Pierce Brosnan says he and wife Keely Shaye Smith are “blessed” to have been married for 24 years.
“Keely and I love each other and are blessed to have each other as companions in this life, and we’ve created a good life for ourselves with hard work [and] perseverance of life,” he told Fox News.
The actor explained that “marriage is always about solving problems” together but said “ultimately we just enjoy each other’s company enormously, and she’s given me wings to fly and lets me gallivant around the world making movies.”
In another interview with Fox News, Brosnan shared, “Keely and I, it’ll be 31 years here soon. And it’s all gone by in the blink of an eye, the speed of a flame.”
“We like each other, and we have wonderful sons, and we have a creative life. It’s always about solving problems and how you solve the problems and how can you deal with them, and the stresses and strains of life,” he said, adding, “She still makes my heart sing, and she still makes my world turn.”
Brosnan and Smith met in 1994, three years after the JAMES BOND star’s first wife, Cassandra Harris, passed away after a battle with ovarian cancer. Brosnan and Smith tied the knot in 2001 and are parents to two sons, Dylan and Paris.
“I had a great marriage which sadly had its own ending, and I was lucky enough to find love again. We were meant to find each other. I thank God for her every day,” Brosnan said in a 2018 interview. “When Keely looks at me, I go weak. I love her vitality, her passion. She has this strength that I wouldn’t be able to live without.”
Brosnan even brought a piece of their marriage to the big screen in his recent role in BLACK ADAM.
“This is our wedding ring and this is a watch that Keely bought me many years ago with an inscription that [reads], ‘Time flies on love’s wings,’” Brosnan told Entertainment Tonight. “I decided to wear it for this character. It seemed appropriate.”
Smith loved that her husband wore the ring and watch in the movie, sharing, “I love those emblems, that he took those with him into the superpower, superhero realm.”
In a recent Instagram post celebrating their anniversary, Brosnan wrote, “Happy 23rd anniversary my darling Keely my beautiful brown eyed girl, my north, my south, my east and west. All my love, should I fall behind wait for me.”
