Who is Pamela Anderson’s ex-boyfriend Adil Rami and why did the French footballer and Baywatch actress split?
PAMELA ANDERSON has split up with French boyfriend Adil Rami after leaving the bright lights of Hollywood to move in with him.
The former Baywatch actress barely spoke the language and the couple has reportedly now decided to call it quits.
Who is Adil Rami?
Born in Corsica to Morrocan parents, Rami moved to mainland France as a child and lived in the south coast town of Frejus.
An imposing, strong centre-back, he made his name with the local side before cementing himself as one of the brightest talents in Europe - earning big money moves to clubs in his native France, Italy, and Spain.
He won the Europa League with Sevilla in 2016 and has a Ligue 1 title to his name with Lille.
Rami now plies his trade at Marseille.
How long had he been dating Pamela Anderson?
Rami and Pamela Anderson were first introduced at the Monaco Grand Prix back in May 2017.
Despite the Marseille centre-back speaking little to no English, Anderson described their relationship as "having the [right] body language" and claimed it helped her beat loneliness.
With an age difference of 18 years, she says he referred to her as an "alien" over her age-defying looks.
Pamela revealed: "He says 'Come on, you must be 30, not 50.
"Show me your driver’s licence, this is impossible, impossible!
"There are plenty of girls younger than you, how do you do this?
"We want to protect our love. There are a lot of fake and phony relationships out there, people just trying to get noticed."
Anderson was first spotted watching Rami play for Marseille against Domzale FC in August 2018, but wasn't a lucky charm as the Frenchman was forced off through injury in the 23rd minute.
Why has Pamela Anderson split up with Adil Rami?
On June 25, Pamela announced her split from Adil Rami.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, with an accompanying black and white photo of the two, the blonde beauty revealed that Rami had been living a double life for two years.
The actress told her fans that her relationship with the footballer had officially ended, due to an ongoing affair that Rami was having behind her back.
To make matters worse, Pamela thinks it was with more than one woman.
Underneath a glamorous black-and-white photo of the couple in happier times, she wrote: “The last (more than 2 years) of my life have been a big lie.
“I was scammed…led to believe we were in a big love, I’m devastated to find out in the last few days, that he was living a double life.

“He used to joke about other players, who had girlfriends down the street in apartments close to their wives, he called those men monsters.
“But this is worse. He lied to all.
"How is it possible to control two women’s hearts and minds like this.
"I’m sure there were others. He is the monster."
She previously split with the football star after rejecting his marriage proposal in September, but the duo reconciled by March, 2019.
Now, it seems there's no going back - Pamela is officially done with Adil.
