Off The Record
Keely Brosnan, 61, Shows Off Stunning New Look After Weight Loss—bond Star Husband Praises Her Beauty
Keely Shaye Smith, the wife of Pierce Brosnan, has astounded fans with her remarkable weight reduction makeover.
The American author and journalist, who married the James Bond actor in 2001 after dating him since 1994, flaunted her trim figure on Monday night at the MobLand premiere in New York City.
Keely, 61, joined the 71-year-old Mamma Mia! singer on the red carpet and showed off her noticeable weight loss by looking stunning in a black lace dress that hung down to her thighs.
The philanthropist accessorized her exquisite look with a pair of peep-toe black heels, while she wore her long, straight brunette hair loose and teased in a delicate pompadour.
During her 2006 appearance in the ‘Shape Issue’ of Vogue magazine, Keely expressed her pride in her curvaceous figure. Her spouse said, “I love my wife’s curves,” and stated he thought his wife was “stunning.”
“I never shy away from colour or my curves,” insisted the mother-of-two. “I like to play up my neckline and shoulders. If a jacket is pulling in the bust, I might just move the button an inch. But I never hide in baggy clothing.”
However, Keely has recently displayed a more trim shape, even if her spouse adores her curves. Some admirers initially noticed the producer’s weight loss in 2024.
Wearing a sleek black suit and matching shirt, Keely showed off a considerably smaller figure when attending the US-Ireland Alliance’s 18th annual Oscar Wilde Awards with Pierce on March 7 of last year.
Although the exact start of Keely’s weight loss struggle is unknown, the wife of the Bond actor showed off her passion for a nutritious diet on her Instagram profile back in 2020.
In September of that year, the director posted colorful pictures of fruits, including mangos, on her social media accounts and described how she was “harvesting… and collecting fresh, organic coconut water.”
Keely was smiling broadly and holding a fresh green coconut in front of the camera. The post added, ‘#growyourownfood #tropicalliving’.
Throughout her marriage, the author has been the target of nasty remarks and trolls regarding her size. She seemed to put on a few pounds in the years following her marriage to Irish beauty Pierce.
She posted a strong message about her body on her Instagram page last year, expressing her “gratitude” for everything it has given her over the past 60 years.
The journalist, who travels the world with her spouse, posted a quote from trauma-trained somatic experience practitioner Lexy Florentina that said, “Look at your body.”
“Look at those arms that have held people they love. Look at those eyes that have seen oceans and mountains and big green trees.”
“Look at those legs that have carried you through your longest journeys. Look at your feet that have held you up on your hardest days.”
“Look at your smile that has grinned a million times at the moments that have brought you joy.”
“Look at your body… not for the curves or texture but for the moments that this body has given you. Look at your body. Now what do you see?” concluded the statement.
Keely captioned the quote, “Gratitude for all my body has given and accomplished in 60 years.”
In 2023, when discussing the secret to their long relationship, Pierce told Fox News Digital, “We like each other a lot. We love each other a lot. And we’ve been down the road, and we’ve seen many, many hardships as families do, as we all do.”
“But 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.”
At the beginning of her career in the spotlight, Keely worked as a model before attempting acting.
But her modelling days were short-lived, explaining to the Chicago Tribune in 1995: “I realized at some point I was propagating a beauty myth, so I left modelling and acted for a year.”
The couple celebrates milestones like anniversaries and birthdays together, and Pierce frequently posts about his love and devotion for Keely on Instagram.
Pierce shared a cute photo of himself and his wife in front of a large arrangement of flowers in September 2023, Keely’s 60th birthday.
Pierce wrote, “Sixty roses for my brown eyed girl on her 60th birthday. Forever happy and blessed was I to be sitting there when you walked around the corner early one morning in Cabo San Lucas.”
Pierce posted a collage of his wife and himself over the years in August to commemorate their 23rd wedding anniversary.
“Happy 23rd anniversary my darling Keely my beautiful brown eyed girl, my north, my south, my east and west,” he penned. “All my love, should I fall behind wait for me.”
The movie star’s passionate public adoration of his life partner, whom he has dubbed his “North Star,” has won over fans. Keely and Pierce are parents to two children together.
