Keely Shaye Smith has been in several different forms of media during the 1980’s and 1990’s. She first earned fame for appearing in a Huey Lewis music video, and she also did some modeling during that time, working for Elite Models. Smith branched out into the acting world, appearing on the show “General Hospital” before she went into journalism. She has been a correspondent on many different shows including; “Entertainment Tonight”, “Unsolved Mysteries”, and “Good Morning America”.
Smith and Pierce Brosnan met on a beach in Mexico, in 1994. Brosnan had lost his previous wife Cassandra Harris to cancer at 42 years old, just three years before. Brosnan said that, “I found a great woman in Keely Shaye. Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good.” The two entered a relationship, and later married in 2001.
A lot of people have talked about Smith’s weight, ever since her and Brosnan got together. Part of the reason for her weight gain over the years was that she was more focused on raising the couple’s two boys.
According to those close to Smith, she tried several diets in the past, but wasn’t able to sustain them long-term. Brosnan has said many times that he appreciates Smith’s curves.
In 2015, photos surfaced of the couple riding bicycles in Malibu. Smith reportedly lost just over 100 pounds. An insider close to Smith said that instead of trying different fad diets and counting calories, Smith made a lifestyle change- by exercising and eating healthier. In 2016, she directed a film called “Poisoning Paradise”. Smith says that she’s an island girl, and she enjoys spending time in Hawaii. Today, Poisoning Paradise has screened at 20 prestigious film festivals, and it has won many awards.
