There are many Hollywood couples whose relationships don’t withstand the test of time. I can imagine how difficult it must be to live a life under the spotlight, with the world and your wife documenting every move you make, not to mention the social media critiques. Pierce Brosnan is known for playing the ultimate charmer on screen and for acting alongside many leading ladies. He is often depicted as a true Casanova. But behind the scenes, he is a devoted family man and a committed husband. The relationship between James Bond star Pierce Brosnan and journalist, author, and TV presenter Keely Shaye Smith is one that we can all aspire to. After more than a quarter of a century together, these passionate partners are still there for each other. Their marriage shows that true love never dies, despite fame, age, and all the physical changes that come with it. Pierce and Keely have been best friends, partners, and lovers for nearly 30 years. The couple started dating in 1994 and married seven years after meeting in a bar in Mexico. Keely and Pierce met when she was asked to interview Ted Danson and ended up working with Pierce. Their first date felt like a romantic movie. According to Keely: “We were sitting under the stars, he held my hand. Fireworks went off above us and Kenny Loggins was singing. We talked until 3 a.m.” “He was fascinating,” Keely said to People in 2001, as reported by PopSugar. “Tall, dark, and handsome, everything immediately attractive. He had this mischievous glint in his eye. I thought… Wow! Wow!” Pierce immediately knew Keely was special. “I love her vitality, her passion.
She has this strength without which I couldn’t live. “When Keely looks at me, I feel weak,” he said. Pierce and Keely had a romantic wedding in Ireland in 2001. The plan was for the couple to marry in 2000, but Pierce’s 16-year-old son was involved in a car accident in the U.S. As a result, he injured his back, and his father postponed the wedding. But eventually, Pierce and Keely celebrated their dream wedding at Ashford Castle, a beautiful 13th-century Irish fortress. They invited 120 close friends and family members to this fairytale castle, but Pierce also funded an extensive security operation to keep the media and the public away. Raising children together: The couple has two children and shares a passion for nature. They campaign against whaling and the destruction of marine life. There’s no doubt that Pierce and Keely have a perfect marriage: their two children were born shortly after the beginning of their relationship.
Since then, Keely has continued to work hard on her career while perfectly caring for her children. She has also lovingly looked after Pierce’s children from his previous marriage to Cassandra Harris, who passed away from cancer in 1991. Before meeting Pierce, Keely Shaye Smith had a career as a model and was also an actress at the time. In recent years, Keely’s weight has been the subject of much discussion, especially in gossip magazines. Everyone can probably see that she has gained weight, but who doesn’t as they age a little? Some media outlets suggest that Keely may have had thyroid issues, but I find her beautiful and radiant. Unfortunately, Keely is often the target of cruel comments from trolls because of her changing figure. Meanwhile, the 007 star says he still loves his “passionate” wife, who “makes him tremble.” “I found a wonderful woman in Keely Shaye,” he explained. “If I looked a million times, I wouldn’t find another like her.
Some tabloids estimated that Keely had gained about 30 pounds after marrying Pierce. This speculation led people and the media to wonder if Pierce would leave his wife. However, their marriage has never been the subject of infidelity rumors, and they are often seen kissing and holding hands in public. Of course, dealing with trolls who comment and body-shame Keely’s appearance is not easy. But Pierce has always supported his wife and often shows his love for her in public, proving how much he cares for her. It’s also very refreshing to see a woman in Hollywood who doesn’t undergo surgery to appear younger. Keely seems confident, and Pierce loves his wife for who she is.
