Pierce Brosnan has once again proven what a great partner he is to his wife Keely Shaye Smith.

The post went viral with endless fat-shaming and nasty comments aimed at Pierce's wife Keely, before the actor decided to take matters into his own hands and made a statement of his own.
The Irish actor – who regularly posts loving snaps of him and his wife on social media – spoke out strongly to protect his wife, saying 'he loves every curve' of her body and that he sees her as the most beautiful woman in the world.

"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."
The pair have been together since they met in 1994, where the James Bond actor met journalist Keely at a party in Cabo San Lucas a year before he made his Bond debut in Golden Eye.
Speaking of their meeting, Pierce later told People he couldn't get enough of Keely from the moment he laid eyes on her.
"Wherever I went in the world I missed her, and I’d send her tickets to come so we could be together. We just seemed to fit," adding: “I found a great woman in Keely Shaye. Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good.”
The couple have two children together Dylan and Paris.
Pierce has three children from his marriage to his first wife, Cassandra Harris, who sadly died from Ovarian cancer in 1991, and adopted Cassandra's kids from her previous marriage, Charlotte Brosnan and Christopher Brosnan.
