Anderson was most recently linked to Liam Neeson, 73, her co-star in the Naked Gun movie reboot.<\/p>\n
Romance rumours surrounding the pair intensified during the film\u2019s promotional tour last summer after the two appeared affectionate during interviews and red carpet appearances.<\/p>\n
At the time, a source told Page Six that Anderson and Neeson were \u201cfiguring things out\u201d.<\/p>\n
In December, Anderson addressed the speculation directly and confirmed the pair had briefly dated after production on the comedy had ended.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cWe were romantically involved for a short while but only after we finished filming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anderson also said: \u201cI\u2019m sure we\u2019ll always be in each other\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cruise, meanwhile, remains one of Hollywood\u2019s most closely watched stars following the continued success of the Mission: Impossible franchise and ongoing anticipation surrounding the actor\u2019s next projects after Mission: Impossible \u2013 The Final Reckoning.<\/p>\n
Recent reports on his love life linked Cruise to actor Ana de Armas, 38, with claims the pair dated for several months before reportedly separating in October.<\/p>\n
According to reports, de Armas became \u201cuncomfortable\u201d with \u201chow fast things were moving in their relationship\u201d.<\/p>\n
Anderson has spoken openly in recent years about reclaiming control of her image after decades of tabloid scrutiny during her marriage to Tommy Lee, 63, and the fallout from the release of the couple\u2019s private sex tape in the 1990s.<\/p>\n
Her documentary Pamela, A Love Story revisited the period while also addressing the success of Baywatch, which turned her into one of the most recognisable television stars in the world during the 1990s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another insider told the National Enquirer that Cruise had taken notice of Anderson after seeing her work in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":432598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[37111,3376,6876,534,95,50543,665,430,22773,2037,156,5504,226,4223,685,424,110982,2882,1446,111,139,69,180599,17182,5714,16784,24602,22161,9871,177491,5134,102],"class_list":["post-432597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-acclaimed","tag-actor","tag-actress","tag-amid","tag-and","tag-anderson","tag-around","tag-celebrities","tag-comeback","tag-cruise","tag-entertainment","tag-following","tag-growing","tag-hollywood","tag-last","tag-life","tag-linking","tag-love","tag-making","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-pamela","tag-reportedly","tag-romance","tag-room","tag-rumours","tag-showgirl","tag-speculation","tag-swirl","tag-tom","tag-with"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=432597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/432598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=432597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=432597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=432597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
