Pamela Anderson celebrates wedding news at 59: 'It's an emotional moment'
Pamela Anderson is celebrating a new addition to her family after her youngest son, Dylan, tied the knot with longtime girlfriend, interior designer Paula Bruss, in Saint-Tropez. The 59-year-old star described the intimate ceremony, held at a private villa in Les Parcs, Saint-Tropez, as an "emotional moment."
"Dylan is a beautiful soul – he really is a grounding force in all of our lives," Pamela shared. "He and Paula are an undeniable match. They are a wonderful artistic couple, and we are so blessed to share our families."
She continued, "I'm so happy for Dylan and so excited to send him off into the wild world. It's an emotional moment. Tears are catching me off guard at times – happy tears. But as Khalil Gibran says, 'As parents, we are the bow from which life springs.'"
The couple exchanged vows in the same location where they got engaged. Dylan reflected on the day, stating, "We felt pure happiness. Looking around and seeing everyone we love gathered together in one place was overwhelming in the best possible way. There was so much excitement and love in the air. Being one of the first among many of our friends to get married made the day feel especially meaningful, and we truly tried to soak in every second together."
He added, "The service was peaceful and sentimental. Seeing my beautiful wife walking down the aisle and reciting my vows in the middle of the most beautiful wildflower garden was a dream come true."
Paula also commented, "Neither of us had ever been to a wedding before. Waiting two years for that moment made it feel even more magical."
For her special day, Paula wore a custom gown designed by Fernando Garcia for Oscar de la Renta. According to Vogue, Paula, her mother, and Pamela collaborated closely with the fashion house, drawing inspiration from "classic French cinema, Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face, and archival runway collections."
"I had always envisioned being in ballet flats or barefoot down the aisle," Paula revealed. "So we kept the front of the dress shorter but kept the long train in the back to give it that princess look. Every fitting felt special. And together we created something that felt timeless while still feeling completely like me."
Pamela, meanwhile, sported a custom mustard brocade dress with a small cape, also by Oscar de la Renta, noting, "Fernando has been a friend for a long time."
Alongside Dylan, Pamela shares son Brandon with her ex-husband, Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee. Both sons were present at the wedding. Pamela and Tommy Lee divorced in 1998, leading to a years-long custody battle for their sons, which was resolved in 2002 with joint custody.
Brandon, 30, has followed in his famous parents' footsteps, pursuing a career as an actor, director, and fashion mogul. He launched his fashion line, Swingers Club, inspired by his love of golf, and served as a producer on 'Pamela: A Love Story,' a documentary about his mother, aiming to "tell the truth" about her life. Dylan has also made a name for himself, walking numerous catwalks as a model and performing in a band, much like his father.
