his wife’s passing and the grief he endured during an interview with “60 Minutes” in 2014.
“Grief hits you. It’s like a wave,” he told host Anderson Cooper at the time. “You just get this profound feeling of instability. You feel like a three-legged table. Just suddenly, the Earth isn’t stable anymore.”

“And then it passes and becomes more infrequent, but I still get it sometimes,” the “Star Wars” actor added.
Then, in October 2024, Neeson claimed that he was done dating.
“No, in a word,” he told People last year. “I’m past all that.”

But that appeared to change when the Oscar-nominated actor and Anderson met and began working together on Seth MacFarlane’s “The Naked Gun” reboot.
“With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her,” Neeson, also in October 2024, said. “She’s just terrific to work with.”
“I think I have a friend forever in Liam, and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he’s a good guy,” Anderson told Entertainment Weekly last month.

The pair both brought their sons to the NYC premiere of “The Naked Gun,” and then pretended to make out on live TV during a July 29 appearance on “Today.”
Insiders have since claimed that Neeson and Anderson are dating and “enjoying each other’s company.”
“It’s a budding romance in the early stages,” a source told People in July. “It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other.”

“It’s very sincere how they feel,” another insider told Page Six. “That is the truth.”
“They’re not going to show up on the red carpet and be adorable just to be fake, that’s not either of them,” they added. “This is happening in real time, here and now, so I don’t know what things look like moving forward.”
The Post has reached out to Neeson and Anderson’s reps for comment.
