Pamela Anderson, known for her role in Baywatch, has had a colorful personal life, having been married six times since her first union with Tommy Lee in 1995. Despite her brief marriage to Hollywood producer Jon Peters, who she wed for only 12 days in January 2020, the 79-year-old has announced that he plans to leave Anderson an astounding $10 million in his will—a decision rooted in deep affection.
Over the years, Anderson’s marital history has been a topic of fascination. After divorcing Tommy Lee in 1998, she went on to marry musician Kid Rock from 2006 to 2007. Following this, she tied the knot with poker player Rick Salomon not once but twice—first from 2007 to 2008 and then again in 2014, with the latter union ending a year later. Her most recent marriage to her bodyguard, Dan Hayhurst, began in December 2020 but ended within a year.
While her marriages have often been short-lived, Jon Peters has demonstrated his enduring care for Anderson. Speaking to Variety, he revealed his decision to bequeath her the substantial sum, saying, “I will always love Pamela, always in my heart. I left her $10 million in my will. She doesn’t even know that.” Peters expressed that his decision was made purely out of love, whether she needed the money or not.
Fans reacted humorously and warmly to the news. One quipped, “Where can I find one of these ex-husbands? Asking for a friend…” while another noted, “He obviously loved his lady and is taking care of her at the end of his life journey.”
The announcement coincided with Anderson’s promotion of her memoir Love, Pamela, where she shared excerpts about her life and career. Alongside this revelation about Peters’ generosity, Anderson made headlines with claims about a past encounter with actor Tim Allen during her time on Home Improvement. According to Anderson, on the first day of filming, Allen exposed himself to her as a supposed joke. The alleged incident has sparked controversy, with Allen firmly denying the claim, stating, “No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing.”
Despite the brief nature of Anderson and Peters’ marriage, their relationship spans decades. Having known each other for over 20 years before their whirlwind marriage, they parted ways amicably. Anderson later clarified that their union was never legally binding but emphasized that there were no hard feelings between them.
Peters’ decision to leave Anderson such a significant inheritance highlights the deep bond they shared, even if their marriage was fleeting. As he stated in his interview, “I probably shouldn’t be saying it. So that’s for her, whether she needs it or not.” His act of generosity has only added to the intrigue surrounding Anderson’s life and relationships.
