Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson's 'Relationship' Goes Public — But Did His Ex-Sister-in-Law Just Throw Shade?

Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson has 'somewhat' confirmed their budding romance during The Naked Gun press tour, with affectionate red carpet moments and playful interviews making headlines.

But as the couple embraced the spotlight, Joely Richardson — sister of Neeson's late wife, Natasha Richardson — drew attention with a cryptic Instagram comment featuring seven red heart emojis on Anderson's post, prompting fans to debate whether it was a gesture of support or subtle disapproval.

The relationship reportedly began on the set of The Naked Gun, directed by Akiva Schaffer, where Neeson and Anderson star as romantic leads. The film premiered in cinemas on 1 August 2025.

A source confirmed to People that the two are dating, describing the relationship as 'sincere' and noting 'they're smitten with each other.' Anderson previously told Entertainment Weekly that she and Neeson share a 'very sincere, very loving' connection and called him 'a friend forever.'

As reported by News.com, Neeson echoed the sentiment, saying: 'We met on set... discovered a lovely, budding chemistry... let it breathe.'

Anderson also revealed she baked sourdough bread and bran muffins for Neeson during filming, which he described as 'superb,' further reflecting their off-screen bond.

The couple's closeness became increasingly visible during promotional events. At the London premiere on 22 July, Anderson kissed Neeson on the cheek, sparking immediate speculation. On 28 July, the duo appeared at the New York premiere alongside their sons — Micheál and Daniel Neeson, and Brandon and Dylan Lee — suggesting a more personal connection beyond co-stars.

On the Today Show, the two staged a mock kiss in response to the dating rumours. They were later photographed holding hands during a SiriusXM interview, further reinforcing reports of a real-life romance.

Joely Richardson's Instagram Comment on Pamela Anderson

Amid the excitement, Joely Richardson, Neeson's ex-sister-in-law, drew attention with an Instagram comment. Under one of Anderson's promotional posts for The Naked Gun, she posted seven red heart emojis. The gesture prompted online debate: was it heartfelt support, or a carefully worded reaction from someone closely tied to Neeson's late wife?

Richardson has not issued a formal statement, but many fans and outlets have taken her red heart emojis as a quiet show of genuine support for the couple's budding relationship. Given Richardson's close bond with her late sister Natasha Richardson and Liam Neeson, her decision to engage publicly was interpreted by some as a respectful endorsement.

Others viewed it as a subtle acknowledgment of the actor's new chapter. The lack of text alongside the emojis only added to the speculation, but the warm tone of the gesture was largely seen as positive across fan forums and entertainment media.
