Pamela Anderson & Kid Rock to Marry

By: Shannon Gossage

According to Us Weekly Anderson and Rock are set to tie the knot July 29 on a yacht in the French Riviera. A friend of Anderson’s reportedly said, "They’ve been very close for a long time and decided that now is the right time to take the next step. They couldn’t be happier about their future together." She wrote on her Website, "I’ve raised my kids alone in hope of a miracle. Well, my miracle came and went. And [it] came back and came back because he knew that I’d wake up one day and realize that I was waiting for nothing. I’m in love. I’m happy. I see the light."

Anderson first mentioned that there would be a positive change in her life last week when she posted a message on her official Website on Thursday that read, "My life is moving forward. I’ve made some big decisions. Watch this space." On Tuesday she wrote, "Yes, I’m finally getting remarried. It’s been a whirlwind – spontaneous but well thought through." Lately, the couple has been spotted looking happy and cozy.

Anderson and Rock (real name Robert James Ritchie) first began dating in 2001. They became engaged in 2002 but broke it off in 2003. There was never any official reason given for the split. Apparently they have been dating off and on for the past few years and have decided to take the plunge. This is Anderson’s second marriage. She was married to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee in 1995 after only knowing him for 96 hours. She filed for divorce just nine months later. The couple reconciled, renewed their vows, and finally divorced in 1998. They have two children Brandon, 10, and Dylan, 8. This will be Kid Rock’s first tip down the aisle.
