The love story of these two stars began when they starred together in Anna Christie on Broadway in 1993, where sparks flew despite the actress being married at the time

Eventually, her marriage ended, and she and the actor married in 1994, raising two sons together.

The couple’s deep connection was evident early on, with the describing an undeniable chemistry between them that carried through to their performances.

Even the actress said herself years later that she was unfazed that the actor was known for being a ladies man, commenting: “I’m pleased that women fall in love with him because I know why,” per Country Living.

Their love only grew stronger after marriage, and they embraced parenthood, welcoming their first son in 1995, followed shortly by a second son 18 months later.

However, heartbreak struck when the actress, Natasha Richardson, sustained a head injury while skiing in 2009. Initially dismissing the fall, she soon deteriorated, and doctors determined she was brain dead.

Neeson, recalling a pact they’d made, made the difficult decision to take her off life support after allowing family and friends to say their goodbyes.

Their eldest son, Micheál, later followed in her footsteps in acting, appearing in movies and TV series like Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, Vox Lux, Big Dogs, Broken Symphony, and Paradise.

Years later, Micheál also decided to pay tribute to his mother by changing his surname to Richardson.

He explained: “It was mainly like a homage to my mother, a way to carry her with me,” per The Times.
