Sister of Liam Neeson’s late wife reacts amid rumors of romance with Pamela Anderson

People have been praising the sister of Natasha Richardson, Liam Neeson's late wife, after she commented on a snap of him and Pamela Anderson.

Neeson takes on the leading role in the latest Naked Gun film, but while the comedy seems to have done well in its opening weekend, fans are a little more focused on something else.

Pamela Anderson also stars in the film and together with Neeson the pair have been promoting the flick, which sparked questions of a budding relationship.

This has also been bolstered by the fact that somewhere along the film, their two characters become romantically involved and the actors’ chemistry has been so good people are insisting the pair must be a couple in real life too.

In a new Instagram post from Anderson promoting the film, fans continued to insist the pair make a cute couple as they looked to be getting cosy with each other.

She captioned the image of her and Neeson: “The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, family, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it’s good for you! I’ll see you there.”

Neeson tragically lost his first wife Natasha back in 2009 after sustaining a head injury in a skiing accident, and her sister, Joely Richardson, has seemingly shown her support for the potential new romance.

On the post, Joely simply commented seven heart emojis.

The pair haven’t exactly given fans a clear cut answer about their relationship, however, and this has made fans even more curious.

TODAY show host Craig Melvin decided to ask Anderson and Neeson about it when they appeared on the show on July 31 and Neeson’s answer left fans with even more questions.

Melvin said: “What’s the deal here? You’re both single right now. There’s clearly chemistry on display throughout this film. Are you two an item?”

Neeson initially showed shock as he responded: "Craig!", while Anderson said: “What? I don’t understand the question.”

They did go on to offer a few more details, but their answer unfortunately wasn't quite as straightforward as fans might have hoped.

Neeson said: “I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry — as two actors.

"It’s like, ‘Oh, this is nice. Let’s not mold this. Let’s just let it breathe. And that’s what we did.”

So people will likely have to speculate for a little while longer until the pair confirm.
