To many fans, the surprise romance between actor Liam Neeson and former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson is the feel-good story they didn't know they needed.
Suddenly, the couple (they are dating, according to People) are everywhere, appearing on podcasts and flirting heavily for the cameras. They even appeared on the red carpet together with their respective sons.
So, it's not surprising that a big move Neeson just made is getting attention.
For years, one of Neeson's key residences was his New York City apartment.
He called the apartment home with his wife, Natasha Richardson, and their two sons, before Richardson died after a tragic fall on a ski vacation.
According to the New York Post, Neeson sold the Lincoln Square home for $10.3 million, property records filed on Aug. 4 revealed.
It's not clear why the actor decided to put the home on the market. However, he's been trying to sell it since 2024. According to the Post, the home's asking price was originally $12.75 million in early 2024.
The Post reported that the dwelling is 4,524 square feet, has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, and is located "on the 28th floor of the tower at 111 W. 67th St."
However, Neeson has not used the Manhattan pad as his primary residence.
According to Robb Report, Neeson used the Manhattan penthouse as a secondary home because he has a primary residence, which is a farmhouse, in Millbrook, N.Y.
The real estate listing described the Manhattan penthouse in detail.
"Just one block from Central Park, high above Lincoln Square, this home enjoys epic vistas from an unbeatable location," the listing for the penthouse, which has now been taken down, said.
"Upon entering, a grand foyer and wide entry gallery provide an ideal space to showcase your finest artwork. The light-flooded, massive, corner Great Room is a true showstopper, with elegant custom millwork and double exposures offering exceptional views of the park," it read.
For her part, Anderson has renovated her grandparents' home on Vancouver Island.
Liam Neeson's love life
Keep reading for everything you ever wanted to know about Liam Neeson's love life.
Helen Mirren (1980-1985)
Neeson loves to date a co-star. After meeting on the set of Excalibur, he and and Mirren — the Morgana La Fay to his Gawain — were together for four years. Neeson described his first time seeing Mirren (and being floored by her beauty) on an appearance on The Graham Norton Show. Sitting next to him on the couch, Mirren said, "We didn't [just] date. We lived together." More recently, in a 2022 interview, Mirren said that she still loves him "deeply."
Julia Roberts (1987-1988)
Another leading lady wooed, although this was a more short-lived dalliance that immediately followed their movie, Satisfaction, Roberts's first credited big-screen role. She was 19 at the time; he was 35.
Barbra Streisand (1991-1992)
We don't know much about this relationship, since it was kept very private. But, as Tefi points out, "Barbra Streisand is the center of the universe on most days," and that's also the case when it comes to Neeson's relationship with Anderson. Now, stay with us here:
"If you're wondering how all of this relates to each other, the Venn diagram of this episode is also a circle. At the center of all this is Barbra Streisand. Barbra Streisand also dated Jon Peters, who married Pamela Anderson, who is dating Liam Neeson, who dated Barbra Streisand, but ended up marrying Natasha Richardson, who was Lindsay Lohan's onscreen mom in The Parent Trap. And this is what we love about culture. Liam is 73; Barbara Streisand is 83. Barbra Streisand has a roster."
Brooke Shields (1992)
These two had sort of a bonkers whirlwind romance — as Shields put it in her memoir, There Was a Little Girl: The Real Story of My Mother and Me: "He wooed me with his brogue, his poetry, and his shitty choice of cheap Pinot Grigio wine." Three months into dating, he proposed without a ring — which, as Tefi sagely puts it, "gives me an indicator that there was shitty Pinot Grigio wine involved." After proposing, Shields wrote that Neeson basically ghosted her. But as she told People in 2014, that wasn't actually the end of their relationship. "He came back after the first time he left me and asked me to marry him again," she said. "This was before he started to do a play [Anna Christie]. And I said, 'No, no, no, because knowing you, you'll probably fall in love with your next leading lady and marry her, so I'm leaving myself out of this.' And I was dead right."
Natasha Richardson (1993-2009)
This brings us to Richardson, who it's probably fair to say was the love of Neeson's life. After they starred in Anna Christie together, as Tefi puts it: "Their significant others are doomed. Sometimes you can just see chemistry." Richardson was married to producer Bob Fox at the time. Tefi's take: "She calls the beginning of her relationship with Liam Neeson 'bad timing.' That's what cheaters say, and I'm okay with it. Natasha says that their connection was undeniable, which is [also] what cheaters say."
They got married in 1994 and were together until Richardson died in a tragic skiing accident in 2009. In 2020, Neeson spoke to Inquirer.net about the loss. "I speak to her every day at her grave, which is about a mile and half down the road," he said. "I go down there quite often, so I do speak to her as if she's here." Last year, he told People that he was done dating, explaining, "I'm past all that" in an interview that took place just before he began work on Naked Gun.
