Pamela Anderson Makes Major Admission About Her Relationship With Tommy Lee
Way back when ... Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson were one of the hottest and most talked-about couples in Hollywood. Us Weekly reports that the Mötley Crüe drummer and the actor first met in 1994. The romance was a whirlwind (to say the least), and Lee and Anderson quickly wed on a trip to Cancun, Mexico, just six weeks after their first meeting. During their time together, the pair welcomed two sons, Brandon Thomas Lee and Dylan Jagger Lee, per People.
After three years of marriage, Anderson pulled the plug on the couple's relationship in 1998. As most of us know, Anderson and Tommy went through a rough time after police arrested the musician for several charges, including spousal abuse and child abuse, that same year (via PopSugar). While Tommy pleaded no contest to the charges, a judge ultimately sentenced him to six months in prison.
Despite the rough ending to their marriage, Tommy still has some fond memories of their time together, and he has spoken about his relationship with Anderson in the past — including in his book, per Entertainment Tonight. The rocker wore his heart on his sleeve, sharing how much he loved and cared for Anderson when they were together. "I couldn't believe that it was possible to feel so happy," he wrote. "For a so-called bad boy, I was turning into a pansy. It felt like our hearts had been hot-glued together." Now, Anderson is gushing over her former flame in her own book.

Pamela Anderson says romance with Tommy Lee was the only time she's been in love
We've learned a lot about Pamela Anderson's relationship with Tommy Lee over the years, but there's also a lot that we're still discovering. According to People, the former "Baywatch" star talks about her relationship with the rocker in her new memoir, "Love, Pamela," where she makes a major confession about their love story. "My relationship with Tommy may have been the only time I was ever truly in love," she says in the book, adding that she and Lee had a lot of "fun" and "our rule was no rules."
Anderson also talked about some of the tougher aspects of their relationship, including their viral sex tape. While Anderson has yet to watch the video, the constant paparazzi following and headlines from it put the pair through the wringer. "It ruined lives, starting with our relationship — and it's unforgivable that people, still to this day, think they can profit from such a terrible experience, let alone a crime," she shared. She also pointed out the time when Lee got physical with her, stating that it was when their "hell began" and she was "crushed." But, she and Lee still keep in touch and she doesn't have many regrets. "Tommy is the father of my kids and I'm forever grateful," she stated.
Anderson also spoke about their relationship with Howard Stern in 2015, stating that she never fell "out of love with Tommy."
