Pierce has often talked about how Keely saved him from depression following his personal tragedies, describing her as a force I couldn’t live without.
Pierce in April 2017 opened up to People about how the couple enjoys each other’s company.
He said: ‘My wife and I took a quick drive to Santa Barbara – we were going to have a romantic weekend and look at houses and drink good wine,’ he said.
“We didn’t listen to any music, but just listened to the sounds of each other’s voices and sorted out the world.”
