Defending his wife, Pierce, 71, reportedly delivered a brilliant comeback while also slamming a pal's surgery offer. In a sweet message responding to a post comparing the pictures, 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."

In admiration of the reported comments, one excited social media fan said: "This is what true love is. It's who she is. Great personality, fun, humour, caring etc. Not how she looks. I am soo happy Pierce loves her just the way she is!! A true gentleman and an amazing husband."

Another replied: "Have been a huge fan of his for decades. I now can admire him even more because he has shown to be such a loving husband." A third responded: "You and Keely have done a remarkable job of showing that fame and fortune have no impact on having a positive relationship.

"You both are true role models in showing what a good marriage should be." In 2006, Keely told Vogue, “I never shy away from … my curves. I never hide in baggy clothing.” Pierce then added: "I love my wife's curves."

Pierce and Keely first laid eyes on each other at a party in Mexico. The American model turned TV correspondent was there to interview Cheers actor Ted Danson, but when he got called away, she began speaking to Pierce.

"He was captivating," Keely told in 2001. "Tall, dark and handsome – everything that everybody would immediately be attracted to. He had this mischievous sparkle in his eyes. I thought, 'Wow! Wow!'"

A few days later, the couple had their first date and spoke with each other until three in the morning. "We sat down under the stars and [Brosnan] held my hand. There were fireworks going off over our heads, and Kenny Loggins was singing," she recalled in the interview.

"I understand why women find him sexy, because he is an appealing man. He really likes and appreciates women." Pierce has previously admitted that meeting Kelly "saved" him at a time when depression was taking hold following the death of his first wife - and he would do anything to see her, even when his career was really taking off.

"Wherever I went in the I missed her, and I'd send her tickets to come so we could be together. We just seemed to fit," he said. "I found a great woman in Keely Shaye," he said. "Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good."

Tragically, at the age of 43. In June 2013, his daughter Charlotte died from ovarian cancer at the age of just 41. Charlotte's death came strikingly close to the age at which Cassandra had passed.

After her death, it was revealed that Pierce had just two weeks . She tied the knot with her partner Alex in a private ceremony, with their daughter Isabella, then 15, acting as a bridesmaid.
