Pierce says the secret is simple. “Respect and laughter.” Keely makes him laugh. He makes her feel secure. They talk about everything, from work to laundry to gardening.
No, really. They love gardening. Pierce grows his own vegetables. Keely tends to the flowers. They are the cute, retired couple you’d want to have over for tea.
He also credits her for saving him. After his first wife, Cassandra, died of cancer in 1991, Pierce was devastated. Keely brought joy back into his life. She didn’t just fill a gap; she built a new world with him.
Funny Quirky Details
Here’s a gem: Pierce has a habit of singing to Keely. He sings old Irish ballads. Out loud. In public. She blushes, but she loves it.
Also, Keely is a health and wellness buff. She got Pierce into organic eating. He now swears by kale smoothies. James Bond drinks green juice. Take that, vodka martinis.
They also love to travel together—no assistants, no glam squads. They just drive around in a rented car. Very normal. Very not-famous. It’s adorable.
