Who is Pierce Brosnan's wife?
Pierce married Keely Shaye Smith back in August 2001, in a church ceremony at the historic Ballintubber Abbey in County Mayo, Ireland. The pair immediately connected after meeting in the mid-'90s at a party in Mexico and quickly embarked on an exciting long-distance romance.
"Wherever I went in the world I missed her, and I’d send her tickets to come so we could be together. We just seemed to fit," Pierce told People magazine. “I found a great woman in Keely Shaye. Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good.”
Pierce and Keely have two sons together, Dylan, 24, and Paris, 20. The transatlantic couple resides primarily in Malibu but also owns residences in Hawaii and Ireland.
Who was Pierce Brosnan's first wife?
