Pierce shared an adorable photo of himself alongside wife Keely

Pierce's romantic post comes nearly two months after he marked their wedding anniversary with a public post on social media.

The James Bond star took to Instagram to share a beautiful photo from their 2001 wedding day, taken shortly after the couple exchanged vows. Alongside it, Pierce wrote a heartfelt message to his wife, which read: "Happy Anniversary my love Keely, we danced that night and still dance the dance today. I could it all again."

The couple said 'I do' at Ballintubber Abbey in his native Ireland in front of 100 guests after being forced to postpone their wedding three times. Together they share two sons: Dylan and Paris.

In August, the couple celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary

The big day, covered exclusively by HELLO! magazine, was actually shrouded in secrecy and boasted many features that would make his 007 character proud. The day also featured a fireworks display, a seven-tier cake, and an elaborate ice sculpture of Rodin's The Kiss.

Photos revealed Keely's beautiful white dress complete with scalloped lace. She finished off her traditional bridal look with pearl droplet earrings and a delicate diamante tiara placed in her polished updo.
