Here’s why ‘Liam Neeson first wife’ is trending
Oscar-nominated actor Liam Neeson‘s new romantic interest is making headlines, prompting fans to revisit his poignant love story with his late wife, Natasha Richardson. Neeson was married to Richardson for 15 years before she passed away in 2009.
Neeson and Richardson first met in 1993 while working together as young actors on the Broadway production of Anna Christie. Their captivating on-stage chemistry blossomed into a real-life romance, and they married in July 1994.
Over the years, Neeson has shared glimpses into how Richardson cherished their relationship with surprises and, occasionally, firm ultimatums. The Schindler’s List actor once recounted a memorable warning Richardson gave before they wed.
He explained that he was being considered for the role of James Bond, among others, but his fiancée set a clear boundary that may have shaped his choice. Neeson told James Corden, “I know they were looking at various actors, and I apparently was among them. However, my dear, departed wife said to me, ‘Darling, if you’re offered James Bond and you’re going to play it, you’re not going to marry me.'”
After their marriage, the couple welcomed two sons, Michéal in 1995 and Daniel in 1996. After fifteen years of marital happiness, Richardson tragically died in 2009 from a brain injury sustained in a skiing accident.
Almost two decades since Richardson’s death, Neeson is reportedly warming to his Naked Gun co-star, Pamela Anderson. As per People, “It’s a budding romance in the early stages. It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other.” The celebrity pair is focusing on “enjoying each other’s company.”
Another source told Page Six, Anderson found Neeson “attractive and interesting.” The insider claimed, “They are figuring things out along the way. It’s fun to watch.”
