Pierce Brosnan, famous for his iconic role as James Bond, appeared at The Oscar Wilde Awards event with his wife, Keely Brosnan, by his side. On the red carpet, they were photographed together, and as soon as the pictures became public, people were shocked by Keely’s sudden transformation.
Pierce Brosnan attended the latest Oscar Wilde Awards ceremony with his wife, Keely Brosnan, causing quite a stir. Despite Pierce’s fame for his James Bond role and iconic films like “Mamma Mia” and “Mrs. Doubtfire,” it was his wife who captured the public’s attention.
Keely has been accompanying Pierce throughout half of his career, as a friend, lover, and dedicated wife. They got married in 2001 after Pierce’s first wife, Cassandra Harris, passed away in 1991.
Now, Keely and Pierce are happily married with four children — Christopher, 51, and Sean, 40, from Pierce’s previous marriage, and Dylan, 27, and Paris Brosnan, 23, whom the couple share. Aside from being a mother, Keely is also a chef in the kitchen.
“Keely is such a wonderful cook,” said Pierce lovingly about his wife. “I always have the best table in the house when I’m sitting at her table. But date nights are Giorgio Baldi [a restaurant in Santa Monica]. That’s where we had our first date,” added the 70-year-old actor.
Pierce had only kind words to say about his spouse, though the public was not always so kind to Keely. Due to her larger size, she faced bullying on the internet. However, her husband does not care about her looks; he believes that love comes from the heart, regardless of appearance.
“Watching someone grow up with you and grow old with you is a very spiritual journey. To watch each other change … whatever it may be, the hair, the waist. But it’s the love in the heart,” said the actor in an interview about his wife, foreshadowing the changes that were yet to come.
After being criticized on the internet for so many years due to her body, Keely showed up to the Oscar Wilde Awards with a drastically slimmer figure. Fans were surprised and flooded the post of the couple’s red carpet looks with weight-related comments.
“Keely looks fantastic. Congratulations on the weight loss,” commented a user. “How much weight Keely lost!” another chimed in. “Lost soo much weight,” a commenter agreed.
As Keely was praised for her successful weight loss, one fan couldn’t let go of how the public treated the woman previously. “Didn’t they make fun of her for being overweight?” a user asked.
They did, but despite Keely’s weight, her husband was always there for her with words of affirmation and gratitude for having Keely in his life.
“We like each other a lot. We love each other a lot,” Pierce has said. “And we’ve been down the road, and we’ve seen many, many hardships as families do, as we all do.”
Keely supported Pierce after his previous wife passed away from cancer, being there for him during his darkest times. Hand in hand, they navigated the challenges that come with having a career in Hollywood.
“New York, Radio City, doing Golden Eye, James Bond, you know we have grown up together into this fantasy world and beautiful world of James Bond,” said Pierce. “Our love and life are very much connected to that role.”
Now, Pierce is not the only one praising his wife. After their recent outing, fans are in love with Keely’s new look.
“They look awesome, especially his wife,” posted a user. “What a great Bond between them. Awesome,” another commenter remarked. “Looking gorgeous and healthy,” a user wrote.

The couple attended the awards, not only to flaunt their appearance but also because Pierce won an award, paying tribute to him as one of the most successful Irish actors in history.
As he received the trophy, the actor shared heartfelt words about Keely. “Being with Keely has been the highlight of my life in moments like this,” he said.

As the couple moves forward in life, Keely’s journey from online bullying to confidence on the red carpet stands as an inspiration for many. But no matter what size she is, Pierce Brosnan is always there for Keely, appreciating the “highlight” of his life.

“She still looks absolutely fine, she gave him children, she’s faithful to him and is good to him and he is happy with her!” one fan tweeted. “I think his wife is attractive in both photos personally,” another said.
Brosnan and Smith have been married for 22 long years, and through the ups and downs, they remain as strong as ever. Brosnan has praised his wife publicly several times and shared how much love they have for each other.

“Keeley is a journalist, a reporter. She’s an artist in her own right. And as a woman, she has made a family for our sons,” he said. Pierce Brosnan shares glimpses of their relationship on social media, showing fans that there is only one woman in his life.
