With her acting career once again in high gear, Pamela Anderson is hoping to smooth things over with her ex-husband, Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee.
Appearing on SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live” Thursday, Anderson acknowledged that she and Lee ― with whom she shares sons Brandon Thomas, 28, and Dylan Jagger, 27 ― are currently not on the friendliest of terms.
“We used to talk a lot more ― not recently, unfortunately,” she told Cohen. “I wish we did have a better rapport.”
As for the chances of a reconciliation with Lee, the “Baywatch” actor appeared optimistic, particularly as Dylan Jagger approaches a personal milestone.
“My youngest son is engaged and we’re gonna have grandkids together,” she said. “It’ll be OK, eventually. It’s just kind of a moment right now.”
Anderson and Lee met on New Year’s Eve in 1994 and were married in February 1995.

The couple was thrust into the epicenter of a media firestorm when their honeymoon sex tape was leaked to the public less than a year after their wedding. They divorced in 1998.
In recent years, Anderson has been enjoying a professional resurgence. In 2022, she made her Broadway debut after landing the role of Roxie Hart in the smash musical “Chicago.” About a year later, she appeared in the Netflix documentary “Pamela, A Love Story” and published a memoir, “Love, Pamela.”
This week, she returns to the big screen in “The Last Showgirl,” playing a Las Vegas performer who must grapple with financial uncertainty after her long-running live act is given the ax.
Anderson received her first Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for her performance in the film, which co-stars Dave Bautista and Jamie Lee Curtis.

In her “Andy Cohen Live” chat, Anderson described the accolades she’s received for “The Last Showgirl” as the “best payback” for “Pam & Tommy,” the 2022 Hulu miniseries that depicted her sex tape scandal and was made without her involvement.
“I’m being seen and recognized for my work and not these tawdry moments,” she said.
