From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Pamela Anderson wed her bodyguard, Dan Hayhurst, in a secret ceremony on Christmas Eve.

The couple reportedly got married at Anderson's home on Vancouver Island in Canada.

“I was married on the property I bought from my grandparents 25 years ago, this is where my parents were married and they are still together,” she told The Daily Mail, which also exclusively published photos of the ceremony. 

“I feel like I’ve come full circle. I think this romantic property has a lot of healing energy. I’m at peace here. It’s a big property, but a few people passing by could see the fairytale gown with the long Princess Diana veil dragging in the mud. Heaven.”

“I’m exactly where I need to be – in the arms of a man who truly loves me,” she added.

Page Six reported that the Baywatch star, 53, was dating Hayhurst in September 2020.

“He’s in his 40s. A real man, finally,” a friend of Anderson’s told Page Six of Hayhurst at the time. “He knows how to handle her. It’s very cool to see. She’s completely comfortable, and they’re never out of each other’s sight.”

This is technically Anderson's fifth marriage; she was first married to rocker Tommy Lee in the 1990s, followed by Kid Rock (they divorced in 2006). Anderson then married music producer Rick Salomon twice (first in 2007, then again in 2012). 

Anderson's most recent marriage was to film producer Jon Peters in 2020, though their union only lasted 12 days. The star claimed it was only a “mock ceremony" and not a legal wedding, The Sun reported.
