Liam Neeson, at 63, has revealed that he is romantically involved with an “incredibly famous” woman, though her identity remains undisclosed. The Taken star, who lost his wife Natasha Richardson in a tragic skiing accident in 2009, shared his plans for Valentine’s Day, expressing that a simple bunch of freshly picked flowers holds special significance. Neeson, while keeping details about his new relationship private, emphasized his desire to do his best for his partner.
Neeson’s late wife, Natasha Richardson, passed away at the age of 45 after a skiing accident in Quebec, Canada. Neeson, still deeply affected by her death, referred to the topic as a “touchy subject” and acknowledged the enduring grief. The couple, who met in 1993 on the set of Broadway play Anna Christie, married in 1994 and had two sons together.
Previously, Neeson ended a two-year relationship with British publicist Freya St Johnston in 2012. The actor cited his desire to spend more time with his children and take things slow as reasons for the separation. Neeson’s journey through grief has been a challenging one, marked by his silence for five years before opening up about Natasha’s death on 60 Minutes.
Neeson and his son Micheál recently starred together in an LG commercial during the Superbowl, marking their first on-screen collaboration. The commercial, promoting LG OLED TV, features Neeson giving advice to his past self as a man from the future. Micheál, describing the experience as “very cool,” expressed the uniqueness of working alongside his Oscar-nominated father.
Neeson, with upcoming projects like Martin Scorcese’s Silence and the war drama Operation Chromite, continues to navigate his career while also finding new beginnings in his personal life. The actor’s son, Micheál, has overcome personal struggles and substance abuse, seeking rehabilitation in 2014 after hitting “rock bottom.”
