One of the things that seems to be the focus of many conversations is weight loss. Unfortunately, people can also be picky and sometimes cruel if somebody is not the size they expect them to be.
Focusing on size is also something that is common in the celebrity world, and nobody is more familiar with this than Pierce Brosnan and his wife. They have been married for 23 years, and it is always nice to see them together.
Pierce left school at 16 and one on the study at Drama Center in London, England. He worked as a stage actor and eventually, made it into television and film. The television series, ‘Remington Steele’ was his big breakthrough and he went on to play in many big movies.
After meeting the love of his life, Keely Shaye Smith, he was all in. They have been married for over two decades and have two children together but there is also a problem that they have faced over the years.
Keely has put on some weight in recent years and that has caused many people to fat-shame her in social media comments. At the Oscar Wilde Awards in 2024, however, people saw change.
Pierce Brosnan’s first wife, Cassondra Harris died from ovarian cancer after they were married for 11 years. His adopted stepdaughter also died from cancer 22 years later.
Reflecting on this, he said: “She has made me the man I am, the actor I am, the father I am. She’s forever embedded in every fiber of my being. She’s there with me every day. I was so blessed to have met someone like that. … There is an incredible cruelty in it all… losing a person you shared everything with. This is the first time in my life I’ve ever experienced bereavement, and it’s overwhelming.”
In 1994, Brosnan’s life changed after he met his wife to be at a party in Mexico. She was an American journalist, and she was all in from the moment she saw him. He felt the same way, saying: “I found a great woman in Keely Shaye. … Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good.”
They were married on August 4, 2001, and they have two sons together. Pierce has often spoken about the love that he feels for his wife, saying things, such as: “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.”
He also once described her as being ‘the most amazing mother and woman’. He went on to say: “I’ve watched her grow up over 27 years, watched our life together just blossom and grow. And there are still many more dreams to be had.”
In 2023, he shared his affection for her in an anniversary post with a carousel full of throwback photos from the wedding.
He often talks about how his wife personality is what really matters to him. When people have something to say about her weight, he is quick to defend her and their relationship.
He doesn’t seem to be bothered by the taunts of strangers online and he doesn’t have an issue with his wife’s body. They have often been photographed together and they aren’t afraid of being in the spotlight.
In fact, in a 2023 interview, he said that they do enjoy each other’s company and that was a secret to their happy marriage. He said: “We like each other a lot. We love each other a lot,” Pierce revealed. “And we’ve been down the road, and we’ve seen many, many hardships as families do, as we all do.
“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, the waist. But it’s the love in the heart.”
It was obvious at the 2024 Oscar Wilde Awards that she had lost a considerable amount of weight. Fans cannot help but offer congratulations on the transformation.
There were also some who remembered how they made fun of her weight in the past and now were quick to give kudos when she lost weight.
In the end, they have a romance that will stand the test of time and it has nothing to do with size.
