Pierce spoke of the pain he's experienced in life and how his loving wife and children have supported him throughout these traumas. For him, life is about taking the positive things while you can.

When asked by People what would be his perfect day, he answered, "It was yesterday. I painted in my studio, then I went down and sat on the beach, read and did some drawing, Adding, "and then I had lunch with Keely."

He said, "Around 5 o’clock, I went out and watched the sun go down. Keely sat beside me, we had a glass of champagne and talked about the day." The loved-up star added, "It’s very simple—and the best."
