Many Hollywood couples’ relationships don’t stand the test of time. I imagine it’s challenging to live under the spotlight, with the world and your significant other documenting your every move, not to mention the critical voices on social media.
Pierce Brosnan is known for portraying the ultimate charmer on-screen and for starring alongside many leading ladies. Often depicted as a true Casanova, behind the scenes, he’s an exemplary family man and devoted husband. The relationship between James Bond star Pierce Brosnan and journalist, author, and television host Keely Shaye Smith is one we can all aspire to. After over a quarter-century together, the passionate partners only have eyes for each other.
Their marriage demonstrates that true love never dies, despite fame, age, and all the physical changes that come with it. Pierce and Keely have been best friends, companions, and lovers for nearly 30 years. The couple began dating in 1994 and tied the knot seven years after meeting at a bar in Mexico.
Keely and Pierce crossed paths when she was sent to interview Ted Danson but ended up collaborating with Pierce. Their very first date felt like a romantic movie. According to Keely, «We were sitting under the stars, he was holding my hand. Fireworks were exploding overhead, and Kenny Loggins was singing. We talked until three in the morning.» «He was captivating,» Keely said to People in 2001, as reported by PopSugar. «Tall, dark, and handsome, everything that immediately attracts you. He had this mischievous sparkle in his eyes. I thought, ‘Wow! Wow!'» Pierce immediately knew Keely was special. «I love her vitality, her passion. She has this strength that I wouldn’t be without. When Keely looks at me, I feel weak,» he said. Pierce and Keely romantically married 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 United States. As a result, he suffered a spinal injury, and his father postponed the wedding ceremony. But eventually, Pierce and Keely celebrated their dream wedding at Ashford Castle, a magnificent 13th-century Irish fortress. The newlyweds had invited 120 close friends and relatives to this fairytale hotel, but Pierce also funded an extensive security operation to keep the media and the public at bay.
Raising Sons Together: The couple has two sons and shares a passion for nature. They work to prevent whale hunting and the destruction of marine life. Pierce and Keely undoubtedly formed a perfect marriage: their two sons were born shortly after the couple began dating. Since then, Keely has continued to work hard on her career while perfectly caring for her children. Keely also took great care of Pierce’s children from his previous marriage to Cassandra Harris, who died of cancer in 1991.
Keely Shaye Smith’s Weight: Before meeting Pierce, Keely had a career as a model and was also an actress at the time.
In recent years, Keely’s weight has been widely discussed, especially in gossip magazines. Everyone can probably see that she has gained weight, but who doesn’t gain a little weight as they age? Some media outlets speculate that Keely may have had thyroid issues, but I find her to be radiantly beautiful. Unfortunately, Keely is often the target of cruel trolls because of her changing shape. Meanwhile, the 007 star says he still adores his «passionate» wife who makes him «weak at the knees.» «I have found a wonderful woman in Keely Shaye,» he said. «If I searched a million times over, I wouldn’t find one as good.»
Some tabloids estimated that Keely gained about 30 pounds after marrying Pierce. This speculation also led people and the media to speculate that Pierce would leave his wife. However, the couple has never sparked cheating rumors and is constantly caught kissing and holding hands in public.
Of course, it’s not easy dealing with trolls who have an opinion on Keely’s appearance and criticize her. But Pierce has always supported his wife and often shows his love for her in public, a testament to how much he loves Keely. And it’s also very refreshing to have a woman in Hollywood who doesn’t undergo surgery to look younger. Keely seems confident, and Pierce loves his wife for who she is.
