Brosnan marked his 71st birthday on Thursday, May 16, and Keely Shaye, 60, paid tribute to the former James Bond star in a touching Instagram post.
“Happy Birthday to the love of my life @piercebrosnanofficial 🎂,” Keely Shaye wrote, alongside a shirtless throwback photo of the actor. “You are my rock, my anchor, my everything … and I love you endlessly.”
For Keely Shaye’s 60th birthday in September 2023, Brosnan shared just how important she was in his life by gifting her five dozen roses along with a touching tribute to her recalling their first meeting.
Pierce Brosnan opened up about the challenges that have fortified his marriage to Keely Shaye Smith, his wife of over 20 years.
“We like each other a lot. We love each other a lot,” Brosnan, 70, said of the secret to the pair’s relationship during a Tuesday, December 12, interview with Fox News. “And we’ve been down the road, and we’ve seen many, many hardships as families do, as we all do.”
The actor continued: “But watching someone grow up with you and grow old with you is a very spiritual journey. To watch each other change … whatever it may be, the hair [or] the waist … it’s [about] the love in the heart.”
Brosnan met Smith, 60, in 1994, three years after his first wife, Cassandra Harris, died of ovarian cancer. Prior to Harris’ death, she and Brosnan welcomed son Sean in 1983. (Brosnan also adopted Harris’ daughter, Charlotte, and son, Chris, whom she shared with her late ex.)
During a 2018 interview with Closer, Brosnan opened up about being “lucky enough to find love again” with Smith after losing his first wife.
“Pierce is intelligent, captivating and his real beauty emanates from the soul,” she told the outlet. “And, like a fine wine, he’s aging beautifully.”
