Why Liam Neeson says “No” to Dating at 72
Liam Neeson, now 72 years old, has decided to stop dating at this stage of his life. In a recent interview with PEOPLE when asked if he dates, the Oscar-nominated actor clearly said,
“No, in a word. I’m past all that.”
He mentions that he stays active by working and spending quality time with his two sons, Michael and Daniell. Neeson describes their time together as “just simple stuff,” recalling how they used to enjoy fly-fishing, although they haven’t done that in several years.
Additionally, he enjoys having time to himself. On his ideal day off, he likes to sleep late and read books, particularly mysteries by Patricia Cornwell or Nordic noir novels, stating, “I’m an avid reader”.
Liam was previously married to Natasha Richardson from 1994 until her tragic death in 2009. Natasha died at the age of 45 due to an epidural hematoma after accidentally hitting her head while skiing.
The couple also had two sons Micheal, 29, and Daniel, 28. Reflecting on the tragic loss of his wife, the “Taken” star actor described it as “a horrible thing to happen.”
He further explained that following the tragic death of his wife, his foremost concern became the well-being of their two sons.
The Love Actually actor emphasized how important family support is during challenging times, noting that his mother-in-law, Vanessa Redgrave, and sister-in-law, Joely Richardson, helped him thoroughly to care of his children.
Neeson remarked on the unity of his family, stating,
“Everybody just pulled together. Vanessa and Joely were extraordinary. We were fortunete in lots of ways”
Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson first met in 1993 while acting together in the Broadway play “Anna Christie.” They quickly fell in love and married on July 3, 1994, at their farmhouse in upstate New York.
Before marrying Liam, Natasha was previously married to Robert Fox, from whom she divorced two years before her wedding to Liam.
Did Liam Neeson find love again after his first wife?
Liam briefly dated businesswoman Freya St. Johnston for two years after the death of his wife. Since their breakup, he has not been publicly linked to anyone for nearly a decade.
However, he claimed in 2016 that he was romantically involved with an “incredibly famous” woman, whose identity had been kept private.
He also hinted at his dating life during a February 2022 interview while promoting his film “Blacklight.” While chatting with the Australian morning talk show, “Sunrise,” he revealed that he fell in love with an Australian woman while filming in Melbourne.
Unfortunately, she was unavailable at the time. Neeson explained,
“I loved Melbourne, I loved our Australian crew, Every department was superb but they were their own people, do you know what I mean? They had a great sense of humor, I made a couple of pals and fell in love once while I was there, but she was taken.”
However, he did not clarify whether she was a co-star or someone else from the film set.
Before meeting Natasha, Liam also had several high-profile relationships, including with Barbra Streisand, Brooke Shields, and Helen Mirren. Helen and Liam have worked together on the 1981 film Excalibur. The two dated for four years, from 1980 until 1984.
