Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson thrilled the world by revealing their budding romance and it seems they already have their family’s approval.

The actors hit it off while on the set of the new Naked Gun reboot, with their on-screen chemistry continuing behind the scenes.

They’ve kept things coy with the Taken legend, 73, describing the Baywatch icon, 58, as ‘gorgeous’ and praised her ‘silliness’.

Sources have said the romance is still in its early stages and the pair are ‘figuring it out’ but things appear to be going well.

Pamela posted a series of snaps of them together in a playful photoshoot, encouraging fans to take their ‘friends, family, lovers’ to see Naked Gun.

The cute pictures prompted a response from Liam’s son Daniel Jack Neeson, 29, who posted a string of emoji in the comments.

He shared two hands raised in celebration, two fires, two white hearts, and a water pistol — so safe to say Daniel is fully embracing the couple.

Meanwhile, Joley Richardson also shared her support, commenting seven red heart emojis on the Instagram post.

Joely is the sister of actress Natasha Richardson, Liam’s wife, who died in 2009 at the age of 45 from a shock accident while on a skiing holiday.

Together, Liam and Natasha had two children during their 15-year marriage: Micheál and Daniel.

Previously, Pamela’s son, Brandon Thomas Lee, commented that the duo were ‘having a great time’ on the press tour.

‘It’s fun to see them be, you know, good castmates [and] have a good time,’ the 29-year-old producer told Access Hollywood.
