The actor’s remarks underscored a sense of gratitude and admiration for their enduring partnership.\n As they continue to navigate life’s ups and downs, Pierce Brosnan and Keely Shaye Smith stand as a testament to the resilience and enduring power of love.\n \u201cWe like each other a lot. We love each other a lot,\u201d Brosnan, 70, said of the secret to the pair\u2019s relationship during a Tuesday, December 12, interview with Fox News. \u201cAnd we\u2019ve been down the road, and we\u2019ve seen many, many hardships as families do, as we all do.\u201d\n The actor continued: \u201cBut watching someone grow up with you and grow old with you is a very spiritual journey. To watch each other change \u2026 whatever it may be, the hair [or] the waist \u2026 it\u2019s [about] the love in the heart.\u201d\n Brosnan met Smith, 60, in 1994, three years after his first wife, Cassandra Harris, died of ovarian cancer. Prior to Harris\u2019 death, she and Brosnan welcomed son Sean in 1983. (Brosnan also adopted Harris\u2019 daughter, Charlotte, and son, Chris, whom she shared with her late ex.)\n \u201cWe were meant to find each other. I thank God for her every day,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen Keely looks at me, I go weak. I love her vitality, her passion. She has this strength that I wouldn\u2019t be able to live without.\u201d\n Pierce Brosnan and Keely Shaye Smith at the premiere of \u2018Goldeneye\u2019 in 1995 Peter Carrette Archive\/Getty Images\n Brosnan and Smith tied the knot in Ireland in 2001. They share sons Dylan and Paris, born in 1997 and 2001, respectively. On Tuesday, Brosnan gushed about the \u201csupportive\u201d figure Smith has been for him and his sons.\n \u201cKeeley is a journalist, a reporter. She\u2019s an artist in her own right. And as a woman, she has made a family for our sons,\u201d he said. \u201cShe allows me to go out into the wild blue yonder and do what I do as a man, as an actor, [she] always has.\u201d\n Despite forays into the \u201cblue yonder\u201d for his acting career, Brosnan always carries Smith with him. He subtly honored his wife by wearing his real wedding ring on screen in his 2022 film Black Adam.\n \u201cThis is our wedding ring and this is a watch that Keely bought me many years ago with an inscription that [reads], \u2018Time flies on love\u2019s wings,’\u201d Brosnan told Entertainment Tonight at the movie\u2019s premiere. \u201cI decided to wear it for this character. It seemed appropriate.\u201d\n Brosnan isn\u2019t the only romantic in the relationship.
