We've been blessed with three truly unexpected couples so far this summer: Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau, Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise, and Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson. These two are too cute for words (talking about Pam and Liam, obviously), and their relationship has blossomed in the sweetest way over these past few weeks. But things actually started back in Spring 2024, so clearly we need a timeline for everyone obsessed and nosy!
Circa May 2024
It all kicks off when filming begins on The Naked Gun and Pamela and Liam meet for the first time!
October 25, 2024
Liam—fresh off filming—tells People, "With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film."
May 7, 2025
Pamela chats to Entertainment Weekly and reveals that she and Liam bonded over their love for literature and laughing, saying "We had many dinners out with the cast. I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed 'professionally romantic' during filming."
July 8, 2025
Pamela is in the thick of press for The Naked Gun, and tells Entertainment Tonight "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."
July 22, 2025
Things escalate. By which I mean Pamela kisses Liam on the red carpet.
July 24, 2025
Obviously, everyone starts wondering whether they're dating, or merely leaning into the press cycle for their film.

Either way, they're so cute I can't stand it.
July 29, 2025
Liam and Pam tease audiences by pretending to make out on The Today Show:
Co-host Craig Melvin asks the pair "What’s the deal here? You’re both single right now. There’s clearly chemistry. Are you two an item?" And Pam jokes "I don’t understand the question."
Liam then cryptically says "I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely budding chemistry as two actors. It was like ‘Ooo, this is nice, let’s not mold this. Let’s just let it breathe.’ And that’s what we did."
Meanwhile, source tells People that Liam and Pamela are "enjoying each other's company," and that "it's a budding romance in the early stages. It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other."
An insider also chats to Us Weekly, saying "Pamela and Liam are dating" and that they "always had chemistry while they were filming and their friendship naturally developed into more." They add that becoming a couple is "new," that they're "learning how to navigate it together," and are "both shy and have tried to stay private but the spark between them is obvious."
Meanwhile, ANOTHER source tells the Daily Mail, "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. Pam cooks and gardens at home... it's wholesome and appealing and very un-Hollywood and Liam loves that. He actually gets involved."
July 30, 2025
Not one to be excluded, a source tells Page Six, "Getting close to him has been on her mind since she was cast. He’s f–king Liam Neeson. She has always found him attractive and interesting. What is happening? Even they may not know. They are figuring things out along the way. It’s fun to watch. Pamela is a romantic."
Meanwhile, Pamela and Liam hold hands during a radio interview:
July 31, 2025
Liam says the highlight of his career is working with Pam in what might be the sweetest interview I've ever seen.
August 2, 2025
Amid RUDE speculation that this could all be a PR stunt, another source tells Page Six that "It’s very sincere how they feel. 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."
The insider added, "This is happening in real time, here and now, so I don’t know what things look like moving forward. They make for a beautiful couple…Liam is a gentleman, he’s warm and present, he’s a very lovely man."
August 5, 2025
A source tells Us Weekly that "feelings were definitely happening between them" on set but they "both felt it was important not to blur any lines during production. They started spending more time together [and getting] more personal… introducing their children and having dinners. They realized the connection went deeper."
That's all for now, but we'll be keeping this updated!
