Pierce Brosnan's sweet comment about 'loving wife's curves' before her 7 stone weight loss

's wife Keely Shaye Smith has captivated fans with her striking . The American journalist and author, 61, who married the James Bond actor in 2001, made a stunning appearance at the MobLand premiere in New York City on Monday night.

Dressed in an elegant black lace dress that highlighted her new frame, Keely oozed confidence as she walked the red carpet alongside her husband, 71. Keely looked stunning at the event, as she paired her frock with a pair of stilettos.

Keely has long embraced body positivity and has never shied away from showing off her curves. Back in 2006, she was featured in Vogue’s Shape Issue, where she opened up about being what society would consider a plus-sized woman. “I never shy away from colour or my curves,” she said. “I like to play up my neckline and shoulders. If a jacket is pulling in the bust, I might just move the button an inch. But I never hide in baggy clothing.”

Keely isn't alone in appreciating her curves as her Irish-born husband for his wife’s figure. Pierce previously gushed: “I love my wife’s curves… I think she’s stunning.” And after one of his friends reportedly offered Keely surgery to lose weight, with a powerful comeback.

In a sweet message responding to a post about his wife, the actor is said to have told how 'he loves every curve' of his wife's body, calling her the 'most beautiful woman'. He apparently said: "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.

"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."

Despite Pierce's love for Keely's curves, she has gradually unveiled a slimmer silhouette - something fans first noticed early last year. Speculation about her transformation grew when she appeared alongside Pierce at the US-Ireland Alliance’s Oscar Wilde Awards in March of last year.

Despite her confidence, Keely has suffered harsh criticism over the years, with online trolls continuously commenting on her weight and her appearance. But Keely hasn't let the negativity get the better of her. Back in 2023, she responded with a powerful message on , expressing deep gratitude for her body and all that it has done for her in her life.

She shared a quote which read: “Look at your body. Look at those arms that have held people they love. Look at those eyes that have seen oceans and mountains and big green trees. Look at those legs that have carried you through your longest journeys.

"Look at your feet that have held you up on your hardest days. Look at your smile that has grinned a million times at the moments that have brought you joy. Look at your body… not for the curves or texture but for the moments that this body has given you. Look at your body. Now what do you see?” In her caption, she wrote: “Gratitude for all my body has given and accomplished in 60 years.”

And Pierce has always remained Keely's biggest and most vocal supporter. Speaking about their marriage in 2023, he told Fox News Digital: “We like each other a lot. We love each other a lot. And we've been down the road, and we've seen many, many hardships as families do, as we all do.

"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.”

Pierce frequently expresses his devotion to Keely on social media, marking milestones with heartfelt posts. On her 60th birthday in September 2023, he shared a touching tribute, posting a photo of them together alongside a lavish bouquet of roses. “Sixty roses for my brown-eyed girl on her 60th birthday,” he wrote. “Forever happy and blessed was I to be sitting there when you walked around the corner early one morning in Cabo San Lucas.”

The couple also celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary in August, with Pierce posting a nostalgic collage of their years together. His message was poetic: “Happy 23rd anniversary, my darling Keely, my beautiful brown-eyed girl, my north, my south, my east and west. All my love. Should I fall behind, wait for me.”

Keely and Pierce share two children together Dylan, 27, and and Paris, 24. The couple tied the knot on August 4, 2001 in Ballintubber Abbey in Ireland
