The rock band member and the Baywatch actress welcomed their first son, Brandon Thomas, in 1996. Their second son, Dylan Jagger, was born in 1997.
In February 1998, Anderson filed for divorce shortly after Lee was sent to jail for reportedly abusing her and her son. However, their romance was far from over, as they reconnected and dated from 2008 to 2010.
In her memoir, Love, Pamela, the actress stated that Tommy Lee was the only man she had ever truly been in love with. Speaking about the divorce, Pamela Anderson revealed:
The divorce from Tommy was the hardest, lowest, most difficult point of my life. I was crushed. I still couldn't believe that the person I loved the most was capable of what had happened that night. We were both devastated, but I had to protect my babies.
