Her latest appearance, showing a visibly slimmer figure, has drawn fresh attention to the physique that once launched her modeling career. Smith’s time in the modeling industry was brief. In one interview, she explained the reason for stepping away, “I realized at some point I was propagating a beauty myth, so I left modeling and acted for a year.”.

Their views on lasting love were shaped by shared experiences and what each had endured before finding one another. The actor’s first marriage was to actress Cassandra Harris, whom he wed in 1980.
They welcomed their son, Sean Brosnan, in September 1983. The family patriarch also adopted Harris’s two children, Charlotte and Christopher Brosnan, from her earlier marriage. In December 1991, Harris died after battling ovarian cancer. Years later, her then-widowed husband shared that their family treasured every second they had had with her.
The father of five remembered the Australian native as someone with incredible energy, a sharp instinct for understanding people, and a memorable sense of humor. According to him, her children carried on her unmistakable laugh. That sense of connection lives on through memories and the growing family he now cherishes.
The “Mamma Mia” actor is a grandfather to four — two grandchildren from his son Sean and two more from Charlotte, his late daughter. She died from cancer in 2013.
Through decades of career highs, personal heartbreak, and quiet joys, Pierce Brosnan and Smith have built a life anchored in loyalty, shared growth, and unwavering support. Their story — rooted in deep admiration, family devotion, and the ability to find beauty in simple moments — continues to captivate.
From red carpet appearances to everyday sunsets shared over champagne, their bond has weathered time with grace. As they look ahead, hand in hand, their journey remains a powerful testament to enduring love and the quiet strength found in walking life’s path together.
