Brosnan has previously revealed that one of the secrets to the couple's happy marriage is spending quality time together.

“My wife and I took a short road trip up to Santa Barbara — we were going for a romantic weekend and to look at houses and drink great wine,” Brosnan told PEOPLE.

“We didn’t listen to any music, but we just listened to the sounds of each other’s voices and sorted out the world.”

The Mama Mia star also previously revealed some of the attributes he appreciates in his wife.

"I love her vitality, her passion," Brosnan told the Independent. "She has this strength that I wouldn't be able to live without. When Keely looks at me, I go weak."
