Tommy Lee’s relationship with his ex-wife Pamela Anderson may be memorialized in the 2022 Hulu series Pam & Tommy, but his current wife Brittany Furlan is the one who has his heart. When they met on the celebrity dating app Raya in 2017, they hit it off right away.
Lee said that he felt like he knew Furlan even before they met. “I have been following her on Vine for many years. I thought, “She is so funny, stupid, cute, and pretty.” “In The American Meme, a Netflix documentary about Furlan, he said what he had to say.
After being cheated on in the past, Furlan was afraid to dive headfirst into their relationship, but Lee worked hard to earn her trust and let her into his whole world. “Oh, well, I’ll just give you the password to my phone and all my devices, and whenever you feel unsafe, you can go look at anything you want,” she said on an episode of dating coach Tripp Kramer’s podcast How to Talk to Girls.
She went on to say, “He’s great, so loving and helpful, and honestly, such a good partner.” “Everything kind of changes when you find someone you feel safe with.”
Lee proposed to his girlfriend with a heart-shaped diamond on Valentine’s Day in 2018. After a year and a fake wedding, Furlan became Mrs. Lee for real. In The American Meme, Furlan said of her husband, “I met someone I can trust because I couldn’t trust anyone I dated before.” “I’d say Tommy is my first real love, and I’m finally safe and happy.”

She met Lee on Raya
How to Talk to Girls explains, Furlan said that she and her rockstar husband met for the first time on the dating app Raya in 2017. “We were matched, and he was so persistent,” she said. “He would just text me every day and say, “Hey, what are you doing?”… He was such a nice person.”
In the end, they decided to meet in person. “After about a week, we ran into each other at Pride Fest, where we were both working… When I went up to him and tapped him on the shoulder, he just hugged me and held my hand “Furlan said. “Ever since then, we’ve been together.”
She married Lee on Valentine’s Day
On February 14, 2019, Furlan and Lee got married. This was exactly one year after the Motley Crüe drummer proposed with a heart-shaped ring. Furlan shared the good news on Instagram by posting a picture of her dogs dressed up as a bride and groom with the words, “It’s a done deal!!! We got married!! MR & MRS LEE YAHOOOOOOOO.”
She got her start on reality TV
Before Furlan was Lee’s VIP, she was making a name for herself on reality TV shows like Reality Hell on E! and Prank My Mom on Lifetime, which both ended after a short time.
She was named one of the most influential people on the internet
In 2015, TIME named Furlan, along with Beyoncé, J.K. Rowling, and Shakira, as one of the 30 most influential people on the internet. By then, Furlan had the most followers of any woman on the now-defunct social media app Vine, with about 8.6 million. She said, “It’s changed my whole life.”
Furlan says that she started making content on her own. “I started making funny videos, and people started to watch them. It seemed like 50 new people joined every day, which was pretty cool “In 2014, Furlan told TheWrap. “I posted all the time when I first started because I was having so much fun. You didn’t have to say, “Vine Scorsese,” like you do now.”
But social media got the best of her in the end. In a 2019 episode of True Hollywood Story, Furlan told E!, “I left Vine because it was hurting me more than helping me.” “I really take everything to heart. When I was on Vine, I had 10 million people who followed me. Now I have 2.6 million followers on Instagram.”
She has appeared in several films, including a Mötley Crüe biopic
Furlan may be best known for her short comedies, but acting is really what she loves to do. “I love to act. When I first came to L.A., I wanted to do just that “in 2020, she told Fox News. “When I was 17, I thought, “I want to act. This is what I want to do.” Then I began to do stand-up comedy. And I was trying to figure out where I was going. Then this thing called “Vine” came along, and it was like a huge success.”
Furlan struggled to find film roles after becoming an internet sensation, however. “People didn’t really take you seriously as an actor because they were like, “Oh, you’re from the internet. You don’t know what to do “she told the news station. “But then, people finally started giving me auditions and chances.”
Furlan has been in several movies, including We Are Your Friends, Good Mourning, The Unicorn, Deported, Random Tropical Paradise, and The Dirt, which is based on Motley Crüe’s autobiography.
She was profiled in a 2018 documentary
The 2018 Netflix documentary The American Meme followed several social media stars, including Paris Hilton and Furlan. The documentary shown at the Tribeca Film Festival followed Furlan, Hilton, and other “influencers” as they worked hard to build their online businesses.
She studied fashion
Furlan went to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, or FIDM, in downtown Los Angeles. This is where she got her start in media and content creation. In 2014, she said in a Reddit “Ask me anything” thread, “I didn’t want to go to a real college, and I needed something I could leave easily to go to auditions.”
She’s been engaged before
Before she met Lee, Furlan was engaged to Randal Kirk II, who was also a Vine star. In May 2015, Furlan wrote on Facebook that she was no longer with anyone. “I’m single for the first time in more than four years,” she wrote.
In the end, she was linked to the director Jordan Vogt-Roberts.
She hosted her own podcast
In 2019, Furlan started a podcast called “Worst Firsts.” In it, she talked to celebrities like Mena Suvari, Pauly Shore, the late Bob Saget, and of course, Lee, about their worst “firsts.” On June 16, 2021, the last episode came out.
She doesn’t plan on having kids
Lee has two kids with his ex-wife Anderson, Brandon Thomas and Dylan Jagger. Furlan doesn’t have any kids of her own, and it doesn’t look like she has any plans to add to their family. When asked if she wanted kids, Furlan said, “Oh, no, no, no… we have dogs.”
She threw Lee a 60th birthday bash in Mexico
Furlan and Lee celebrated his 60th birthday in Mexico with friends and family, including John Travolta, Vince Neil, and Lee’s sons Brandon and Dylan.
During the weeklong party in Punta Mita, there was a lot of sun and sand, as well as catered meals, golf, a ride in a dune buggy, and a huge cake that looked like a drum set.
Pamela Anderson is happy for her
On The Howard Stern Show on January 25, 2023, Lee’s ex-wife, Anderson, talked about Furlan while promoting her book Love, Pamela.
“She’s nice to him, and I think that’s great,” the former Baywatch star said. “I hate to be annoying and go through this again, I’m sure she’s annoyed, but I respect their relationship and am just glad he’s happy and has someone in his life.”
In an interview with PEOPLE at the beginning of that month, the actress talked about Lee’s marriage. She said, “He has a wife, and of course I respect that. He’s very happy, and I’m happy for him.”
She doesn’t care that people don’t like her marriage to Lee.
Since Hulu released Pam & Tommy in February 2022, fans have been reliving Anderson and Lee’s love story. The Baywatch star’s memoir, Love, Pamela, and her Netflix documentary, Pamela, A Love Story, both had more stories about her past.
Because of this, Furlan has gotten a lot of hate on social media about her relationship with Lee, probably because she’s married to the former rock star and Anderson isn’t.
In February 2023, Furlan made a TikTok video to answer the criticism.
“I just wanted to come on here to let you know I’m fine because I know people have been checking on me, which is really nice, and I’m good, don’t worry,” she said. “Don’t worry about what people are saying about you. Please don’t worry, because I don’t live in that world.”
The ex-Vine star kept going: “I’m lucky to have a loving husband who laughs about everything and doesn’t care. So, don’t worry about anything, and thanks to everyone who has defended me.”
