While Pamela Anderson is a household name in Hollywood, fans might not know her for her most important role: being a mom! After all, with her modeling and acting projects aside, Anderson is just a proud mom to her two sons, Brandon Thomas Lee and Dylan Jagger Lee whom she shares with Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee.
Anderson became a mom for the first time in 1996, a year into her marriage with ex-husband Tommy Lee. A year later, in 1997, Anderson and Lee became parents to their second son, Dylan. While Lee and Anderson’s marriage fell apart soon after, in 1998, the two have co-parented their kids ever since.

Fast-forward to today, Anderson can’t help but gush over her grown-up sons. “Brandon and Dylan are true miracles, considering their gene pool,” she joked in her 2023 memoir Love, Pamela. “They have been through so much, yet they are not full of holes.”
“They saved me,” she said in another moment, referring to her rocky marriage with Lee. “I don’t want to put that on my kids but having children changed everything. I’ve loved every moment.”

Brandon Thomas Lee
Brandon Thomas Lee was born on June 6, 1996, and has held quite a few hats over the years. He’s done some work as an actor, most notably Sierra Burgess Is a Loser and Baywatch, and as a reality star, famously joining The Hills: New Beginnings in 2019.
Brandon Is a Producer & Ideated His Mom’s Comeback
Brandon became a producer in 2022, joining his mom in telling her true story. Per IMDb, he helped produce her HGTV show Pamela’s Garden of Eden, her Netflix documentary Pamela: A Love Story and her latest movie, The Last Showgirl. In a Dec. 17, 2024 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Anderson credited her revival to Brandon saying, “He’s such a visionary and he kind of masterminded this whole comeback.”
“Two years ago, I made a decision. I wanted the world to truly see my mom,” Brandon wrote on Instagram in July 2023. “She’s an icon who helped shape a generation, but it was about time she shaped her own narrative. Today, I’m overjoyed knowing that the world not only recognizes her but has come to adore her the way I always have.”
As for his work in The Last Showgirl, Brandon is actually the reason Anderson signed up in the first place. “'[Director Gia Coppola] found Brandon — Brandon knew where I was obviously — and brought me the script,” she told People. “I just knew I had to do it. It was very exciting.”
Months later, Anderson received critical acclaim for her role as Shelly and even received her first Golden Globe nomination.
“I think it’s just the culmination of a very hard road,” he gushed to Entertainment Tonight at the Jan. 5 ceremony. “I’ve seen her put in the work and the hours and what it takes to be an actress on this level and I think the proof is in the pudding.”
“I’m very proud of her,” he added. Talk about her biggest cheerleader!
His Girlfriend Is Model Lily Easton
Since 2021, Brandon has been in a relationship with Australian model Lily Easton. The couple posed on the red carpet together at the premiere of Anderson’s Netflix documentary in January 2023 and attended Monse Maison’s pre-Met Gala party in May 2024 but otherwise keep their relationship pretty low-key.
Prior to dating Easton, Brandon was linked to Bella Thorne in 2015, Kathryn Newton in 2019 and Daniella Beckerman, who appeared with him on The Hills: New Beginnings, in 2021.
Brandon & His Dad Tommy Lee Have a Difficult Relationship
In March 2018, LAPD were called to Tommy Lee’s home after an alleged physical altercation between him and his son after the drummer posted a series of disparaging tweets about Anderson after she accused him of physical abuse in an interview. The case was dismissed the following month.
That June, tensions brewed again after Tommy shared a lengthy post on Father’s Day claiming his sons “don’t know the value of things.” He added: “I know I’m not fully to blame, because their mom has a lot to do with it, enabling bad behavior and buying them things when they weren’t good, but I guess I hoped at the end of the day they would end up kind.”
Brandon responded on his own Instagram writing, “You gotta show up to be a Dad big guy. If you think we’re so bad (which I can assure you we are not) then you should have showed up to a few more BDays and baseball games. Someone like you couldn’t raise a man like me.”
The pair appeared to reconcile later that year with Tommy sharing a photo of them hugging in Dec. In 2021, Tommy supported Brandon at the launch of his clothing line, Swingers Club, posing for photos with him and ex-wife Pamela Anderson.
Dylan Jagger Lee
Anderson’s youngest son, Dylan Jagger Lee, was born on Dec. 29, 1997. While he showed up in Anderson’s Pamela’s Garden of Eden series, he mostly works as a model and musician.
He Models for Major Fashion Brands
According to his management, EWG, he got his modeling career started at a Saint Laurent fashion show in 2016. Since then, he’s worked for major fashion brands like Acne Studios, Armani Exchange, Coach, Dolce & Gabbana, Hugo Boss and True Religion. He’s also worked for many fashion publications like Interview, GQ Russia, NYLON, VMAN, Vogue, W, and Wonderland.
As for his music career, he’s been in the bands Midnight Kids and Motel 7. Midnight Kids released their debut eight-song EP, “The Lost Youth”, in 2020. In 2021, they announced they were disbanding.
Dylan Is Engaged to Paula Bruss
In June 2023, he announced his engagement to his girlfriend, Paula Bruss, an architectural designer from Germany. “Till the end 💍,” he wrote on Instagram alongside photos and videos of the moment.
In the comments, Anderson and Lee both showed their support. “I’m so happy for you guys!!!” Anderson wrote. “You are meant for each other… I love you both, congratulations! ❤️” Pure L❤️ve,” Lee wrote in his comment.
Much like his older brother Brandon, Dylan has also celebrated their mom’s latest projects and championed her telling her side of the story. “I’m beyond proud of my mom and my family,” he wrote on Instagram at the Pamela: A Love Story premiere. “Let the truth be told 🤍.”
