Baywatch star, Pamela Anderson married her bodyguard in a secret ceremony on Christmas Eve in her home town in Canada. The famous movie start and ex-Playboy bunny fell in love with her protector during the COVID-19 lockdown.
News of Anderson’s latest marriage – sixth time is the charm, it seems, came a day after the celebrity announced she is stepping away from social media. The Baywatch babe is now a vegan and devotes her activities towards environmentalism and spirituality.
The lucky bodyguard, Dan Hayhurst, also hails from Anderson’s hometown Ladysmith, Vancouver Island. He was originally hired as a builder on her property. Anderson is living on the east coast of Vancouver Island, since July 2019.
She took over the property from her parents and since poured more than a USD 1 million into renovating the place. Cupid’s arrow struck during this period – while Hayhurst and his daughter worked on the renovations.
“He’s a builder by trade and he was hired to be my bodyguard and we spent 24/7 together and we just kind of grew on each other,” Anderson says.
However, not everyone is happy about these developments, as Hayhurst’s ex-partner and mother of his child accuses Anderson of stealing her boyfriend.
The ceremony in which Pamela Anderson married her bodyguard seems to align with her new-found spirituality as it had the blessing of the Canadian First Nation. The couple tied the knot in a muddy field, with the sounds of the Paddle Song, a native drum song that signifies a new journey.
