Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson’s romance has delighted Hollywood. However, it wasn’t just the couple’s fans who were shocked; the actor’s relationship received approval from the family of his late wife Natasha Richardson. On Friday, August 1, the Baywatch star posted a series of photos on his blog with Neeson, in which they are promoting their new film The Naked Gun (a remake of the 1988 American comedy). Natasha’s sister Joely Richardson, apparently expressed her support for the new Hollywood couple, leaving several red heart emojis in the comments to Pamela’s post. Several fans liked the reaction of Joely, 60.

As always, humble and loving, – wrote one user under Richardson’s comment.

So sweet of you, – added another.

It’s all love, – commented a third fan.

Neeson, 73, married Natasha in July 1994 in upstate New York, where they had a farmhouse. During their marriage, Neeson and the Parent Trap actress had two sons, Michael, 30, and Daniel, 28. In March 2009, Natasha died from a traumatic brain injury sustained while skiing in Canada at the age of 45. Although Neeson gave up on relationships after his wife’s death, he found love again with Anderson.

Liam said he “fell madly in love” with Pamela, 58, while they were working together on set last October. Neeson and Anderson began fueling romance rumors last month when Anderson shared a tender kiss with Liam on the red carpet at the film’s London premiere. While some speculated that the actors were fueling romance rumors to promote the film, a source exclusively told Page Six that they are genuine in their feelings.

They’re not going to show up on the red carpet and pretend to be lovers just for the sake of it. That’s not who they are, the insider said.

Anderson recently opened up about how she made Neeson fall in love with her. You can read more about this in our article.
