Pamela Anderson is a mother of two and has been married five times, twice to the same man. She previously got candid about going through her first divorce from the father of her kids and said the children saved her.

Pamela has two sons, Brandon Thomas, aged 27, and Dylan Jagger Lee, aged 25. In February 2023, Dylan promoted his famous mother's new documentary on his Instagram account.

"'Pamela, A Love Story' is finally out for the world to see. I'm beyond proud of my mom and my family. Let the truth be told," Dylan captioned his post alongside a photo of himself posing with his hands in his pocket.

He wore a black suit with a white unbuttoned shirt and sunglasses. His dark hair was parted in the middle, and he sported a mustache. Instagram users were quick to point out how Pamela's son had an uncanny resemblance to a famous actor.

"Her son Dylan looks like Johnny Depp," said one online user. "I think Pam did something with @johnnydepp. Is this your son Johnny," wrote another Instagram follower. Another person noted that one of Pamela's sons does look like the movie star, writing, "You look like Johnny Depp or what ya say, you look cool."

A third social media user echoed the same sentiments, saying, "This is giving me young Johnny Depp vibes." Someone else admitted, "Me thinking this was Johnny Depp," alongside laughing emojis.

As much as the actress's son looks like Johnny, Pamela welcomed her sons with her ex-husband. The movie star was first married to musician Tommy Lee, with whom she welcomed her sons. The couple, who had a whirlwind romance, wed in 1995 after four days of meeting at a beach in Cancun.

They had their first child together, Brandon, a year later, in June 1996. Their second child, Dylan, was born the following year in December. A year later, in 1998, Pamela and Tommy divorced.

The pair had marital issues involving spousal abuse, with Tommy being charged with the crime and serving six months in jail the same year Pamela filed for divorce.

In her memoir, "Love, Pamela," the blonde beauty frankly opened up about her split with the father of her kids. She described the situation as one of the "hardest, lowest, most difficult points" in her life. She further expressed that she was "crushed" by Tommy's actions toward her, adding that they were both shattered by what had transpired between them but that she had to "protect" her children.

The model said she felt as if she and the rocker failed their offspring somehow and could have possibly worked something out. She also found it hard to forgive herself.

However, the doting mom insisted that filing for divorce was the right thing to do because she could not tolerate violence and did not want that kind of treatment for her kids.

Several years later, the mother of two spoke candidly about her boys, whom she focused on raising, in her memoir, "Love, Pamela: A Memoir of Prose, Poetry, and Truth."

"Brandon and Dylan are true miracles, considering their gene pool. They have been through so much, yet they are not full of holes," Pamela admitted, adding, "They saved me. I don't want to put that on my kids but having children changed everything. I've loved every moment."

Over twenty years later, Tommy still checks in with Pamela and the former couple's now-all-grown-up sons occasionally. "Tommy is the father of my kids, and I'm forever grateful," his ex-wife penned.

In an August 2015 interview, Pamela admitted that Tommy was the love of her life and that it was love at first sight for her. As for their kids, they are thankful they were conceived by two people who truly loved each other. "Everything else I was trying to piece together," the activist admitted.

After becoming a mom, Pamela revealed that she took on fewer acting gigs to give her children her undivided attention. She did not have nannies to help her out. The "Baywatch" alum's main priority was caring for and being there for Brandon and Dylan.

Pamela raised her sons in Malibu and later sent them off to boarding school on Vancouver Island, away from the prying eyes of Hollywood. Still, the siblings were made aware that they were not from a normal family growing up, thanks to the paparazzi.

In a joint interview in June 2019, Brandon and Dylan were asked when they realized they were raised by famous parents. Brandon recalled asking his mother about why people were taking photos of them. He divulged that his mother's reply was, "Oh, they do that to everybody."

Brandon also remembered being with his friend's family, and no one took pictures of them, and he wondered why that was. He also said his mother made it seem like they led average lives.

In June 2019, he was cast in the reboot of the reality TV show, "The Hills," and his beloved mom supported his decision to join the MTV series. Pamela said her firstborn could achieve anything he sets his mind to, describing him as a "talented actor." Meanwhile, Dylan is quite happy that he is Brandon's younger brother. "Brandon was always the test dummy for me. I learned from all of his mistakes," he once said.

Brandon is doing a stellar job as a producer too. He produced the Netflix documentary about his mom titled, "Pamela, A Love Story," and earned two Emmy Award nominations for Best Documentary or Nonfiction Special and Best Documentary Music Composition for it.

While Brandon has found his footing with his career, Pamela and Tommy's youngest son, Dylan, is a model and a musician. Dylan launched his modeling career in 2016, walking the catwalk at the Saint Laurant show. He is also part of a band called Midnight Kids, which released its debut eight-song EP, "The Lost Youth," in 2020.
