When did the couple marry marry?
The couple met at a beach party in Mexico in 1994. Keely was there to interview Cheers actor Ted Danson when she started talking to Pierce and the pair hit it off immediately. "He was captivating. Tall, dark, and handsome," she recalled. "Everything that everybody would immediately be attracted to. He had a mischievous sparkle in his eyes."
The couple married seven years later in 2001 in Pierce's native Ireland at Ballintubber Abbey in County Mayo, in front of 100 guests. The day, which was covered exclusively by HELLO!, featured a fireworks display, a seven-tier cake and an elaborate ice sculpture of Rodin's The Kiss.
It's clear the 007 actor is totally smitten with his other half. He has previously told the Independent: "I love her vitality, her passion. She has this strength that I wouldn't be able to live without. When Keely looks at me, I go weak." The romantic has also said: "I found a great woman in Keely. Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good."
How many children do they have?
Pierce and Keely welcomed their first child, Dylan Thomas Brosnan, in 1997 followed by another son Paris Beckett four years later. The couple then tied the knot six months after Paris's arrival in the same abbey where their baby son was christened.
Who was Pierce married to before?
Pierce sadly lost his first wife, Australian actress Cassandra Harris, to cancer in December 1991. Cassie, as she was known, was 43. The couple had one son together, Sean, and Pierce also adopted Cassie's two older children Charlotte and Chris. Charlotte sadly also died of ovarian cancer in June 2013.
Pierce has credited his wife Keely for helping him heal. "Keely has always been kind and compassionate and encouraged me to mourn Cassie," he said. "I think of her all the time. I suppose Keely is my North Star, always looking out for me."
