• TMZ reports the actors had no contact from filming’s end in June 2024 until the press tour in July 2025, with no one‑on‑one dinners during that period.
• The oft‑repeated story that Pamela Anderson baked muffins and sourdough for Liam Neeson is described by TMZ sources as a fabricated talking point.
• Red‑carpet photos with their children and a playful kiss on The Today Show are characterized as staged promotional moments tied to the film rollout.
• Earlier People reporting described a sincere early‑stage romance, but no official confirmation has resolved the dispute as the film’s gross nears $88 million on a roughly $45 million budget.
