Overview

  • In a Variety interview, Cain said his 1993 six-month relationship with Anderson “burned hot and short” and that he holds fond memories of their time together.
  • He attributed their breakup to Anderson’s desire for the excitement of a “rock-star kind of guy,” which he felt he did not embody.
  • Anderson’s fling with Cain followed her Baywatch breakthrough and preceded five marriages, including to Tommy Lee, Kid Rock and Rick Salomon.
  • Cain, who has never married, later became engaged to Mindy McCready and fought a custody battle to secure full legal and physical custody of his son with Samantha Torres.
  • On- and off-screen chemistry has led to confirmation of an early-stage romance between Anderson and Liam Neeson, with Neeson telling People “I’m madly in love with her.”
