Pamela Anderson’s whirlwind romance and marriage to a contractor she has contracted to fix her Canadian home has severed a family of five, his ex claims.
Anderson, 53, told DailyMailTV in a worldwide exclusive interview on Wednesday that she was married to Dan Hayhurst, 40 – her fifth husband.
But on Thursday, Hayhurst’s ex, who was only called Carey, accused Anderson in an interview with The Sun of being a “home squatter.”
Anderson’s wedding took place on Christmas Eve at her estate in the town of Ladysmith, on Vancouver Island.
‘We are very happy. I’m happier than I’ve ever been, ”Anderson told DailyMailTV.

The couple has partnered with the RASTA Sanctuary, which provides a ‘forever home’ to rescued farm animals on Vancouver Island. The shelter posted several photos of Anderson and her new husband on the construction site and a video of Anderson feeding some cows
It’s like coming home and falling in love with someone just like me, you know, I think the rest of it was a dream.
‘This is more like reality and it’s just a good feeling to be home and be with someone who really cares about me and who I really am, who I think I am, you know, just like a girl, from the same region and we get along fine. ‘
About the wedding she said: “It was a short and sweet ceremony with a local pastor and very natural. It was effortless, not stressful. It’s effortless to be together ‘
But Carey became the star of events.
“This isn’t the closed love story being portrayed, it’s all a facade,” she told The Sun.
“I decided to speak out because I want people to know that my nearly five-year relationship, with three involved children, ended because of the affair Pam and Dan started while he was still with me.
“It is sad that people are celebrating and encouraging this, when it started with deceit, denial and life-shattering choices for everyone involved.”
Carey told the paper that Hayhurst had lived with her, her daughter Denise, 21, and his two young children until the summer.
The couple never married, but Carey said they were in a committed relationship.
“We’ve done everything together, like family vacations, family fishing trips, we worked together on family projects,” she said.
“It always was us.”
Carey and Hayhurst met through a dating app five years ago and first lived in the town of Squarmish before moving to Vancouver Island.
Denise had worked for Anderson and then Hayhurst joined her in the fall of 2019.
Initially, Hayhurst complained about his boss, Carey said, describing her as “crazy.”
‘I got married on the estate that I bought from my grandparents 25 years ago, here my parents were married and they are still together. I feel like it’s coming full circle, ”Anderson said
The bridal bouquet was loosely wrapped in dusty blue tulle to match the dress and featured a blue hydrangea, reflecting the ocean and symbolizing the water element of emotion

In a text shared with The Sun, he wrote: ‘The dragon has been released! Speaking of Pam. ‘
Anderson is said to have married film producer Jon Peters in January 2020, but she divorced him two weeks later, saying it was never a real wedding.
Carey said, ‘I’d say,’ What are you doing? You have to get out of that job. It’s crazy ‘. There was a crazy period when she married that guy Jon Peters for two weeks.
“She had told all the contractors she was married, so when I saw the news, I texted Dan.
He answered back and said, ‘Hahaha he’s older than her father, but I think our money issues are over’, which he meant because the man is rich.
‘I thought that was pretty ruthless of him. He didn’t seem to get along with her at all. ‘
Carey said things started to change in late March, when the lockdown started and Hayhurst spent more and more time with Anderson.
“The worm has turned,” she said. ‘COVID happened and it just seemed to happen overnight.
‘Dan would stay with her and not come home, and here I take care of the children.
First he denied it when I confronted him, but finally I asked him, ‘Are you sleeping with Pam?
‘He said,’ I’m just going to say I’ve crossed the line ‘.
‘First he said,’ I want you to stay in our house. I do not want you to leave. I just have to figure things out ‘.
He later apologized. He said, ‘Carey, I love you. I don’t know what’s going on right now. I’m not in my right head right now. I’m not in the right place. ‘
‘He asked me to give him time to figure things out, so I just let him do what he was doing.
And then there was no turning back. I had met Pam and had dinner with her. My daughter worked for her. I could not believe it. ‘

“I’m right where I need to be – in the arms of a man who really loves me,” Canadian-born Anderson tells DailyMailTV in an exclusive interview. Originally from Canada, Anderson beams in wedding shots led by a local pastor, with the couple reading traditional vows
Carey said he moved in July. She has since put the house up for sale.
Carey’s daughter Denise, 21, who worked as a laborer at Anderson’s house, told The Sun that the couple had managed to keep their relationship a secret, even though she worked with them in the house.
“I was shocked to find out,” she said.
‘I just thought,’ How can this even be a thing? ‘I work with them full time here and I had no idea.
And the fact that he had a family, we were a mixed family, he has two young children and she’s clearly a lot older.
What was his thought process? What was going on in his head?
‘I was so shocked. It’s something so unreal, like something straight out of the movie. I can not believe it. Everyone thinks it’s a closed love story and no one knows that there was an affair and that there is a family involved.
Denise said she and her mother were upset that Anderson described it as a dream come true, when other people were involved.
“And I think the hardest part is people getting this one-sided fairytale story when in reality there’s so much more going on,” Denise said.
‘It has damaged many human lives. It has been very difficult for my mother.
She gave up all the way and was a full-time mother to those kids. It was hard to watch her go through that.
“There were no hard times or things that were bad at home, things were perfectly normal all the time until this happened.”
She speculated that Anderson, who returned to her Canadian hometown full-time in 2019, would resume a jet set once the pandemic passed.
“I don’t see it working,” she said.
Carey concluded, “ I’m just like, ‘Wow, who are you? Who have I been with for five years? ‘None of this makes sense. ‘
Anderson’s representative has yet to respond to DailyMail.com’s request.
