Pamela Anderson is getting real about the strained relationship between her and her ex, Tommy Lee.
The actress admitted that although she would have liked to maintain a more cordial relationship with Lee, they had grown distant, likely due to his devotion to his new wife, Brittany Furlan.
The former couple famously eloped in 1995 after knowing each other for only four days and got divorced in 1998.
Pamela Anderson Breaks Her Silence On Tommy Lee
Breaking years of relative quiet regarding her most famous romance, Pamela Anderson has opened up about the emotional distance currently separating her from her ex-husband, Tommy Lee.
During a revealing appearance on SiriusXM's "Andy Cohen Live," the 58-year-old "Naked Gun" star admitted that while she and the drummer share a complicated and storied past, their present-day communication has dwindled to nearly nothing.
Despite the long silence, Anderson confessed a deep sense of nostalgia and hope for a better rapport, bluntly stating, "I miss him."
Anderson revealed that their youngest son, Dylan Jagger, is scheduled to tie the knot in an event she expects both Lee and his current wife, Brittany Furlan Lee, to attend. Although she hasn't spoken to the 63-year-old rocker directly in quite some time, she continues to monitor his well-being through their sons.
When Cohen pressed her on the barriers preventing a friendship, Anderson didn't hold back. She suggested that while Lee is a "real romantic" who is deeply dedicated to his current marriage, that very dedication might be the reason he avoids "causing waves" by reaching out to her.
When asked if she believed their "communication" would be more fluid if he weren't with his current partner, Anderson responded with a definitive, "I do." Despite the tension, she insisted she still wishes the couple the absolute best, acknowledging that as they move toward the era of grandchildren, their lives will remain eternally intertwined.
A Strained Silence: The Growing Distance Between Former Flames

This isn't the first time Anderson has opened up about the dynamic between her and Lee. During a promotional sit-down for her 2024 film "The Last Showgirl," the actress offered a candid glimpse into the cooling of their once-frequent communication.
"I mean, we used to talk a lot more. Not recently, unfortunately, but you know, I wish we did have a better rapport right now," she said, as reported by People Magazine.
Despite the current lack of rapport, Anderson remained optimistic about the long-term future of their family bond.
While she acknowledged that they are currently weathering a difficult "moment" of silence, she expressed a firm belief that things will settle into a better place.
Pamela Anderson Rejects Reunion Rumors Amid Tommy Lee's Personal Storm

Despite her public admission of missing the connection they once shared, Anderson previously reportedly shut down any talk of a romantic reconciliation with her ex-husband.
Even as rumors swirled regarding the stability of Lee's current marriage to Furlan, sources close to the "Baywatch" icon insist she has no intention of revisiting their past as a couple.
According to The Blast, insiders claimed Lee and Furlan faced significant hurdles, including a period of living apart and growing concerns from their inner circle regarding Lee's struggles with sobriety.
However, now thriving in her single life, the actress is said to have felt a sense of relief in being distanced from the chaotic "personal drama" that often surrounds her former flame.
Why Pamela Anderson Called Her Encounter With Seth Rogen 'Yucky'

While Anderson is currently navigating the delicate task of maintaining a peaceful distance from Lee's personal struggles, her resentment toward those who profited from their past remains close to the surface.
This lingering frustration recently manifested as a "yucky" experience during the 2026 Golden Globes, where the actress found herself seated uncomfortably close to Seth Rogen.
As an executive producer and star of the controversial Hulu series "Pam & Tommy," Rogen was a key architect of the project that dramatized the theft and distribution of her private sex tape without her involvement or consent.
According to The Blast, she admitted that seeing Rogen celebrated for his work while she sat nearby felt like being treated as "chopped liver," noting the irony of being a "living, breathing human being" whose history was being mined for content.
Unexpected Sparks: Pamela Anderson's 'Romantic Lost Week' with Liam Neeson

While her past with Lee and the shadows of old scandals remain a source of tension, Anderson found much-needed lightness in a surprising new connection with Liam Neeson.
Following their collaboration on the reboot of "The Naked Gun," the 58-year-old actress shared that her bond with the "Taken" star evolved into what she describes as a "romantic lost week," per The Blast.
Despite skeptics labeling their high-profile chemistry as a calculated publicity stunt, Anderson insisted their feelings were entirely genuine. She noted that while they ultimately transitioned from a brief romance into a supportive friendship to focus on their respective careers, the mutual admiration remains strong.
