With a career spanning decades, the veteran actress has shined on Broadway in “Amadeus,” on the big screen in “Live and Let Die,” and on TV as the star of “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.” Despite her success, her greatest pride is her family.

Besides her immense professional success, the star’s personal life has been more complex. Though her marriages didn’t last, she still maintains close friendships with all her ex-husbands.

Reflecting on her journey in an interview, she shared, “Every. Single. One. I intended to be married forever [each time]. It was my partners who didn’t.”

Her first union with theater director Michael Attenborough lasted from 1971 to 1973. Looking back in another interview, she candidly said, “My first marriage, in my opinion, did not count. We were young. He jokes that on our wedding day we knew we were stuck, but it was too late to give the presents back. We still adore each other.”

After her second marriage ended, she wed businessman David Flynn in 1981. The couple had two children, Sean and Katherine Flynn, before divorcing in 1992.

However, their divorce marked a turning point in her life. The actress later revealed that during this period, her ex-husband left her without a home and around $9 million in debt, facing lawsuits from major banks. “I lost everything,” she disclosed.

“I was homeless, penniless and I called my agent and said I would do anything. He called the networks, and they said, ‘how about a little movie of the week?'” revealed the Emmy Award winner.

Determined to rebuild, she agreed to a role in the Western drama series, “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,” which required her to start filming within 12 hours, signing a five-year commitment without hesitation.

That same year in 1993, the Hollywood star married film director James Keach. Together, they welcomed twins, Kristopher and John Keach, before separating in 2013, with their divorce finalized in 2015.

Reflecting on her marriages, Jane Seymour divulged, “I was married to men who had different issues, and I never ended the marriages — they did, by finding other people!”

She described her experience with divorce as “painful,” “depressing,” and “anger-making,” but said her mother’s wisdom helped her gain perspective, reminding her that “everyone in life faces challenges.”

Continuing her reflections, the star admitted she considered what she might have done differently but acknowledged the challenges of balancing work and motherhood. “Sometimes you may be in a relationship where they would rather that you were there 24/7 and never worked,” she shared.

“We don’t use the word stepkids. We do not distinguish,” she said. The movie star highlighted the strong bonds among parents and children, co-parenting harmony, and a sense of unity that extends to their extended families, with everyone getting along.

Jane, who values her family and legacy, has also found happiness in her personal life. Currently in a relationship with musician John Zambetti, she revealed she has no plans to marry again.

Their romance became public in October 2023 when she made their relationship Instagram official. Posting a cheerful poolside photo of the two, the then-72-year-old expressed her joy, writing, “I’ve never been happier.”

Jane’s positive outlook shines as she embraces aging with gratitude and confidence. At 73, she reflected on the loss of friends her age, considering each year an incredible blessing. Choosing to age naturally, she avoids cosmetic procedures like Botox and peels.

In 2018, Jane posed for Playboy at 67, becoming the magazine’s oldest featured woman. Having posed at 22 and 36, she found the experience at 67 particularly empowering, saying, “I feel more comfortable in my own skin than I did then.”

Jane Seymour’s journey reflects her strength, gratitude, and commitment to embracing life at every stage. From her enduring career to her cherished family and newfound happiness, she continues to inspire with her grace and authenticity.
