Pierce Brosnan can't keep hands off wife Keely after slamming weight loss surgery offer

Pierce Brosnan couldn't keep his hands off his gorgeous wife after clapping back at an offer to give the mum-of-five weight loss surgery.

The Irish actor, 69, recently defended Keely, 59, reportedly saying: "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."

The couple looked happier than ever as they rocked up in New York for the premiere of Pierce's film Black Adam on Wednesday (Oct 12).

Keely stunned in a knee-length black sequinned dress, which she teamed with a black velvet blazer and open-toed heels.

Her raven locks were coiffed to perfection - complementing her subtle make-up perfectly.

Pierce also scrubbed up well, looking very dapper in royal blue blazer, white shirt and black trousers as he hugged his wife.

The furore over Keely's weight started after a Facebook troll made cruel comments about how the journalist looks now compared to when she first married the Mama Mia star back in 2001.

After the post went viral, with endless fat-shaming comments, Pierce allegedly hit back at the cruel jibes while slamming a pal's surgery offer.

"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," he said.

The loved-up pair dated for several years in the nineties after Pierce's wife Cassandra tragically died from ovarian cancer in 1991.

Pierce met in Keely in 1994 when she interviewed the actor for Entertainment Tonight at a charity benefit in Mexico.

The pair kept their romance low-key for several years, until they had their first child together, Dylan, who was born in 1997.

After postponing their wedding three times, they were married at Ballintubber Abbey in Co Mayo in August 2001, just six months after the birth of their second son Paris.

Pierce said he credits his wife for supporting him over the years, particularly after the death of his wife.

In 2013, he explained he met Keely when he was “adrift”.

“I’d lost my wife and been a widower for three years," he said.

“Keely is the backbone of our family, of my life, and I tell her that I love her every day."
