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

He married Keely Shaye Smith, an American journalist, in 2001. They have two children. 

In May 2023, Brosnan celebrated his 70th birthday, and even though he’s aging, he appeared to want to continue his career as he gave advice on staying active as one ages.

In a 2018 GQ Magazine interview, Brosnan said: “Oh, just love and work. Work and love. That’s all it is, really. Be grateful that you have a partnership, or a friendship, or a few friends. And just get on with life. I don’t know any other way.”

Brosnan shared another anti-aging tip in 2018, as reported by the Daily Express, stating that people have to have “good faith.”

“I think I’ve found good faith in my life, and good faith in myself. You just have to be… You have to have good faith,” he said, then added, “You’re going to suffer one way or the other. 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.”
