At a SiriusXM Town Hall event in New York City on Wednesday, Pamela shared: “[I was] nervous to meet [Liam], of course and you’re always nervous the first day on the set…”
“I brought sourdough bread to Liam and cookies and muffins and kept me busy. Kept me outta trouble … It’s a very special [muffin] recipe. It’s very good for you. Let’s just say that.”
According to the Daily Mail, the pair have been spending quality time at Pamela’s Canadian home, bonding over shared interests like gardening and baking.
A source revealed to DailyMail: “Pam is very drawn to Liam because he is totally open to her way of thinking and living, and especially her approach to fame, which is impressive.
“She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers, and spending time with her sons and dogs.”
