Pierce Brosnan Celebrates 23 Years of Marriage: “We Go Way Back”

Time flies when you’re living in marital bliss, and for Pierce Brosnan, his long history with his beloved wife, Keely Shaye Smith, is a testament to this. Celebrating 23 years of marriage this year, the former James Bond star feels particularly appreciative of the decades they’ve spent growing closer.

Brosnan was previously married to Australian actress Cassandra Harris. The two wed in 1980 and stayed together until Harris tragically passed away from ovarian cancer in 1991, at the age of 43. Brosnan met Keely, a journalist, in 1994 while they were in Mexico. Over the next seven years, they built a solid foundation that has resulted in a long-lasting marriage, marking another loving anniversary this summer.

On August 5, Brosnan took to social media to celebrate their two decades of marriage. “Happy 23rd anniversary my darling Keely,” he captioned a heartfelt post. “My beautiful brown-eyed girl, my north, my south, my east, and west. All my love, should I fall behind, wait for me.”

The affectionate words were accompanied by photos showcasing the tender affection between the two. These images serve as a visual timeline of their relationship, spanning from early courtship days to candid, romantic shots from recent years. They prove that while many things change, their love remains constant.

Keely also marked the occasion with her own celebratory Instagram post. She shared a photo from their wedding, featuring Brosnan looking particularly dapper, and Keely radiant in a lacy white dress. “August 4th, 2001, Ashford Castle, County Mayo, Ireland,” Keely recounted before quoting, “You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest person I have ever known.”

She then continued, “Happy Anniversary my love @piercebrosnanofficial. Here’s to the next 23 years together. May they continue to be creative, adventurous, loving, inspiring, and joyful. Time flies on love’s wings.”

While their wedding anniversary is a significant date for Brosnan and Keely, there’s another day Keely holds equally dear: the day they met. They first crossed paths at a party where she was supposed to interview Ted Danson, who was pulled away, leading her to encounter Brosnan instead.

“4-8-94 was my lucky day,” Keely shared with her social media followers. “How could I have known as I walked around the corner and into your life that my destiny was about to change forever? Thanking my lucky stars that I had the courage to introduce myself to you and forever grateful for the connection and family we share three decades later.” She commemorated this post by captioning it, “Happy 30th Anniversary! @piercebrosnanofficial. Time flies on love’s wings.”

The enduring love between Pierce Brosnan and Keely Shaye Smith is apparent, as they joyously celebrate these milestones. Their story is a heartwarming reminder of the enduring power of love.
