Is Pamela Anderson a homewrecker? Dan Hayhurst's furious ex claims 'Baywatch' star stole her husband
Former 'Baywatch' TV show star Pamela Anderson's newest love story is one that will surely melt your heart. Her new and fifth husband Dan Hayhurst was once her bodyguard until the two fell in love during the coronavirus pandemic, eventually tying the knot on Christmas Eve. But the actress and model is being accused of being a "home wrecker" by Hayhurst ex-wife and breaking up a family of five.
According to the latest emerging reports, Anderson is being accused of seducing the Vancouver builder when he worked on her property in the Canadian town of Ladysmith and he was in a relationship with another woman.
On Wednesday, January 27, 2021, the 53-year-old actress announced that he had tied the knot with her 40-year-old "boyfriend", saying, "I'm exactly where I need to be - in the arms of a man who loves me". The couple chose to have an intimate wedding with no friends or family present. Due to the ongoing pandemic, their guest list was pretty limited.
But Hayhurst leaves a heartbroken woman behind. According to the latest reports in The Sun, Hayhurst's ex Carey had apparently been living with him and bringing up his two children for the past five years. She now reveals how she was blindsided by the affair and knew nothing of their marriage until she read about it online.
The 42-year-old reveals that Anderson and Hayhurst started getting close early last year while she and Dan were still together before he finally moved out of their shared home and into Pam’s in July 2020. "This is not the lockdown love story which is being portrayed, it’s all a facade."
"I decided to speak out because I want people to know that my almost five-year relationship, with three children involved, ended because of the affair Pam and Dan started while he was still with me," she added. "It’s sad that people celebrate this and cheer them on, when it started with deceit, denials and life-shattering choices for all the people involved."
Carey, a mother of one herself, revealed to the publication what happened over the course of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown and how Anderson allegedly stole her partner. "It wasn’t this romance that happened overnight. He worked with her for over six months before any of that happened," she said, adding, "He wasn’t her body-guard then, he is a handyman, she hired him to work on her house."
Anderson might think she is in a good place when it comes to the marriage but Carey points out that life is probably not going to go all too well for Hayhurst. "We were all totally blindsided by this, it’s been so hard for us. And it’s not just me and the kids, lots of people have been hurt by them. Dan has lost friendships and business relationships because of this," she added.
Carey is from Vancouver Island, got together with Hayhurst, who was then a single dad, around five years ago. Shortly afterwards, she moved in with him on the mainland in Squamish, a town north of Vancouver, to help him bring his two young children. A year later, they moved to Vancouver Island. "We did everything together, like family vacations, family fishing trips, we worked on family projects together. It was always us."
But then Hayhurst took up Anderson's building renovation project in early autumn 2019. This was the beginning of doom.
At first, he used to complain back to Carey about how “crazy” Pamela was and how difficult and demanding she was to work for. In one text shared with The Sun, he wrote, "The dragon has been released! Talking about Pam".
Carey recalled, "I would say, 'What are you doing? You need to get out of that job. It’s crazy’. There was the crazy stint when she married that guy Jon Peters for two weeks. She had told all the contractors she had got married so then when I saw the news about it I texted Dan. He replied back saying, ‘Hahaha he’s older than her dad, but I think our money issues are over’, which he meant because the guy is rich. I thought that was pretty ruthless of him. He really didn’t seem to get on with her at all."
Things took a turn for the worse at the end of last March as Hayhurst started spending time away from home. "The worm turned. Covid happened and it just seemed to happen overnight. Dan would stay at her house and not come home, and here I am taking care of the kids. At first, he said, 'I want you to stay in our house. I don’t want you to go. I just need to figure things out."
The two oscillated between breaking up and staying together. "Later he apologised to me. He said, ‘Carey, I love you. I don’t know what is going on right now. I’m not in my right head right now. I’m not in a good space’. He asked me to give him time to figure things out so I just let him do what he was doing. And there was no turning back by then. I had met Pam and had gone to dinner with her. My daughter used to work for her. I couldn’t believe it."
According to the media outlet, the ‘Scary Movie 3’ actress did not have even have bridesmaids. Anderson and Hayhurst’s traditional wedding took place in the backyard of her countryside property on the east side of Vancouver Island.
“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,” Anderson told Daily Mail.
