Liam Neeson is done with dating. Speaking to People Magazine, the 72-year-old admitted, “I’m past all that,” when quizzed about his love life.
The A-lister was previously married to Parent Trap star, Natasha Richardson for 15 years before she tragically died in 2009. The couple had married in 1994 and shared two children – Micheál, 29, and Daniel, 28 – before Natasha sustained fatal injuries in a skiing accident at the age of 45.
Following the loss of his wife, Liam was last linked to public relations executive, Freya St. Johnston. The pair dated from 2010 to 2012. He is currently single.
While Liam has taken a step back from dating, the actor remains busier than ever when it comes to his career, although he is gearing up for a big change. During his latest interview with People, the star suggested that his days of performing fight scenes may soon come to an end.

“I’m 72 – it has to stop at some stage,” he told the publication. Currently, Liam performs some of the sequences, but his more intricate stunts are handled by his longtime stunt double, Mark Vanselow.
“You can’t fool audiences. I don’t want Mark to be fighting my fight scenes for me,” he added. Revealing a rough timeline for his exit from action-packed roles, Liam mused: “Maybe the end of next year. I think that’s it.”

Additionally, Cold Storage – a thriller film which Liam shot in 2023 – is slated for release in 2025. Directed by Jonny Campbell; Joe Keery, Lesley Manville, Sosie Bacon, and Vanessa Redgrave round out the cast.

Following Natasha’s passing, Liam revealed that Vanessa had been a major source of support, and would look after her grandsons when he had to shoot on location. “I have a great support team, if I’m away on a project, my mother-in-law moves in,” he said in 2014.
These days, Micheál and Daniel are all grown up, and while they’ve moved out, they still live close to Liam in New York.
Micheál worked as a fashion gallery curator but has since turned his attention to acting with roles in 2013’s Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, 2018’s Vox Lux. He has collaborated with his father on two films – Cold Pursuit (2019) and Made in Italy (2020).
