Pierce Brosnan's over two-decade marriage to Keely Shaye has not been without its "hardships," but it's supporting each other through them that keeps them going.
The former James Bond star marked his 22nd anniversary with the journalist in September, and describes their years together as a "spiritual journey."
The two first met in 1994 at a party in Mexico; three years later they welcomed their first son Dylan Thomas, followed by his brother Paris Beckett, born six months before the couple's wedding in 2001.
Speaking with Fox News while promoting his latest action thriller, Fast Charlie, Pierce endearingly said about Keely and their marriage: "We like each other a lot. We love each other a lot."
He continued: "And we've been down the road, and we've seen many, many hardships as families do, as we all do," before adding: "But watching someone grow up with you and grow old with you is a very spiritual journey."
The Mamma Mia! actor went on: "To watch each other change… whatever it may be, the hair, the waist. But it's the love in the heart."

And as a woman, she has made a family for our sons," and noted: "She allows me to go out into the wild blue yonder and do what I do as a man, as an actor, [she] always has."
