Pam Anderson & Kid Rock Wed (PEOPLE)

(July 29, 2006) ? Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock married Saturday on a yacht in Saint-Tropez, PEOPLE has confirmed.

This is the second marriage for Anderson and the first for Rock (real name: Robert Richie) ? and, apparently, the first of several to each other. “I’m going to get married a few times this month to the same guy,” Anderson, 39, said July 26 during a news conference in Las Vegas. “We had to do Malibu, we’ve got to do Detroit, and we’ve got to do Nashville.”

Anderson and Rock, 35, began dating in spring 2001. They became engaged on April 11, 2002, in the Las Vegas desert, but split the following year. Still, when they ran into each other early this month in Saint-Tropez on a mutual friend’s yacht, the feelings were still there.

“It was like we’d never been apart,” Rock told PEOPLE on July 11. “(I) love her to death.” Anderson announced their engagement on her Web site on July 18.

So why the whirlwind nuptials? “It’s just timing,” Anderson told PEOPLE on Wednesday. “It’s being in love, obviously, and it’s time for me to move on with my life and get on with the rest of it with my kids.”

The British Columbia-born Anderson has two sons, Brandon, 10, and Dylan, 8, with ex-husband Tommy Lee, to whom she was married from 1995 until 1998. Her kids were with her when she ran into Rock earlier this month. “It was so nice to see them,” Rock told PEOPLE.

At their Saint-Tropez wedding, the bride planned to wear custom Jimmy Choo heels, according to a source. Jimmy Choo president Tamara Mellon, who briefly dated Rock early this year, was to be a bridesmaid.

Detroit-born Rock has a 16-year-old son, Robert James Ritchie Jr., whose mother is Kelly South Russell, a Detroit auto worker
