Pamela Anderson is once again making headlines with the recent release of her memoir Love, Pamela, and new Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story, both of which offer the world a look into the Baywatch star’s life through her own lens, rather than that of the paparazzi and media.
Over the years, Anderson’s life has been thoroughly put under the microscope, and outside of her work in modeling, Baywatch, and Home Improvement before it, she has certainly had a highly publicized and turbulent romantic life. She has married and engaged on multiple occasions, with the shortest marriage reportedly lasting all of 12 days, although those nuptials were never put in writing.
So how many times has Pamela Anderson been married, exactly? We’re here to break down all of the details for you. We can tell you this much, it doesn’t go into the double digits.
All of Pamela Anderson’s marriages, explained
Pamela Anderson’s first husband was Mötley Crüe’s Tommy Lee. The pair married in 1995 after only knowing each other for a few days, and had two children together. The musician assaulted Anderson and went to prison for doing so, and consequently, Anderson filed for divorce from Lee in 1998. The pair reportedly had an on-again, off-again relationship until around 2008.
The Baywatch star was engaged to Kid Rock in 2002, however the pair split before walking down the aisle. However, after reuniting in 2006, they finally tied the knot, only to be divorced a few months later. Months later, she met and married Rick Salomon, but also divorced quite quickly. Anderson and Salomon were reportedly on-again, and-off again (including a brief remarriage), until 2015.
In 2020 she married Hollywood producer Jon Peters, who she had met at the Playboy mansion in the mid-1980s. The pair lived together for a while, but the relationship didn’t go further at that time due to Anderson’s reported aversion to their age difference. Regardless, shortly after their 2020 reunion and marriage, the pair split. When we say shortly, we mean shortly, the marriage was never formalized and lasted only twelve days.
Finally, she married her bodyguard Dan Hayhurst in late 2020, only to split in early 2022 after the pair seemingly experienced some cabin fever from having lived together over the course of the pandemic.
So, by our count, that’s five total marriages.

As far as we’re aware, Pamela Anderson has not remarried since Hayhurst, and is currently single, undoubtedly focussed on promoting her memoir Love, Pamela, which was released on Jan. 31, 2023.
