Pierce and Keely met the year before he made his James Bond debut and got married in 2001 at Ballintubber Abbey in his native Ireland.
He was previously married to Australian actress Cassandra Harris, herself a Bond girl to Roger Moore in For Your Eyes Only, from 1980 until her death of ovarian cancer in 1991.

Pierce is the biological father of three sons, two by Keely – 23-year-old Dylan and 19-year-old Paris – and a 36-year-old called Sean by Cassandra.
He is also the adoptive father of Charlotte and Christopher Brosnan, Cassandra’s two children by her first husband Dermot Harris, whose brother was Richard Harris of Harry Potter fame.
Charlotte, who like Christopher took Pierce’s surname when she was adopted, died at the age of 42 in 2013 of the same illness that claimed her mother’s life.
He has often been vocal about how Keely saved him from depression following his personal tragedies, describing her as a ‘ strength I wouldn’t be able to live without.’
Pierce is now a proud grandfather of three – Charlotte’s children Isabella, 21, and Lucas, 14, as well as Sean’s four-year-old daughter Marley May.
