Liam Neeson has ignited speculation about his love life after appearing hand-in-hand with British actress Stella Stocker at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 12. The 74-year-old actor and Stocker attended the premiere of the film Evil Genius, where they walked the red carpet closely together, dressed in coordinated black outfits, sparking rumors that they could be romantically involved.
Neeson and Stocker previously collaborated on the 2022 action thriller Memory, in which she played Maya, a character who shares a brief encounter with Neeson’s role, Alex. Their public display of affection at TIFF-holding hands and posing intimately for photos-has fans buzzing, although neither party has officially confirmed a relationship.
Social media reactions have been mixed, with some expressing hope that Neeson has found love again, while others caution that holding hands at a film premiere doesn’t necessarily signal a romance. One fan wrote, “I hope he found love again… Deserves it,” while another commented, “Holding hands on a red carpet isn’t exactly a confirmation. Sometimes a premiere is just a premiere.”
This is not the first time Neeson has been linked romantically with a co-star. Last year, he sparked dating rumors with Pamela Anderson following their work on the upcoming comedy The Naked Gun (2025).
The pair openly admired each other during their promotional tour, with Neeson describing himself as “madly in love” and Anderson saying he “brings out the best in her.” Anderson later confirmed to People magazine that they were briefly involved romantically after filming wrapped, spending an “intimate week” together at Neeson’s home in upstate New York.
Despite the connection, their relationship was short-lived, and they have since remained close friends.
Representatives for Liam Neeson have been contacted for comment regarding the latest rumors but have yet to respond. For now, fans will continue to watch closely as the story unfolds.
