Pamela Anderson, serial bride
Pamela Anderson’s fifth marriage turned out to be her shortest ever…
Former Baywatch beauty Pamela Anderson announced recently that she’d married movie producer Jon Peters, 74 - a man she’d first dated and who proposed to her 30 years ago - at a ceremony in Malibu, California on 20 January.
But after just 12 days, the pair called it quits. Pamela, 52, explained, ‘I have been moved by the warm reception to Jon’s and my union. We would be very grateful for your support, as we take some time apart to re-evaluate what we want from life and from one another.’
The actress-turned-activist said their wedding was never ‘formalised’, adding, ‘Life is a journey and love is a process. With that universal truth in mind, we have mutually decided to put off the formalisation of our marriage certificate and put our faith in the process.’
Pamela and Jon – who produced 1976 film A Star Is Born, which starred his ex Barbra Streisand – had both previously been married four times. Perhaps Pam is addicted to the idea of getting hitched!
But why do certain women marry in haste? Psychologist
Dr Kalanit Ben-Ari (see readyforlove.today) told best, ‘Some people are simply in love with falling in love, and although they genuinely want to find it each time, they might not know how to create and sustain a healthy relationship.
‘It can also come from a place of insecurity, or fear of being alone. Marriage might not hold the same meaning and value for those who have experienced multiple breakups or divorces. It can even be a case of selfsabotage.’
Pam certainly has form. After knowing each other for 96 hours, Pamela and Mötley Crüe rocker Tommy Lee eloped to Mexico in 1995.
That stormy union lasted three years, and involved a leaked sex tape, a six-month stint in jail for Tommy for spousal abuse, and two children – Brandon Thomas Lee, now 23, and Dylan Jagger Lee, now 22, before they divorced, in 1998.
Pamela married musician Kid Rock in 2006, in St Tropez — but filed for divorce that November.
Her third marriage was to old pal Rick Salomon, in October 2007 – but she filed for divorce that December – both parties citing fraud as the reason to end their marriage.
In January 2014, it emerged that Pamela had wed Rick again, after telling chatshow host Ellen DeGeneres they were ‘ best friends with benefits’. That July, however, she filed for divorce, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.
Maybe marriage doesn’t suit you, Pammy – ever thought of that…?!
