Pierce Brosnan is best known for his role as the womanizing secret agent, James Bond. But the actor could not be less like 007 when it comes to romantic relationships.

He and his wife, Keely Shaye Smith, 58, live a quiet, happy life with each other and their five children—both biological and adopted.
