The actress welcomed a new chapter for her family.
SAINT-TROPEZ, FRANCE — July 2026. Pamela Anderson celebrated the marriage of her younger son, Dylan Jagger Lee, to interior designer Paula Bruss with an emotional message shared on social media. The 28-year-old groom posted photographs from the private ceremony and described his new wife as the love of his life. Anderson responded by calling them a charming couple and wishing them blessings as they began an unpredictable new journey together. The wedding brought the actress and her family to an intimate villa in the exclusive Les Parcs area of Saint-Tropez.
The ceremony took place in a garden filled with wildflowers, the same setting where Dylan and Paula became engaged in July 2024. Dylan described the celebration as quiet and sentimental, emphasizing the emotion of watching his bride walk down the aisle before they exchanged vows. He said the moment felt like a dream realized in a place already connected to an important chapter in their relationship. The natural surroundings created a romantic atmosphere centered on family, intimacy and personal history.
Before the wedding, Anderson described the occasion as deeply emotional and expressed happiness about seeing her son enter a new stage of adulthood. She used an image inspired by Lebanese poet Khalil Gibran, describing parents as the bow from which life sends children into the world. The actress also praised Dylan and Paula as a creative couple and said both families felt fortunate to become connected through the marriage. Her public comments reflected pride, affection and the emotional complexity of watching a child build an independent life.
The guest list included Dylan’s father, Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, and his older brother, Brandon Thomas Lee. Their presence brought together the immediate family for one of the most significant moments in Dylan’s personal life. Anderson and Tommy Lee were one of the most closely followed celebrity couples of the 1990s and share both Dylan and Brandon. Despite their complicated history, the family gathered in France to support the newlyweds.
Dylan and Paula’s story began long before their romantic relationship, as they grew up on the same street in Malibu and knew each other during childhood. Their friendship developed into a relationship after they reconnected at a party in 2017. The couple later spent approximately one year apart when Paula moved to New York to study at Parsons School of Design. She eventually returned to Los Angeles, and they remained together from that point forward.
Fashion played a prominent role in the celebration, with Paula wearing an Oscar de la Renta gown designed by Fernando García. The bride collaborated on the creation with García, her mother and Anderson, drawing inspiration from classic French cinema, Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, Audrey Hepburn and archival designs from the fashion house. Anderson also wore Oscar de la Renta, choosing a mustard-colored brocade dress accompanied by a small cape. Dylan completed the ceremony’s aesthetic with a custom suit by Genuardi.
The wedding followed Anderson’s 59th birthday on July 1, which she also celebrated during her stay in France. Dylan marked the occasion by publicly describing her as the best mother in the world and expressing his affection for her. Days later, the actress returned that emotion by honoring his marriage and welcoming Paula into the family. The sequence of celebrations gave Anderson’s French visit a particularly personal significance.
Dylan said seeing everyone he loved gathered in one place was overwhelming in the most positive sense. The ceremony brought together childhood memories, long-standing relationships and two families entering a shared future. For Anderson, the marriage represented both a celebration and a moment of maternal transition as her younger son established his own household. Her message captured the affection of a mother recognizing that a new family story had begun.
Love creates new families while preserving the bonds that came before.
