Pierce Brosnan – one of the six actors who played in the James Bond film series. Fans know him as Agent 007. The hero he portrayed is strong, determined, a gambler and a womanizer. The actor himself, however, is the complete opposite of this film character and can be considered a true family man.
His wife doesn’t have the measurements of a supermodel, quite the opposite. Yet Pierce finds time every day to tell her how special she is.
So what keeps their long marriage together?
Pierce Brosnan first married actress Cassandra Harris. He adopted her two children and began raising their child together. The couple would have been happy if Cassandra had not been struck by ovarian cancer, the disease that took her life.
Three years later
A woman named Keely Shaye Smith appeared in his life. She did not come from the world of Hollywood; she began as a journalist and correspondent.
Keely met Pierce in 1994 in Mexico.
She went there to a party intending to interview actor Ted Danson and struck up a conversation with her future husband.
Starting a family and marriage
Their relationship developed quite quickly, but the actor this time did not rush into another marriage. They had two sons, lived together as a common-law couple for seven years, and only then decided to wed before God himself. They simply wanted to take a holiday.
What unites them
The love they show each other. Over the years, even when the children were small, Keely had a lot of work; she accompanied her husband to all social events and often visited him during filming and away from home.
Compassion, understanding, and support for Pierce
Although Keely had no experience with children, she entered into a relationship with Pierce, accepted his three children and became their mother. In this way the actor was able to emotionally recover from the loss of his first wife.
Not seeking constant attention for themselves and their own egos
Keely and Pierce are open people who try to live without insults and quarrels. Thanks to a positive attitude they can support each other and give hope even when fate brings various obstacles into their lives. Together they engage in charity and environmental protection.
Keely is 10 years younger than Pierce
In the 90s, when they met, she was a slim woman, but especially during her pregnancies she began to gain weight. She never managed to get back into her previous shape. Some media wrote about her thyroid problems, which contributed to the weight gain.
Keely, however, does not consider losing weight a life priority. And it is evident that Pierce does not find it necessary to tell his wife to go on a diet. That is called true love.
