Pierce Brosnan’s wife Keely gushed over her husband in touching throwback snaps as the couple celebrate 31 years together.
The journalist, 61, took to Instagram on Wednesday as she shared an array of snaps from their red carpet appearances over the years after first meeting in Mexico back in 1994.
Posting a collection of glamorous photos from over the course of their relationship, she wrote: ‘April 26, 1995 – Our first red carpet appearance in London. Still stepping out 31 years later.’
Marking the date of when they met she added: ‘Happy Anniversary my love! 4-8-94 was my lucky day.’
Most recently Pierce, 71, and Keely made headlines after they wowed on the red carpet at the MobLand premiere in New York City last month.
Keely, who tied the knot with the actor in 2001, displayed her weight loss — estimated to be around 7 stone — in a black, lace mini dress with three-quarter sleeves.

The couple looked besotted with each other after all these years, and Pierce has never been shy to compliment his wife in interviews and on Instagram.
The actor was previously married to Cassandra Harris and adopted her daughter Charlotte and son Christopher when their dad passed away in 1986. And together, they welcomed son Sean in 1983.
Charlotte died from ovarian cancer in 2013 at age 41.
Just over three years on after Charlotte’s tragic passing, Pierce met Keely while in Mexico.
Upon meeting Pierce in Mexico in 1994, Keely told People that she immediately found the Bond actor ‘captivating’ and that he had a ‘mischievous sparkle in his eyes’.
In the same interview, the actor said of his wife: ‘I found a great woman in Keely Shaye. Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good.’
Gushing over how Keely has supported him in his grief for his first wife, he told the Irish Times in 2013: ‘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.’
The star also showed his support for his wife when back in 2022, after the couple celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary in the August, a cruel post about Keely’s weight went viral on Facebook.

In the post, which has since been deleted trolls compared how her body had changed since first meeting Pierce in 1994.
Yet Pierce made sure to defend his wife as he replied: ‘Friends offered her surgery to reduce her weight. But I strongly love every curve of her body.
‘She is the most beautiful woman in my eyes. And also because she had our five children.’
He continued: ‘In the past, I truly loved her for her person, not only for her beauty, and now I’m loving her even more that she is my children’s mother.
‘And I am very proud of her, and I always seek to be worthy of her love.’
Pierce also often shares his love for and devotion to Keely on Instagram where the couple celebrate milestones including anniversaries and birthdays.
Celebrating Keely’s 60th birthday in September 2023, Pierce penned in his birthday post: ‘Sixty roses for my brown eyed girl on her 60th birthday.’
Referring to their first meeting he added: ‘Forever happy and blessed was I to be sitting there when you walked around the corner early one morning in Cabo San Lucas.’
Keely also supported her husband through more immeasurable grief, when his eldest daughter Charlotte died in 2013 from ovarian cancer, the same disease which claimed her mother’s life 21 years earlier. She was just 42 years old.

Later that year, he told the Irish Mirror how his wife continued to help him through his grief as he said: ‘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 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.’
