Pamela Anderson married movie producer Jon Peters after a secret whirlwind romance less than two weeks ago.
But just as quickly as it began, the newlyweds have decided to ‘take some time apart to re-evaluate what [they] want from life and from one another,’ revealed Anderson in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on Saturday.
The pair, having married just twelve days prior in Malibu, hadn’t yet taken care of the necessary legalities needed to obtain a valid marriage certificate.

Her words: ‘We have mutually decided to put off the formalization of our marriage certificate and put our faith in the process. Thank you for respecting our privacy,’ wrote Pamela in an exclusive statement to The Hollywood Reporter
‘I have been moved by the warm reception to Jon and my union,’ continued Anderson.
She expressed how ‘very grateful’ she would be to earn the support of the public, as Peters and herself consciously put a halt on their roles as husband and wife.
‘Life is a journey and love is a process. With that universal truth in mind, we have mutually decided to put off the formalization of our marriage certificate and put our faith in the process. Thank you for respecting our privacy,’ concluded the BayWatch starlet.
The Hollywood Reporter reached out to Peters for comment, but have yet to receive a response to their inquiry.

‘I walked in and saw this little angel sitting at the bar. It was Pammy. She was like 19. I knew she would be a big star,’ recounted Peters’ to THR.
‘We ended up living together. Of course, Hefner loved her and saw her beauty. Pamela was a girl who with no makeup was gorgeous. She was very smart and very talented. I tried to talk her out of doing Playboy. I said, “Don’t do Playboy. Focus on a serious career.” She said, “You’re nuts.” She wanted to do Playboy, and she went on to do 13 covers.’
Peters popped the question to Anderson during their 1980s dating stint, but the blonde bombshell turned him down.
30 year later, Anderson reflected on her thought process during that time period and just how her opinion of the ‘Hollywood bad boy’ was able to evolve over time.
Change of heart: ‘His life used to scare me. So much for a girl like me. Now I’ve seen more of life and realize… he’s been there all along. Never failed me – I’m ready now and he’s ready too,’ said Anderson of Peters on the day of their nuptials
‘Jon is the original “bad boy” of Hollywood – no one compares – I love him deeply like family,’ expressed Anderson in an original poem read during the beachfront ceremony.
‘His life used to scare me. So much for a girl like me. Now I’ve seen more of life and realize… he’s been there all along. Never failed me – I’m ready now and he’s ready too.’
Pamela firmly believed that the pair had a clear ‘understand[ing] and respect’ for one another.
‘We love each other without conditions. – I’m a lucky woman. –Proof God has a plan.’
When The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Peters post-wedding, he explained what exactly brought him to the alter.
Past sentiments: Post-wedding Peters took a moment to gush over his bride, ”There are beautiful girls everywhere. I could have my pick, but – for 35 years – I’ve only wanted Pamela’
‘There are beautiful girls everywhere. I could have my pick, but – for 35 years – I’ve only wanted Pamela,’ Peters told the site. ‘She makes me wild -in a good way.’
‘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.’
As of Saturday, their sentiments have changed.
