Which actress did actor Pierce Brosnan marry in 2001?

Pierce Brosnan married journalist and actress Keely Shaye Smith in 2001. They married on August 4, 2001, at Ballintubber Abbey in County Mayo, Ireland.

Smith met Brosnan in 1994 at a party in Mexico, several years after Brosnan had become internationally known as James Bond. She worked as a television correspondent and environmental journalist, and she also appeared in acting roles. Brosnan had previously been married to actress Cassandra Harris, who died in 1986.

Brosnan and Smith have two sons, Dylan and Paris. They have also worked together on environmental causes and have frequently appeared as a couple at film premieres and charity events. The marriage is sometimes confused with Brosnan’s professional association with the actresses who played opposite him in the Bond films, but Smith was his real-life partner and wife.
