Pamela Anderson is basking in Oscar buzz with her role in the film Last Showgirl, but behind the scenes, she says her relationship with her ex-husband, Tommy Lee, has grown distant.
Anderson, 57, opened up to Andy Cohen on his SiriuxSM show, Radio Andy, on the episode that aired Thursday, January 9. According to the actress, she and Lee, who divorced in 1998 after three years of marriage, have "not recently" been in communication, Page Six reported.
"I mean we used to talk a lot more, not recently unfortunately," she said of the 62-year-old Mötley Crüe drummer, with whom she shares two sons — Brandon, 27, and Dylan, 26.
"I wish we did have a better rapport right now," Anderson continued, noting that their youngest boy "is engaged" and she and Lee are "going to have grandkids together."
Lee was Anderson's first of four husbands, and the pair made headlines at the beginning of their relationship when a private sex tape they made was leaked. The former Baywatch star revealed in her 2023 memoir, Love, Pamela, that the rocker was the "only time" she "was ever truly in love."
Eight years after their divorce, Anderson married Kid Rock, but their union ended in 2007. That same year, she wed poker player Rick Salomon, divorcing him in 2008 before remarrying him in 2014. The second marriage also ended, with their split finalized in 2015. In January 2020, Anderson briefly married movie producer Jon Peters, with the marriage lasting just 12 days. Later that year, she tied the knot with Dan Hayhurst, her ex-bodyguard, but the two parted ways two years later.
Anderson told Cohen that despite her now going through a rough patch with her first love, Lee, they'll "be okay eventually," and that "it's just kind of a moment right now."
