The actor has fallen for Kelly from the moment he laid eyes on her at a Mexican bar in 1992. They started dating two years later and tied the knot after seven years. He knew something was different about her. In an interview with The Independent, the former James Bond star revealed why he was drawn to Keely in the first place.

“I love her vitality, her passion. She has this strength that I wouldn’t be able to live without. When Keely looks at me, I go weak.”

It did not take long before the two fell in love. Speaking with People in 2001, she explained that she found Pierce Brosnan “captivating.”

“[He was] “tall, dark, and handsome — everything that everybody would immediately be attracted to. He had this mischievous sparkle in his eyes. I thought, ‘Wow! Wow!’” Keely said.

“I understand why women find him sexy, because he is an appealing man. He really likes and appreciates women. … He’s intelligent, captivating and his real beauty emanates from the soul. And, like a fine wine, he’s aging beautifully.”

Brosnan had previously admitted that meeting Kelly “saved” him at a time when he was deep into a depression. He would do anything to see her, even when his career took off.

“Wherever I went in the world, I missed her, and I’d send her tickets to come so we could be together. We just seemed to fit,” Brosnan said. “I found a great woman in Keely Shaye. Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good.”

One of the secrets to their long-lasting marriage is that no matter how busy they are with their careers, they always make time for each other.

“My wife and I took a short road trip up to Santa Barbara – we were going for a romantic weekend and to look at houses and drink great wine. We didn’t listen to any music, but we just listened to the sounds of each other’s voices and sorted out the world.”

Over the years, Keely gained weight and people sometimes fat shame her but her husband always has her back and makes sure everyone knows he loves her the way she is. She is the great love of his life, that’s certain.

“Her friends offered her weight-loss surgery. However, I adore every curve in her physique. She is the most beautiful woman in my eyes. Additionally, she gave birth to our five children,” the actor was reported to have said.

Maybe Brosnan staying with her comes as a surprise to many simply because Hollywood marriages are not “meant” to last, but theirs is as solid as a rock.

“Keely and I love backgammon,” the Hollywood star told People. “We’re very competitive. I taught her how to play, and now she just trashes me. It’s just so annoying. It really, really, really is.”

In a new interview with Fox, the actor gave his fans a new update on their marriage – and what has been the key all these years. “We like each other a lot. We love each other a lot,” he said. “And we’ve been down the road, and we’ve seen many, many hardships as families do, as we all do.”

“But watching someone grow up with you and grow old with you is a very spiritual journey,” he continued. “To watch each other change … whatever it may be, the hair, the waist. But it’s the love in the heart.”

Brosnan praised his wife for always being by his side and for supporting his career from the moment they met.

“She allows me to go out into the wild blue yonder and do what I do as a man, as an actor, [she] always has,” he added. “Keely is a journalist, a reporter. She’s an artist in her own right. And as a woman, she has made a family for our sons.”

We wish this beautiful couple a lifetime of happiness, love, and laughter. They’re definitely an example of how true love can thrive in Hollywood!
