In addition to being the renowned drummer of Mötley Crüe, Tommy Lee is also recognized as Pamela Anderson’s former husband. Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson have returned to the screen! After almost three decades, the love story of one of the most popular couples of the 90s – who got married just four days after meeting each other – is the subject of Hulu’s Pam & Tommy series.
While Lee’s romance with Anderson was undeniably dramatic and quite unhealthy, the former bad boy appears to have finally mellowed down – and happily settled down – with his fourth spouse, Brittany Furlan.
Tommy Lee’s Spouse, Brittany Furlan
The 35-year-old internet personality and comedian, 24 years younger than her musician husband, transformed her life via social media. It has brought her wealth, a career, and Mr. Right.
Brittany is a former Vine star who continues to create social media content.
She appeared in a Pitbull music video for the song Fireball and the 2018 Netflix documentary, The American Meme.
Brittany has also appeared in We Are Your Friends, Wrestling Isn’t Wrestling, The Unicorn, The Dirt, Spy Intervention, and Paradise City.
In 2019, she was featured on E! True Hollywood Story about fame and addiction.
The 35-year-old has over 2.3million followers on Instagram and 1.8million on TikTok.
According to her Instagram biography, Brittany Furlan is a mental health advocate.
Social media Played its Part in Connecting Them
Lee and Furlan’s love began online. He was one of her followers while she was a fan of Methods of Mayhem and Mötley Crüe, and – most importantly – she always found him “extremely attractive“, as she revealed to Fox News. “We just messaged each other and ended up going on a couple dates and it was fantastic – now here we are,” she said.
After their first public appearance in 2017, he proposed to her on Valentine’s Day 2018, and they got married two years to the day later in 2019.
Vine Gave Furlan a Fame
Before TikTok, Vine dominated the online video world from 2012 to 2017, with short-form looping videos up to six seconds long.
Furlan was known as the “Ruler of Vine.” With nearly 10 million followers, she was among the top five Viners and had over five billion loops for her comedy videos.
Because of her huge audience, she made up to US$20,000 per post from brands, which has mainly contributed to her reported US$800,000 net worth. “Truthfully, if I accepted every job I’m offered, I could be a multimillionaire right now, but I don’t want to inundate my Vine with content,” she said in an interview in 2014.
Despite her success, she left Vine in 2015 to avoid the mental health side-effects as she changed from a diffident person to a “cyber girl”. “I just became this monster who constantly wanted to perform,” she told Entertainment News in 2019.
But she is still an active influencer today with 2.3 million followers on Instagram and 1.8 million on TikTok, where her videos have garnered 88 million views.
Furlan Chooses Acting as a Career
Her fame with Vine led Furlan to act roles in music videos like Pitbull’s Fireball and in film and television roles in We Are Your Friends, The Unicorn, The Dirt, Spy Intervention, and Paradise City. She was also featured in Netflix’s documentary The American Meme.
Acting was her dream and initial goal when she moved to Los Angeles at 17, she told Fox News. But while she was figuring out her path, Vine was launched, and she never looked back.
“People kind of didn’t take you seriously as an actor because they’re like, ‘Oh, you’re from the internet. You don’t know [how to act],’” she said, “But then finally, people started auditioning me and giving me chances. And then I got to do Spy and Paradise City and it’s been really fun. It’s been awesome.”
Besides her sense of humor, Furlan also has a warm heart. She has done a charity photoshoot for the Project Mermaid Organizations to raise awareness about protecting the ocean environment and sea life from pollution and human impact.
Lee is in the Blissful Stage of His Life With Furlan
At 59, Lee’s life today is different from his younger days. He has swapped the rocking out, drinking, and death-defying stunts for domestic bliss.
Thanks to Furlan, he is living a quiet and happy life in LA. He revealed to GQ that he doesn’t go out much anymore. Instead, he enjoys working and hanging out in his recording studio, playing with his pets – fish, turtles, dogs, and birds – and going viral on TikTok with Furlan.
“I have my lovely wife and she is simply incredible, man. My face often hurts from laughing so much from all the fun we have. She has that wonderful gift of laughter and I think that’s such an undervalued quality in people,” he said.
