She added: “Life is a journey and love is a process. With that universal truth in mind, we have mutually decided to put off the formalisation of our marriage certificate and put our faith in the process. Thank you for respecting our privacy.”
The news comes one week after Anderson shared a photograph of her and Peters on her Instagram Story featuring the two of them smiling together in a living room.
Anderson posted another photograph of the couple on Twitter that was taken in 1989.
The photo shows Peters and Anderson, who were together at the time, holding hands as they attended the premiere for war film Glory , starring Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, Cary Elwes and Morgan Freeman.
Anderson captioned her tweet “Pamela Peters,” in reference to her union with her then-new husband.
The nuptials with Peters marked Anderson’s fifth marriage. She was previously married to musician Tommy Lee from 1995 to 1998 and shares two adult sons with him.
Anderson was also married to singer-songwriter Kid Rock from 2006 until 2007 and married poker player Rick Salomon twice.
