Canadian born actress and vegan activist Pamela Anderson has found love once again, this time with her bodyguard Dan Hayhurst. The couple fell in love during the COVID-19 lockdown and were married on Christmas Eve in a backyard ceremony on Vancouver Island at a property Anderson purchased from her grandparents. “I’m exactly where I need to be—in the arms of a man who truly loves me,” Anderson told Daily Mail UK<\/em><\/a>. “I am in love. We were married [on] Christmas Eve with both our families’ blessing, everyone we know is happy for us. I was married on the property I bought from my grandparents 25 years ago, this is where my parents were married and they are still together. I feel like I’ve come full circle.”<\/p>\n The intimate celebration included a decadent vegan, two-tier triple coconut cake topped with a glass deer ornament, white carnation, and a glittery heart. Artist Heather Ross created the cake and photographed the wedding. “It was such a pleasure to photograph the moments leading up to her secret nuptials with her beloved Dan, and create bespoke beauty for the couple, including the vegan coconut wedding cake I baked from scratch, that echoed the beautiful wintery wonderland on her coastal property,” Ross shared on Instagram<\/a>. “I know firsthand [from] working with Pamela and Dan that they are such kind hearted and loving souls. They’ve been working together to help out an animal sanctuary on Vancouver Island. It’s a true love story and I wish them much happiness.” <\/p>\n Pamela Anderson’s vegan activism Photo Credit: Heather Ross<\/p>\n \n
<\/strong>A long time vegan, Anderson has used her fame to advocate for animals in a variety of ways over the years, including fighting for vegan meals to be served in prisons in Canada<\/a> and the United States<\/a>; urging public figures such as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau<\/a> and former First Lady Melania Trump<\/a> to ditch animal products; and partnering with fashion brands to create vegan handbags<\/a> and shoes<\/a>. Most recently, the newly wed appeared on British television show Good Morning Britain<\/em> where she defended her stance that vegans have better sex<\/a> against challanges made by the show’s host, and avid critic of veganism, Piers Morgan.<\/p>
