Pamela Anderson’s short-lived husbandJon Petersis leaving behind a large sum for her in his will.
TheBaywatchalum and the film producer were hitched for 12 days back in 2020, though she later clarified thatthey were never legally marriedbut remained friends.
In a newinterview withVariety, Anderson, 55, said of Peters, “He’s great and has been a huge influence on my life. I love him to death.” Additionally, Peters, 77, revealed to the outlet he’s giving her $10 million in his will — “whether she needs it or not.”
He said, “I will always love Pamela, always in my heart. As a matter of fact, I left her $10 million in my will. And she doesn’t even know that. Nobody knows that. I’m just saying it for the first time with you. I probably shouldn’t be saying it. So that’s for her, whether she needs it or not.”

After their surprise nuptials in 2020, Peters toldThe Hollywood Reporter, “Pamela has never seen her full potential as an artist. She has yet to shine in a real way. There is much more to her than meets the eye, or I wouldn’t love her so much. There are beautiful girls everywhere. I could have my pick, but — for 35 years — I’ve only wanted Pamela. She makes me wild — in a good way. She inspires me. I protect her and treat her the way she deserves to be treated.”
Days later, Andersonconfirmed toTHRthatthey called off the unionand never formally filed paperwork.

Later that year, Anderson asserted that she was “never legally married” to Peters, adding in a statement on social media that Peters is a “lifelong family friend.” She added, “No hard feelings - no Marriage, no Divorce…just a bizarre theatrical lunch.”
Her new memoir,Love, Pamela, excerpted exclusively in this week’s PEOPLE, and a new Netflix documentary,Pamela: a Love Story, are both out Jan. 31.
