Pierce Brosnan has shared a sweet birthday tribute to his wife Keely in a rare acknowledgment of his low-key personal life.
The Irish actor took to Instagram on Monday to celebrate the birthday of his wife, Keely Shaye Smith, to whom he has been married for over twenty years.
Pierce posted a candid shot of the American filmmaker making a refreshing beverage after a dip in the water, much to the delight of his 1.6m followers. The tropical photo provides a rare insight into the celebrity couple's private relationship, which dates back to a chance encounter at a party in 1994.
Pierce, now 68, captioned the image, "My beautiful luscious love Keely on her 58th trip around the sun yesterday …apres swim, making coconut water.💥❤️💥❤️💥 Happiest of birthdays it was! 💥💥💥." The adorable shout-out comes just a month after Pierce Brosnan celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary with a romantic tribute to his beloved wife.

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.
