A lot of Hollywood couples can’t stand the test of time.
One can only imagine how hard it is to live under the spotlight when every move, both yours and your partner’s, is documented, not to mention the critical comments on social media.
Pierce Brosnan is famous for portraying a real charming man on screen and starring alongside many leading ladies.
He is often portrayed as a true Casanova.
However, behind the scenes he is the epitome of a devoted family man and husband.
The relationship between James Bond star Pierce Brosnan and journalist, author and TV presenter Keely Shay Smith is one we can all aspire to.
After more than a quarter of a century together, these passionate partners still look up to each other.
Their marriage demonstrates that true love doesn’t die despite fame, age and all the changes that happen to the body.
Pierce and Keely have been best friends, companions and lovers for nearly 30 years.
The couple started dating in 1994 and married seven years after they met in a bar in Mexico.
Keely and Pierce met when she was sent to interview Ted Danson, but she ended up working with Pierce.
Their first date was like something out of a romantic film.
According to Keely, ‘We sat under the stars, him holding my hand.
Fireworks were exploding above us and Kenny Loggins was singing.
We talked until 3 a.m.’
‘He was charming,’ Keely said in 2001, as reported by PopSugar.
‘Tall, dark and handsome, everything that would immediately attract anyone.
He had this mischievous sparkle in his eyes.
I thought, ‘Wow, wow!’’
Pierce knew immediately that Keely was something special.
‘I love her vitality, her passion.
She has this strength that I couldn’t live without.
When Keely looks at me, I feel weak,’ he said.
Piers and Keely were romantically married in Ireland in 2001.
The idea was to get married in 2000, but Pierce’s 16-year-old son was involved in a car accident in the US.
He suffered a spinal injury as a result and his father postponed the wedding ceremony.
But in the end, Piers and Keeley celebrated their dream wedding at Ashford Castle, a magnificent 13th century Irish fortress.
The newlyweds invited 120 close friends and family to the fabulous hotel, but Piers also funded an intensive security operation to keep the media and public at bay.
Raising sons together, the couple have two sons and share a passion for the outdoors.
They work to prevent whale hunting and the destruction of marine life.
There’s no doubt that Pierce and Keely have created the perfect marriage: their two sons were born shortly after the couple started dating.
Since then, Keely has continued to work hard on her career while taking care of her children.
Keely also cared for Pierce’s children from his previous marriage to Cassandra Harris, who died of cancer in 1991.
Keely Shay Smith’s weight Before meeting Pierce, Keely was a model and also an actress at the time.
In recent years, Keely’s weight has become widely discussed, especially in gossip magazines.
I guess everyone can probably see that she has put on weight, but who doesn’t as they age?
Some media outlets have suggested that Keely may have a thyroid problem, but I believe her radiant beauty is undeniable.
Unfortunately, Keeley is often the target of cruel trolls because of her shape-shifting appearance.
Meanwhile, the 007 star says he still loves his ‘passionate’ wife, who makes him ‘weak in the knees’.
‘I found a great woman in Keeley Shay,’ he said.
‘If I searched a million times, I wouldn’t find one as good.’
Some tabloids have estimated that Keely has added about 30 pounds since marrying Piers.
This speculation has also led people and the media to speculate that Piers will leave his wife.
However, the couple have never been the cause of cheating rumours and are constantly seen kissing and holding hands in public.
Of course, it’s not easy to deal with trolls who have an opinion on Keely’s looks and shame her.
But Piers has always been supportive of his wife and often shows his love for her in public, which is a testament to how much he loves her.
And it’s also very refreshing to have a wife in Hollywood who doesn’t have surgery to look younger.
Keely seems confident, and Pierce loves his wife just the way she is.
