Speaking of their meeting, Pierce later told People he couldn't get enough of Keely from the moment he laid eyes on her: "Wherever I went in the world I missed her, and I’d send her tickets to come so we could be together. We just seemed to fit."
"I found a great woman in Keely Shaye. Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good."
The couple married in 2001 at the 785-year-old Ballintubber Abbey in County Mayo, Ireland, surrounded by friends and family.
In 2019, the Mamma Mia! star told The Sun that Keely is still the only woman for him: "I love her vitality, her passion. When Keely looks at me I go weak at the knees,” he said, adding she "made him the man I am."
