If you need any proof that true love exists just look at Pierce Brosnan and his wife Keely Shaye Smith. They are the epitome of lovebirds, despite the fact that they’ve been married for 21 years. They still appear to be smitten with each other and when you look at them you just know that they deeply care about each other. So let’s find out a bit more about this amazing couple and why we consider them to be #relationshipgoals.
1. It’s Pierce’s second marriage. His first wife died of cancer and it hit him hard. He was still mourning her when he met Keely 3 years later. He said that they just hit it off immediately and spent their first date talking all night until the early hours of the morning. The great thing about meeting Keely was that she encouraged him to mourn and go through the process instead of trying to distract him.
2. Pierce has mentioned that Keely’s strength and emotional support really got him through some tough times. Supporting each other in times of need is a really important part of any relationship. So we think the fact that Pierce credits Kelly with being his biggest supporter and being a very compassionate wife means that not only are they good at supporting each other but also that Pierce appreciates it a lot. And appreciation is also a skill that does wonders for relationships.
3. Making time for each other and finding ways to spend time together is key. When they first started dating Pierce missed seeing Keely all the time, so he would often send her tickets to come to see him. And these days, even after over two decades of being together, they still make sure to go on little weekend getaways together just to have some quality time. And you know, it shows, you see those two together they’re always hugging or kissing or looking completely besotted with each other. It’s actually really refreshing to see a Hollywood couple who doesn’t shy away from public displays of affection and doesn’t care if they look like fools in love, even after 20 years.
4. Trust and a sense of humor go a long way in a relationship. Pierce is a pretty handsome man, and he often gets roles that involve him making out with other actresses. You’d think that would drive Keely mad with jealousy but she’s actually pretty chill about it. She’s got a good sense of humor about it and she trusts her man completely. So all of those on-screen romances aren’t an issue for their marriage at all. In fact, Keely even shared that she understands why people find her husband so sexy, it’s not just his looks, it’s the fact that he truly appreciates women. But she knows that the only woman in his life is her, so she’s got nothing to worry about.
5. And just in case you were wondering just how devoted Pierce is to his wife – he wore his wedding ring and a watch that Keely bought him in his latest movie Black Adam. When asked in an interview on the red carpet about this, Keely said that it meant a lot to her that he chose to take these mementos of their relationship with him, even into the world of the supernatural and fantastical.
