Pamela Anderson may be known for her modeling and acting career, but she is also a mother to sons Brandon Lee and Dylan Lee.
Anderson and ex Tommy Lee tied the knot in February 1995 and welcomed sons Brandon and Dylan in 1996 and 1997, respectively. The pair divorced in 1998 after only three years of marriage.
The Baywatch actress previously admitted that her sons “saved” her after her tumultuous divorce with Lee.
“I don’t want to put that on my kids but having children changed everything. I’ve loved every moment,” she gushed to People in January 2023. “Brandon and Dylan are true miracles, considering their gene pool. They have been through so much, yet they are not full of holes.”

Anderson and Tommy welcomed their first child, son Brandon, on June 5, 1996. Brandon followed in Anderson’s footsteps and began starring on screen in projects such as 2017’s Baywatch, 2021’s Cosmic Sin and 2023’s God is a Bullet. The actor also starred in the reality series The Hills: New Beginnings, which ran from 2019 to 2021.
“I would say most people know nothing about me, so I thought that was a good opportunity to show them what my life’s really like, and that I might not just be some famous person’s kid that runs around doing whatever he wants,” Brandon told Us in June 2019 regarding his willingness to star in The Hills spinoff. “I have a life. I have a job. I have businesses. I have things that I’m doing.”
Brandon also has ventured into producing and even coproduced Anderson’s documentary, Pamela: A Love Story, in January 2023 and 2024’s The Last Showgirl, which earned the actress her first SAG Award nomination.

“I like to stay behind the scenes, especially with my mom,” Brandon said in a Variety interview in February 2025. “The beautiful thing about being able to be behind the scenes is I get to watch the general tide turn around her in the industry, and the impact she’s had across pop culture. From the business perspective, I’m incredibly blessed to be able to work for my family and do all these incredible things. I’ve always known her the way that everyone’s seeing her now.”
In his dating life, Brandon has been linked to high-profile names such as Bella Thorne, Kathryn Newton, Daniella Beckerman and Lily Easton.

Anderson and Tommy’s younger son, Dylan, was born on December 29, 1997. Dylan also followed in his parents’ footsteps and is a model and musician.
Dylan started his modeling career when he walked in the Saint Laurent 2016 show and has worked with Acne Studios, Armani Exchange, Coach, Dolce & Gabbana, Hugo Boss and True Religion, according to his EWG Management profile.
“It just happened! I told my mom that some guy named Heidi Slimane wanted to meet me, but I had no idea who he was,” Dylan recalled to Fashion Week Daily magazine in a March 2017 interview regarding how he got started with modeling. “My mom was like, ‘I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that name,’ so then I found out he was the creative director at Saint Laurent.”
Dylan noted he was “just a surfer kid who liked going to the beach in swim trunks” when he was discovered and didn’t “really have a fashion sense.”

“Someone reached out to my agency for a casting he was holding, and as soon as I got there, he kicked everyone else out,” he explained to the outlet at the time.
In addition to his modeling career, Dylan also started creating music. He joined a band called Midnight Kids in 2021, but later left that group to join Motel 7 with Anton Khabbaz.
“They love it,” Dylan told Us in May 2020 about what his parents think about his music. “Everyone’s excited. Everyone supports the project. Everyone’s, like, gung ho about it.”
Aside from modeling and music, Dylan has also been in a longtime relationship with his fiancée, Paula Bruss, who is an architectural designer. Dylan announced on social media that the pair were engaged in July 2024.
“Till the end ,” he captioned pictures from their beach proposal via Instagram.
