Pierce Brosnan may have played a renowned ladies’ man via his 007 James Bond role, but the man behind the fictional spy character is very much a one-woman guy.
With Keely For 28 Years
Pierce has now been married to his wife Keely Shaye Smith for over two decades. The actor was formerly married to Cassandra Harris, but he hasn’t looked back since hitting it off with Keely.
Met In 1994
Pierce first met Keely back in 1994 while the two were in Mexico – they began dating shortly after. By 1997, the couple had welcomed their first son Dylan Thomas and by February 2001, another baby had arrived – Paris Beckett.
Married In 2001
Pierce, 69, married his wife at Ballintubber Abbey in Ireland in 2001. Every red carpet appearance since has seen fans gushing over the couple that’s proving that Hollywood marriages can last.
Loves Her ‘Vitality’ And ‘Passion’
Pierce has opened up on both losing his first wife and finding love again with his second.
“I had a great marriage which sadly had its own ending, and I was lucky enough to find love again. We were meant to find each other. I thank God for her every day,” he told Closer back in 2018. “When Keely looks at me, I go weak. I love her vitality, her passion. She has this strength that I wouldn’t be able to live without.”
She Gushes Right Back
Keely, a journalist, has also sent love to Pierce via a social media post.
“@piercebrosnanofficial thank you for joining me on this wild, joyous ride into parenthood, for your love, support and encouragement. Your heart is so big, so generous, so tender and compassionate. You inspire me everyday and you continue to make me laugh. God bless you! My heart is filled with gratitude,” she wrote for Father’s Day last year.
