Pierce Brosnan’s ‘spiritual journey’ with wife of 22 years: ‘We’ve been down the road’

Pierce Brosnan and his wife, Keely Shaye Smith, have been married for 22 years and still share a deep love for each other as the actor pursues a lifelong interest in art.

Pierce Brosnan and his wife of 22 years, Keely Shaye Smith, have been through it all, and they're still going strong.

"We like each other a lot. We love each other a lot," Brosnan told Fox News Digital of the secret to their relationship. "And we've been down the road, and we've seen many, many hardships as families do, as we all do."

He continued, "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." 

Brosnan, whose latest film is the action thriller "Fast Charlie," credits Smith with being "supportive" over the years as a partner and parent.

"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," the 70-year-old said.

"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."

The Irish-born actor has had a lifelong hidden passion for art: "It's always been there. Just quietly there."

He continued, "I've always been a painter, an artist at heart. So, it's a work in progress, just like the acting. You just … keep showing up, and you refine yourself and you refine the work and the message you want to tell the people."

With his pursuit of art well underway, there’s not much left on Brosnan’s bucket list.

"I have to write the memoirs here. I hear myself telling the same old story, and I sound like some old goat," he joked.

Brosnan will have plenty of people on hand to share his stories over the holidays.

"Keely’s cooking up a storm. The boys are coming home. Friends are going to come over. Very simple, very simple, and that's what we shall do," he said.

But don’t look to him for any New Year’s resolutions.

"It's too early for New Year's resolutions," he said with a laugh. "Let's just finish the year out and in good faith and hope and love each other. Let's just do that. Let's just be kind to each other. That would be a good resolution."
