Liam’s late wife, Natasha, tragically passed away after sustaining a serious injury to her brain following a skiing accident when she was just 45 years old. The couple were married for 15 years and shared two children, Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28.

Since Natasha’s sudden d3ath, Liam has mostly remained single, except for a 2-year relationship with PR executive Freya St. Johnston. That was up until recent times when he sweetly announced that he is in a relationship with Baywatch star Pamela Anderson.

Liam, 73, and Pamela, 58, are starring in a new comedy together, Naked Gun, where it is rumoured their romance started. The former Baywatch star shared an Instagram post which included the Taken actor, along with the caption: “The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it’s good for you! I’ll see you there.”
