Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s children are grown.
Former Baywatch the actress and Mötley Crüe musician had a whirlwind romance in the 90s. Four days after meeting, the two tied the knot on February 19, 1995, during a beach wedding.
During their three-year marriage, the couple also became parents as they had sons, Brandon Thomas and Dylan Jagger.
Although the couple eventually ended their marriage in 1998 — with Anderson calling their divorce “the hardest, lowest, hardest point of my life” in her memoir Love, Pamela — noted that two decades later, she and Lee still “make out, every now and then.”
“Tommy is the father of my children and I am forever grateful,” she wrote in an excerpt from the book shared exclusively with PEOPLE.

“There was Tommy and then there was no one else. He was the love of my life. We had wild and crazy beginnings that were too much for both of us,” Anderson told PEOPLE in 2015. “It really was love at first sight . I only knew him four days before I married him.”
“I had beautiful children with him,” she added. “My children are grateful that they were born out of true love. Everything else I was trying to piece together.”
While their sons are building their own careers in the entertainment industry, Anderson and Lee have made a handful of appearances with their children to support them at various events.

Similarly, Brandon and Dylan also encouraged their parents’ efforts. In April 2022, they both attended the mother’s premiere performance Chicago when she made her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart. They were with Anderson at the premiere of her Netflix documentary Pamela, a love story.
Talking to PEOPLE exclusively about his memoir Love, Pamela in January 2023, she noted that her children inspired her to tell her story.
“Brandon and Dylan are true miracles, given their genetic makeup,” she wrote in her book. “They’ve been through so much and yet they’re not full of holes.”
“They saved me,” she said of raising her sons after her divorce from Lee. “I don’t want to put it on my kids, but having kids changed everything. I loved every moment.”

Anderson and Lee became parents when they welcomed their son, Brandon Thomas Lee, on June 5, 1996. Brandon followed in his famous mother’s footsteps as an actor, appearing in films Sierra Burgess is a loser (2018) and Cosmic sin (2021). He also starred in reality television series The Hills: New Beginnings (2019 – 2021).
After news of his role The Hills: New Beginnings, he was supported by both parents. “It’s his journey,” Anderson said Us Weekly. “He’s unbeatable. Brandon can do anything. People say to him, ‘You shouldn’t be doing that,’ but he’s such a talented actor… He’s on his way and he’s going to have a great time and I’m sure he’s going to be very, very funny because it’s so funny.”
Meanwhile, Brandon said Us Weekly that even though his father is “very protective,” he was “excited to see the show [and] see how it turns out.”
In November 2021, Brandon also launched his own clothing line, Swingers Club, which is inspired by retro-chic golf apparel. Anderson and Lee even reunited at their son’s first fashion event in LA
“Golf is a big part of my life, as well as fashion,” Brandon wrote on Instagram about the line. “Up until this point, my dream has been to create a brand that reflects my sense of style combined with the lifestyle I love and enjoy. I can’t wait to show you what’s next!”
In his personal life, Brandon has been linked to some recognizable names, including Bella Thorne, Kathryn Newton and Daniella Beckerman (who appeared with him on The Hills: New Beginnings). He is currently in a relationship with model Lily Easton; the couple celebrated their anniversary in November 2022.
In January 2023, Netflix announced Pamela: A love story, a documentary co-produced by Brandon. He collected two Emmy nominations – but his goal was to “tell the truth” about his mother.
“I basically wanted to bring out the person that she is, the Pamela that nobody knew,” he told PEOPLE in August 2023. “People will come up to her and say things like, ‘I used to not like you, I’d rather think you he did all this for fame and personal gain, but I like you. You’re a real person.’ ”
Brandon added: “Knowing that a film that tells a story can have a real impact on someone’s life is really rewarding.”

Dylan Jagger Lee is Anderson and Lee’s younger son, who was born on December 29, 1997. Taking a page from his mom and dad’s books, he is a model and musician.
He started his modeling career by walking in the Saint Laurent show in 2016, and is currently signed to EWG Management. He has worked with Acne Studios, Armani Exchange, Coach, Dolce & Gabbana, Hugo Boss and True Religion and has been featured in Interview, GQ Russia, NYLON, VMAN, Vogue, W and Wonderland magazines, according to his biography on managing the EWG.
In addition to walking the runway, Dylan was previously in the band Midnight Kids. He announced his departure from the band in January 2021, stating that he plans to “go in a different musical direction”.
He also made music with Anton Khabbaz in the band Motel 7. In June 2021, they released a music video for their song “Are We There Yet”, which was directed by Pierce Brosnan’s son Paris Brosnan.
Speaking to WWD, Dylan said the news that she was in the band came as a shock to his famous father.
“He didn’t even know I was in the band until four days ago,” he told the publication at the time. “I didn’t tell my parents anything, I try to keep them away from it as much as possible. He was pretty mad when he found out. He said, ‘Dude, what the fuck? You didn’t ‘don’t tell me you sang is–t, that’s so stupid. What the f–k?’ And then I said, ‘Yeah, I’m pretty quiet.’ ”
During her PEOPLE 2023 cover story, Anderson spoke candidly about her sons’ personalities, noting that Dylan is “more introspective, more Zen” than his older brother.
On Dylan’s 26th birthday, Anderson wrote a sweet post about her son on Instagram.
“I am so grateful and proud of all that you are,” she wrote. “A romantic soul, brave, patient and kind … Blessed with unique beauty, talent, style and rhythm. A smile that lights up any room.”
