As reported by The Hollywood Reporter in 2020, Pamela Anderson and Jon Peters had a private ceremony in Malibu after first dating more than 30 years ago.
Despite their short-lived "marriage", which Anderson later clarified was more of a symbolic union as opposed to a legal one, Peters is set to leave a huge amount to the Baywatch icon in his will.
Speaking to Variety in January 2023, the 57-year-old actress shared warm sentiments about Peters, stating: "He's great and has been a huge influence on my life. I love him to death."
Peters, 79, echoed this affection, revealing his generous financial gesture for Anderson — a fact previously unknown to her.

"I will always love Pamela, always in my heart. As a matter of fact, I left her $10 million in my will. And she doesn't even know that. Nobody knows that. I'm just saying it for the first time with you," Peters confided to the interviewer.
This revelation comes on the heels of their headline-grabbing, fleeting "marriage", which was more a blip on the radar of both stars' eventful lives.
Peters had previously expressed to The Hollywood Reporter his deep admiration for Anderson's unexplored potential as an artist, saying: "Pamela has never seen her full potential as an artist. She has yet to shine in a real way. There is much more to her than meets the eye, or I wouldn't love her so much."
Despite the union being called off shortly after it began, with Anderson affirming to THR that no formal marriage paperwork was ever filed, the respect and admiration between the two have evidently endured.
Anderson described their decision to part ways as a mutual step back to reflect on their individual desires from life and relationships.
"I have been moved by the warm reception to Jon and my union. We would be very grateful for your support as we take some time apart to reevaluate what we want from life and from one another. Life is a journey and love is a process," she said at the time.

"With that universal truth in mind, we have mutually decided to put off the formalization of our marriage certificate and put our faith in the process. Thank you for respecting our privacy."
Currently single, Anderson resides in her grandparents' former farmhouse on Vancouver Island, a serene retreat populated by her five dogs, her garden, and the tranquil sea.
