Pamela Anderson said her life is “more romantic now than ever”

Pamela Anderson considers one marriage that was a “disaster.”

The actress told Vanity Fair that when rebuilding her house during the epidemic, she started to “romanticise everything.” She is currently single and resides with her five dogs at her grandparents’ former farmhouse on Vancouver Island in Canada.

All the contractors who were present “were looking excellent,” said Anderson.

On Christmas Eve 2020, Anderson married her bodyguard and builder Dan Hayhurst at her residence. Less than a year later, they got divorced.

She remembered the brief marriage to Vanity Fair, saying, “It ended up being a tragedy.”

Soon after she split from her fourth husband in January 2022, Anderson began to look back on her life and compile her memoir Love, Pamela and work on the documentary Pamela: a Love Story.

Anderson appeared on the British talk show Loose Women back in February 2021 alongside Hayhurst for an interview over video call, with the then-newlyweds answering questions about their nuptials while in bed. Anderson said she and Hayhurst met on her family property. “He was working here and I got stuck here during COVID and we stuck together,” she said.

“He’s the kinda guy I would have met if I didn’t go round the world and get crazy,” she added at the time. “It’s nice to be with a real man who can actually change a lightbulb. He’s useful. It’s a new thing.”

Anderson and her ex-husband Tommy Lee, whom she married in 1995, had two kids together: Brandon, 26, and Dylan, 25. She later wed Kid Rock, Rick Salomon (they were married twice, but one of the unions was dissolved), and Hayhurst. She spent a total of 12 days married to movie producer Jon Peters in 2020, but their union was never recognised since they neglected to submit the necessary paperwork.

The actress no longer needs a companion in her life at all times and is comfortable with it. I’ve learnt to try and do this without a life preserver, without having somebody nearby to comfort me, she told Vanity Fair. I’ve got to comfort myself. I’m OK on my alone, therefore leaving has been the most difficult aspect of the journey… with my dogs. I need my dogs. I can’t be that alone.”

Added Anderson, “I had this wild, bumpy life and met a lot of interesting people along the way and had a lot of interesting love affairs. But I feel like my life is more romantic now than ever. I have dinner for one or with my dogs. I’m the same person with or without somebody. Rose petals in the bathtub, making my own rose oils, making my own candles. I’m kind of crafty all of a sudden.”

Her new memoir, Love, Pamela, and Netflix documentary, Pamela, a Love Story, are both out Tuesday, Jan. 31.