Throughout the 1980s, Keely starred in a few tiny TV and movie parts before switching to journalism and documentary filmmaking to support the cause of safeguarding the oceans and marine life.
The crusader, who was raised on Oahu, Hawaii, has devoted a significant portion of her career to preserving the waters in Mexico and the neighboring Pacific island.
Keely told People that she found Pierce ‘captivating’ right away when she first saw him in Mexico in 1994, saying he had a’mischievous twinkle in his eyes’.Regarding his wife, the actor stated in the same interview: “I found a great woman in Keely Shaye.” I couldn’t find one as good even if I looked a million times.
Fans were enthralled with the couple’s romance and were especially moved by Keely’s support of her husband throughout his ongoing grief over his first wife. Keely and the actor have two kids, Paris and Dylan.
He married Cassandra Harris in 1980, but she tragically passed away from ovarian cancer in 1991, just one day after their eleventh wedding anniversary, at the age of 39.
When the actress, who was born in Australia and is known to her friends and family as Cassie, met Pierce, she already had a son named Christopher and a daughter named Charlotte. Pierce formally adopted the children in 1986 following the death of their biological father, Dermot Harris. Sean William Brosnan, the couple’s son, was also born in 1983.
Pierce talked about how Cassandra’s legacy endured after her untimely death when Charlotte was 20, Christopher was 19, and Sean was only eight years old.
He told People in 1992: “She has made me the man I am, the actor I am, the father I am. She’s forever embedded in every fibre of my being. She’s there with me every day. I was so blessed to have met someone like that.”
He also mentioned the ‘terrible cruelty’ of losing someone so close to him and with whom he shared so much.
“This is the first time in my life I’ve ever experienced bereavement, and it’s overwhelming,” he said.
He described in graphic detail how their youngest son, Sean, would “play doctor” and nurse his mother after chemotherapy sessions when she felt tired and queasy throughout Cassandra’s 18-month struggle with the severe illness.
He also remembered the tragic moment his 14-year-old wife passed away in his arms while Charlotte, who was then a student at RADA in London, was on the phone and Christopher was in the room with him. We were all together. He said, “And that’s how she went to God.”
In a 2013 interview with the Irish Times, Pierce commended Keely for helping him deal with his grief over previous tragedies.
“Keely has always been kind and compassionate and encouraged me to mourn Cassie,” he explained. “I suppose Keely is my North Star, always looking out for me.”
Additionally, she helped her husband endure even greater sorrow when his oldest daughter, Charlotte, passed away in 2013 from ovarian cancer—the same illness that killed her mother 21 years prior. She was only forty-two.
Announcing her death in a statement, Pierce said, “On June 28 my darling daughter Charlotte Emily passed on to eternal life, having succumbed to ovarian cancer.”
“She was surrounded by her husband Alex, children Isabella and Lucas and brothers Christopher and Sean.”
“Charlotte fought her cancer with grace and humanity, courage and dignity. Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful dear girl.”
“We pray for her and that the cure for this wretched disease will be close at hand soon. We thank everyone for their heartfelt condolences.”
In order to be at his daughter’s bedside, the Irish actor reportedly took a plane back to the UK from Eastern Europe, where he had been filming the spy thriller November Man.
He revealed to the Irish Mirror later that year how his wife had supported him during yet another period of bereavement for Charlotte.
“Love is just the most beautiful, joyous feeling. It can come from many places. Hopefully the one who is beside you, the one who is there on the pillow beside you in the morning – my wife,” he said.
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.”
Despite Keely’s career taking a more subdued turn in recent years and Pierce’s popularity still rising, their love has endured.
The two just went out on Monday night to see the New York City premiere of MobLand.
With his short, white-gray hair slicked back, the 71-year-old actor, who was recently supported by his granddaughter Isabella, looked dashing in a blue suit, white shirt, and silver tie.
Tom Hardy and Helen Mirren co-star in his new drama series, which debuted on Paramount+ on March 30.
“Power is up for grabs as two warring crime families clash in a battle that threatens to topple empires,” reads a synopsis on IMDb.
It continues, “In the crossfire stands Harry Da Souza, a street-smart ‘fixer’ who knows too well where loyalties lie when opposing forces collide.”
