Pamela Anderson has made plenty of controversial choices over the years, including getting
married multiple times under iffy circumstances, and now she's done it again.
On January 20, 2020, the former Baywatch star married A Star Is Born producer Jon Peters
during a secret ceremony in Malibu.
These two reportedly dating 30 years ago, and after getting back together just a few
months ago, they decided to tie the knot.
Anderson's son, Brandon Thomas Lee, star of The Hills: New Beginnings, shared his thoughts
about the surprising union to Fox News, saying,
"I'm incredibly happy for my mom and Jon.
They've known each other for over 35 years and I wish them luck in this next chapter
of their lives together…I will support the happy couple however I can and I'm excited
to get to know Jon's family even better."
Anderson marked the occasion on Twitter two days after the ceremony by simply sharing
a photo of herself and her new husband years ago, when he proposed but she said no because
he was 20 years older than her.
Peters shared his thoughts as well, telling The Hollywood Reporter:
"There are beautiful girls everywhere.
I could have my pick, but, for 35 years, I've only wanted Pamela...She makes me wild, in
a good way."
A secret wedding is certainly "wild," but it's not the first time the actress has said
"I do" under shocking circumstances.
Pamela Anderson first shocked the world with a surprise wedding in 1995, when she tied
the knot with Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee just 96 hours after their first date.
Even the actress' mother was stunned, telling People:
"This was the first I'd heard of him.
It is heartbreaking and shocking."
"You divorced Tommy Lee, and then you married him again?"
"I do that."
While things ultimately didn't work out between Anderson and Lee, he apparently wishes her
the best now.
A source told Hollywood Life:
"Nothing will ever be the same for Tommy when it comes to his relationship with Pam.
It was a once in a lifetime relationship, with once in a lifetime experiences, but so
much time has passed that what Tommy hopes for Pam, the mother of his children, now is
that she is in a happy place with her new husband because if she wasn't then there would
be hell to pay."
Anderson stuck with the theme of unexpected marriage ceremonies in July 2006, when she
tied the knot with Kid Rock.
While guests called the event "a real rock n' roll wedding," it also wasn't legal, reported
People.
The nuptials went down on a yacht in Saint-Tropez.
The bride wore white, as in a white, string bikini.
To be legally binding, the couple needed to have a civil ceremony in the government building.
Perhaps that's why Anderson told the press that she planned to marry Kid Rock again...and
again and again and again.
She told People,
"I'm going to get married a few times this month to the same guy.
We had to do Malibu, we've got to do Detroit, and we've got to do Nashville."
Committing to spending the rest of their lives together via multiple weddings didn't help
the pair's chances, and by February 2007, Rock and Anderson had broken up.
"Here's to living alone!"
Not so fast.
Anderson got hitched to professional poker player Rick Salomon in October 2007, but annulled
the marriage two months later.
You may recognize Salomon as the man who was featured in, and sold, Paris Hilton's infamous
sex tape.
In January 2014, they walked down the aisle for the second time, but Anderson later filed
for divorce in July 2014, only to change her mind, then file for divorce again in February
2015.
Before marrying Jon Peters in January 2020, Anderson was rumored to be involved with,
believe it or not, Julian Assange, the man in the middle of the WikiLeaks scandal.
The two never officially confirmed that there was anything romantic going on between them,
but Anderson did comment on their friendship via a post on the Pamela Anderson Foundation
website, writing,
"I'm also not shocked that this may be interpreted, and 'reduced' to just a sexual relationship.
That is the easiest perception.
And appeals to the tabloids.
Takes into account my image.
It may be hard to imagine for some, that I have other assets, of equal or greater value."
Here's hoping that Anderson's new husband appreciates those other assets and that they
both live happily ever after.
