Pamela Anderson finally addresses long-standing rumors about her relationship with Liam Neeson

Pamela Anderson is getting real about her short-lived romance with Liam Neeson. 

In a new interview, the "Baywatch" alum, 58, shared "intimate" details about her love affair with her "Naked Gun" co-star and explained why the pair eventually went their separate ways.

"If you must know, Liam and I were romantically involved for a short while but only after we finished filming ['The Naked Gun']," she told People

While spending an "intimate week" together at his home in upstate New York, Anderson recalled Neeson introducing her as the "future Mrs. Neeson" during an evening out. 

PAMELA ANDERSON SEEMINGLY SHUTS DOWN PR STUNT CLAIMS ABOUT HER LIAM NEESON ROMANCE RUMORS

Anderson said the two went their separate ways after that week, but reconnected while promoting the film this summer. 

"We were having fun," said Anderson, who described their connection as "a little bit like a Nancy Meyers film. I always was laughing when people thought, ‘Oh, that’s a publicity stunt.’ I’m like, ‘A publicity stunt? This is real. We have real feelings.’"

"I adore Liam, but we are better friends, in full honesty," she added. "He is such a supporter of this new trajectory in my career and kindly tells me he is very proud of me. I’m sure we will always be in each other’s lives."

The 58-year-old actress and the 73-year-old actor made headlines with their flirty exchanges and public displays of affection throughout the "Naked Gun" press tour, which kicked off in July.

Since then, reports circulated that the pair's romantic connection was a calculated PR strategy to promote the film. 

In August, sources told TMZ that Anderson and Neeson's PR teams, along with the movie's studio, Paramount Pictures, orchestrated the duo's alleged fake relationship while "The Naked Gun" was in production. 

TMZ reported that Anderson and Neeson had not seen each other from the time that filming wrapped in July 2024 until the press tour began. 

In addition, the outlet reported that Anderson and Neeson never had a one-on-one date, and their dinners together were strictly business with personal assistants present. While speaking with People, a source slammed the allegation as "ridiculous."

"Everything between them has been genuine. Neither would ever take part in a publicity stunt. They have a great time. Neither of them needs the publicity," the insider said.

"Their relationship isn’t just for show," another source told the outlet. "They have a real connection. There’s no incentive for either of them to stage something like this."

In September, during an appearance at the 51st Deauville American Film Festival in Deauville, France, Anderson — who gave an acceptance speech after receiving the festival's Deauville Talent Award — seemingly shut down rumors that she and Neeson orchestrated their romantic chemistry to drive ticket sales. 

"I do not and will never feed into PR stunts," she said during her speech, per People. "That would be a death sentence. I'm authentically driven. I'm superstitious when it comes to love. And I'm not comfortable sharing any shred of my romantic life."

"I know I'll fall in love again and again on screen," she continued. "That is my job. If we do it well, you will feel it, a kind of projection. It is the greatest compliment. So please think positive. And I appreciate your good wishes. There are no silly games being played. I'm sincere."

"Do not mistake my kindness for weakness or my boldness for bitterness. I'm here on this journey, not for money or for fame, but to see what I'm made of in truth, hard work and to leave behind an honest legacy my family can be proud of," she concluded. 

White House official presses allies to free AI from innovation-killing regulations

White House science and technology advisor Michael Kratsios opened a meeting of G7 tech ministers by urging governments to clear regulatory obstacles to artificial intelligence adoption, warning that sweeping new rule books or outdated oversight frameworks risk slowing the innovation needed to unlock AI-driven productivity.

Kratsios, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy director, spoke Tuesday at the G7 Industry, Digital and Technology Ministers' Meeting in Montréal, Quebec.

"The United States is committed to promoting private-sector-led development of AI systems, applications, and infrastructure, to protect and foster innovation. This primarily requires us to throw off regulatory burdens that weigh down innovators, especially in the construction of the infrastructure that undergirds the AI revolution," said Kratsios in a draft of his remarks obtained by Fox News Digital.

"However, we also recognize the benefits of AI will not be fully realized by complete de-regulation. Regulatory and non-regulatory policy frameworks that safeguard the public interest while enabling innovation are necessary to earn the public trust in AI technologies that will allow broad deployment and fast adoption."

TRUMP LAUNCHES ‘GENESIS MISSION’ TO SUPERCHARGE US SCIENTIFIC AI INNOVATION

The U.S. official told Fox News Digital that the White House wants its allies to build a "trusted AI ecosystem defined by smart, sector-specific regulations tailored to each nation's priorities and designed to accelerate innovation." 

"Together, we can deliver transformative growth, keep critical data secure, and ensure the future of AI is built on freedom and human ingenuity," Kratsios added.

President Donald Trump has put artificial intelligence at the forefront of his administration, appointing David Sacks as his "AI czar" and issuing an executive order in January that rolled back many of the federal government’s previous AI safety and oversight policies in an effort to speed deployment — a move critics say could weaken safeguards and increase risks as the technology spreads.

Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform Monday that he will issue a "One Rule" executive order later this week to establish a single national framework for artificial intelligence regulation, arguing that U.S. dominance in the technology will be "destroyed in its infancy" if he doesn’t.

WHEN AI CHEATS: THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF REWARD HACKING

"We are beating ALL COUNTRIES at this point in the race, but that won’t last long if we are going to have 50 States, many of them bad actors, involved in RULES and the APPROVAL PROCESS. THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT ABOUT THIS!" he said in part. "You can’t expect a company to get 50 Approvals every time they want to do something. THAT WILL NEVER WORK!"

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized the notion of stripping states of jurisdiction to regulate AI, arguing on X in November that it amounts to a "subsidy" to Big Tech and would prevent states from "protecting against online censorship of political speech, predatory applications that target children, violations of intellectual property rights and data center intrusions on power/water resources."

"The rise of AI is the most significant economic and cultural shift occurring at the moment; denying the people the ability to channel these technologies in a productive way via self-government constitutes federal government overreach and lets technology companies run wild," DeSantis added. "Not acceptable."
