Pierce Brosnan and Keely Shaye Smith Shine at “MobLand” Premiere in New York
Hollywood icon Pierce Brosnan and his wife of many years, Keely Shaye Smith, enjoyed a glamorous date night at the New York City premiere of “MobLand” on Monday evening. The celebrated actor and his spouse were a vision on the red carpet, drawing attention at the event held for the new Paramount+ series.
A Dapper Appearance for Pierce Brosnan
The distinguished 71-year-old actor, recently seen being supported by his granddaughter Isabella, exuded sophistication. Brosnan sported a refined blue suit paired with a crisp white shirt and a sleek silver tie. His signature white-gray hair was neatly styled back, completing his debonair look for the evening premiere.
Keely Shaye Smith Displays Stunning Transformation
Keely Shaye Smith, the 61-year-old philanthropist and wife of Brosnan, turned heads as she showcased her remarkable weight transformation, reportedly around 100lbs. She donned a chic black lace mini dress featuring elegant three-quarter sleeves.

- Footwear: Peep-toe black heels
- Hair: Long, straight brunette locks styled in a subtle pompadour
The thigh-length dress highlighted her slender legs and was perfectly complemented by peep-toe black heels. Smith opted for a sophisticated hairstyle, wearing her long brunette hair straight and slightly teased into a subtle pompadour.
Celebrating Curves and Enduring Love
Keely’s confident style is consistent with past statements. Last year, she shared with Vogue, “I never shy away from … my curves. I never hide in baggy clothing.” Pierce Brosnan has also publicly expressed his admiration for his wife, adding, “I love my wife’s curves.” Their mutual appreciation and affection were evident at the premiere.
A Long-Lasting Union
Pierce and Keely’s marriage is a testament to enduring love in Hollywood. They exchanged vows on August 4, 2001, and are parents to two sons, Dylan, 28, and Paris, 24. Their appearance at the “MobLand” premiere highlighted not only their individual style but also their strong bond as a couple.
Pierce Brosnan’s Past and Finding Love Again
Prior to his marriage with Keely, Brosnan was married to Cassandra Harris. He embraced her children, Charlotte and Christopher, as his own, adopting them after their father’s passing in 1986. Together, Pierce and Cassandra welcomed a son, Sean, in 1983. The family faced immense tragedy with Charlotte’s untimely death from ovarian cancer in 2013 at the young age of 41.
Love found Pierce again just over three years after Charlotte’s passing when he met American journalist Keely in Mexico.
Meeting in Mexico and Instant Connection
Recounting their first encounter in Mexico in 1994, Keely told People magazine of her immediate attraction to Pierce, describing him as “captivating” with a “mischievous sparkle in his eyes.”
Pierce reciprocated these sentiments in the same interview, praising his wife profoundly: “I found a great woman in Keely Shaye. Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good.”
Keely’s Support Through Grief
Brosnan has openly spoken about Keely’s unwavering support, particularly during times of grief following the loss of his first wife. In a 2013 interview with the Irish Times, he expressed, “Keely has always been kind and compassionate and encouraged me to mourn Cassie. … I suppose Keely is my North Star, always looking out for me.”
Public Displays of Affection and Milestones
Pierce frequently shares his deep affection and devotion for Keely on Instagram. The couple often celebrates significant milestones, including anniversaries and birthdays, with the public.
For Keely’s 60th birthday in September 2023, Pierce honored her with a heartfelt Instagram post: “Sixty roses for my brown eyed girl on her 60th birthday.”
Reflecting on their initial meeting, he lovingly added, “Forever happy and blessed was I to be sitting there when you walked around the corner early one morning in Cabo San Lucas.”
Enduring Support Through Further Loss
Keely has been a pillar of strength for Pierce through further profound grief, supporting him after his eldest daughter Charlotte’s death from ovarian cancer in 2013. Tragically, this was the same disease that claimed her mother’s life 21 years prior. Charlotte was only 42 years old at the time of her passing.
Later in 2013, speaking with the Irish Mirror, Pierce again highlighted how his wife helped him navigate his bereavement, saying, “Love is just the most beautiful, joyous feeling. It can come from many places.”
He continued, focusing on his relationship with Keely, “Hopefully the one who is beside you, the one who is there on the pillow beside you in the morning – my wife.”
Further elaborating on their bond, he added, “We seem to do well at being together and being in love and, more importantly, liking each other. The like factor is a great thing. Love cannot burn constantly.”
“It’s very hard for it to be so intense. But it’s wonderful. I tell her I love her everyday. It’s important to say that,” Brosnan concluded.
