“Why would I want to avoid growing old with the person I love most in the world? Am I missing something, or are you just vapid, insecure, and moronically short-sighted?” another asked the hater.
“They are obviously devoted to one another. She is the mother of his children,” read another comment. “He watched his first wife d*e of cancer and deserves all the happiness and love in the world.”

“They both look stunning, maintained a long-term relationship, have healthy kids, I wonder why you would be hating on that … jealousy? envy? misunderstanding real value?” read another comment.
Another said, “Pierce Brosnan’s won the lottery of life. Dude’s been married 30 years, and they’ve both aged gracefully.”
“Imagine being so surface-level that you would mock a beautiful marriage over changes in our bodies,” read one comment online

Pierce previously spoke about loving “every curve” of his wife’s body after online trolls commented on her transformation over the years.
“Friends offered her surgery to reduce her weight. But I strongly love every curve of her body,” he wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post in 2022.
“She is the most beautiful woman in my eyes,” he went on to say. “And also because she had our five children.

The devoted husband expressed pride in Keely and said he hoped to be “worthy” of her love.
“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,” he said. “And I am very proud of her, and I always seek to be worthy of her love.”

Keely took on a few small roles in film and television before transitioning to journalism. She met the longtime leading man at a party in Mexico in 1994.
The couple “sat down under the stars” on their first date, with Pierce holding her hand and talking till 3 in the morning, Keely recalled in a 2001 interview with People.
“I found a great woman in Keely Shaye. Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good,” the Mamma Mia! star told People.

Keely said she never tried to hide parts of her body behind “baggy clothes.”
“I never shy away from … my curves. I never hide in baggy clothing,” she said for her appearance in Vogue‘s shape issue in 2006.
Her 72-year-old husband told the publication at the time that he thought his wife was “stunning.”
“I love my wife’s curves,” he added.
“It appears you are jealous of a love that is beyond physical appearance,” read a comment on the recent tasteless post

OMG a woman in her 60s looks so much more aged and older than she did in her 30s? I am shocked, shocked I tell you! /s

My 66 year old body would love to be in the shape it was in my 30's. On the upside I've had the privilege to live to 66, so...

What if . . . stay with me . . . he loves her for who she is, and what ever packaging holds that is heartstopping to him? This is what these know-it-alls have no concept of; that love is about the personality, character, how they behave towards you and others, how they feel about you, how funny they are, how clever they are, everything bound up in that amazing mind. When your love is for that, then the changes in the external boxing up are just that. If it still holds the person you love inside you still love it to bits.

It's extremely sad to see people so envious of an obviously wonderful marriage and loving partnership denigrating these people merely because their bodies are aging. Every single one of these sad worthless parasites should be thoroughly and completely exposed regularly as they get older until they publicly repent.

The men saying that this is proof that men shouldn't marry won't ever have to worry about making that decision anyway. No woman in their right mind would agree to go on a date with them, much less marriage.

By transformation, you mean aged. Pierce himself has said he loves that body because that is the one that gave him children. So all those shallow c***s who will be on botox for the rest of their lives can cry into their tea for one.

People who think a partner shouldn't age over decades are in for a bit of a shock if they're lucky enough to find themselves in a long term loving relationship. The alternative is to be like Leo De Caprio whose trail of short-term relationships with women less than half his age makes him look more and more foolish and shallow as time passes.

I met Keely at a party on Kaua’i a few years ago. Not only is she gorgeous physically, but she’s also witty and smart af. Be sure to check out her documentary, “Poisoning Paradise” about the ongoing Open Air Pesticide Testing on Kaua’i. Pierce is a VERY lucky man to have married Keely.

I met Keely and Pierce on an elevator years ago and they were so nice to my daughter and I on the short ride up! She has a beautiful personality and very friendly! What women doesn’t gain weight through the years especially after having 5 children! People are so mean! What a wonderful love story they have. Too many more happy and wonderful years together!💕💕💕💕

I really have to wonder about people who say and write things like that publicly. I'm guessing weight-shaming is only the tip of the misogyny iceberg. What happened in a person's life to make them think that way?
