During a Jan. 9 appearance on Sirius XM’s Andy Cohen Live, Baywatch alum Pamela Anderson opened up about her current relationship with ex Tommy Lee.

If you don’t remember, Pamela Anderson and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee had a whirlwind romance in the ’90s that led to a tumultuous marriage and, ultimately, a divorce. They share two adult sons, Brandon and Dylan, and have gotten back to being friends over the years. However, Anderson said that they are having “kind of a moment” and are not on the best terms right now.

The two finalized their divorce in 1998, and have moved on with other people. Lee is now married to comedian Brittany Furlan, while Anderson is single after a string of marriages and divorces. “We used to talk a lot more,” she admitted in a recent interview. “Not recently, unfortunately, but you know, I wish we did have a better rapport right now.”

However, there is no bad blood, and Anderson hopes they will reconnect someday, especially if there are grandchildren in the mix. Their son Dylan recently got engaged to longtime girlfriend Paula Bruss, so, Anderson explained, “We’re gonna have grandkids together. It’ll be OK, eventually. It’s just kind of a moment right now.”

“My relationship with Tommy may have been the only time I was ever truly in love,” Anderson wrote in her memoir, but  it doesn’t seem like jealousy is a factor. She has gushed about how much she likes Lee’s wife and has said, “He’s married and happy, and she’s good to him. And I totally support that.”

Only time will tell if they will all be one big happy family again, especially if Dylan or Brandon start procreating.
