Dean Cain Reflects on Brief 1993 Pamela Anderson Romance

Dean Cain reflected on his brief six-month romance with Pamela Anderson, describing it as a 'candle burned hot and short' due to their differing relationship desires; Anderson sought a 'rock-star kind of guy,' a persona Cain said he did not fit. Their relationship began in 1993, when Anderson was rising to fame from Baywatch and Cain was starring in Lois & Clark. Cain shared fond memories of their time together despite the split, and later discussed other relationships, including an engagement to Mindy McCready and a complicated custody battle with Samantha Torres over their son Christopher. Anderson went on to marry five times, including to Tommy Lee, Kid Rock, and Rick Salomon, and recently made headlines for her on-screen chemistry with Liam Neeson in the reboot of The Naked Gun. Cain, who has never been married, remains focused on his son and has softened past tensions with Torres, becoming the godfather to her twins. The ongoing public interest in Anderson’s relationships and career contrasts with Cain’s more private personal life.
