Regarding his love life, Brosnan was married to Australian actress Cassandra Harris. They had three children together.

You’re going to… It’s truly unavoidable, and so you just have to know that the days will get better, and you just have to endure whatever pain has been given to you. And then put it down and try to do a good thing.”
