When talking about the strongest couples in Hollywood, these two stars definitely deserve a mention. Hard to believe, but Pierce Brosnan and Keely Shaye Smith have been together for nearly 30 years.
Judging by the photos, they still look just as in love and happy as ever. It must be true love.
Whenever the actor speaks to the press about his personal life, he showers Keely with compliments—and she does the same in return.
Before meeting Keely, Brosnan was married to Cassandra Harris. Sadly, their relationship ended on a heartbreaking note.
At first, Pierce didn’t expect things to get serious with Cassandra, but they ended up spending 17 years together. He couldn’t have imagined she’d become his wife—he simply admired her from afar.
In 1980, they tied the knot, and soon Cassandra gave birth to their son. Pierce also adopted her children from a previous relationship, raising them as his own.
But 1991 brought tragedy—Cassandra died of cancer. Brosnan has said his life changed forever the moment he realized she was terminally ill.
In 1994, fate brought Keely Shaye Smith into his life. She was working as a reporter in Mexico at the time.
Keely admitted she fell in love with him at first sight—he looked amazing, and his presence took her breath away. What really caught her attention was the playful sparkle in his eyes.
Their first date didn’t happen until a few years later. They simply sat together, holding hands and watching fireworks. It was deeply romantic.
They talked about life until three in the morning. They felt so connected that they decided to build a life together.
Pierce has often said he misses his wife terribly when they’re apart. They’re such a perfect match that even brief separations feel like too much.
Three years later, Brosnan became a father again. The birth of Dylan Thomas was a life-changing moment for him. Then came Paris.
Only after that did the couple decide to officially marry. Pierce said he saw his ideal woman in Keely.
He believes she was a gift from fate—meant to cross his path sooner or later.
Most importantly, Keely understood Pierce’s emotional wounds. She never got upset when he reminisced about his late wife or mourned her.
She showed compassion, kindness, and unwavering support—qualities Pierce deeply values.
He credits their happiness to the time they spend together.
He also says his first marriage was a happy one—and he’s grateful that his second brought him even greater love.
Pierce thanks fate every day for Keely. To him, happiness lies in simple things.
He admires her inner strength and passion—qualities that give him the will to live.
Keely, in turn, is in awe of her husband. She describes him as full of tenderness and compassion, someone who inspires her and makes her smile every day.
She not only loves him—she’s grateful for his presence in her life.
By the way, Keely has a curvy figure. She was once offered surgery to lose weight, but she refused.
She says she’s not ashamed of her body and won’t hide it under oversized clothes.
Pierce, in fact, adores her figure. He calls her the most beautiful woman in the world and insists she doesn’t need to change a thing.
He’s proud of her—and does everything he can to be worthy of her love.
Pierce believes people are meant to spend their lives in relationships—because loneliness can destroy you. He’s thankful he’s always been in a happy marriage.
The actor openly admits he needs a strong woman—and Keely is exactly that. They live in harmony and are growing older together beautifully.
The couple does everything together—even gardening. While one digs the soil, the other waters the plants.
Pierce says their life is simple. Their Malibu home was designed by Keely herself—she’s a perfectionist and a professional, and Pierce fully trusts her with such things.
Their sons also followed creative paths and are involved in modeling.
In an interview, they said they’re proud of their parents and consider them the best.
While filming Black Adam, Pierce wore a watch and ring gifted by Keely. On the back was an engraving of words that mean a lot to him. He felt the accessories suited his superhero character perfectly.
Keely appreciated the gesture. It meant a lot to her to see her gifts featured in the film.
Pierce also notes that his wife has a great sense of humor—it helps in tough times.
Keely admitted she’s flattered by the attention her husband gets. She understands why women find him attractive—it’s hard not to notice him.
The secret to their marriage is simple: love each other every single day.
