Paradise! Tour Pierce Brosnan’s Beachfront Hawaii Estate With Wife Keely

According to Pierce Brosnan and wife Keely Shaye Smith, love is all you need. Whether they’re smiling for photos on the red carpet or enjoying some private R&R on the beach, the Die Another Day actor’s sweetest pics with his wife prove their love story is everlasting.

Pierce and Keely first hit it off during a party in Cabos San Lucas in 1994. At the time, she was visiting for a job assignment with Cheers actor Ted Danson, while the James Bond alum was there vacationing.

It wasn’t long before the two became a fully committed couple and showed off their love. In January 1997, Pierce and Keely welcomed their first child together, son Dylan Brosnan. The pair expanded their family with son Paris Brosnan in February 2001.

The Golden Globe nominee and the Weekend Gardener author made their love official just months later when they walked down the aisle in August 2001.

1996

Keely showed off her baby bump on the red carpet of the Michael Collins film premiere in 1996.

It practically felt like love at first sight for Pierce and Keely, and the film producer once dished he “[thanks] God every day” for his wonderful wife. Prior to tying the knot with Keely, Pierce was married to his first spouse, actress Cassandra Harris. The couple married in 1980 and welcomed their only child together, Sean Brosnan, in 1983. However, their marriage was cut short when Cassandra tragically died from ovarian cancer in 1991.

Following Cassandra’s heartbreaking death, Pierce said the devastation took him quite some time to move on. “This is the first time in my life I’ve ever experienced bereavement,” he told People in 1992. “And it’s overwhelming.”

However, everything changed when he opened up his heart to love again with Keely. “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,” he once explained. “I thank God for [Keely] every day.”
