While being successful in her career, Jane Seymour had a few mishaps in her romantic
life.
The actor has made the trip down the aisle four times, and each one of them ended in
disappointment.
Seymour tied the knot for the first time in 1971 when she married Michael Attenborough
, the son of film actor and director Richard Attenborough.
Sadly, their marriage ended just two years later.
After Jane’s marriage to Michael, she wed his friend, Geoffrey Planer, in 1977.
However, their union was brief and ended less than a year later.
In 1981, she married for the third time to David Flynn, with whom she shares two children:
daughter Katherine Flynn, a former actress, and son Sean Flynn.
Flynn involved Seymour in the housing market and lost all their money, leaving her with
a $9 million debt and multiple lawsuits from banks.
Seymour was devastated.
She couldn’t pay her bills, she couldn’t take care of her kids, she was homeless.
She then called her agent and said she was ready to do anything.
The actor was ready to take any part.
So her agent called the networks, after which she signed to star in Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman.
Jane credited the series, which ran for five years, with saving her life.
Through it, she could get a roof over her head, back on her feet, and fend for her kids.
Meanwhile, Seymour and David divorced in 1992.
Seymour’s fourth marriage was to actor James Keach , who she married a year later.
In 1995, the couple welcomed twins John Stacy and Kristopher Steven, named after family
friends Johnny Cash and Christopher Reeve and James's brother, actor Stacy Keach.
Unlike her previous marriages, Seymour’s marriage to Keach lasted long, but eventually
came crashing down as well.
In a 2019 interview, she revealed why they divorced and said she was devastated by the
collapse of their marriage — James found someone else.
Of course, it made her feel horrible and devastated.
“If someone says: ‘Things aren’t good, let’s separate,’ it would be different.
But I was never privy to that conversation.
By the time I found out — entirely by accident — it had been going on for some time, so
that was that.
It was someone I knew, so that was very frightening.”
After the divorce, she tried dating and got introduced to people by her friends.
However, no spark flew.
Her kids tried to get her on Tinder, but she refused.
However, despite Jane not being too keen about dating after her split from James, she found
love again.
The actress fell in love with David Green, who she had known long ago, and like her,
he was also coming out of a marriage.
They actually had been friends first, but realized there’s more to it over lunch one
day.
“We’re both dealing with older children, exes and our future ... how long will we live?
How can we stay healthy?
How can we tick off our bucket list?”
Furthermore, this experience of new love later in life actually drew her to The Kominsky
Method.
While speaking with ABC, the 71-year-old actress compared her and Green’s relationship to
her character on the series.
Seymour stumbled upon a new romance, just like Madelyn, who runs into an old flame.
With the couple’s relationship going well, some have wondered if she would walk down
the aisle for the fifth time.
During an interview with US Weekly, Jane said she was lucky to have connected with Green,
even though it took them many years.
“We are very happy, he’s the best.
We get along great.”
She described their relationship as remarkable because women her age do not get to find someone
else.
Even when they do, it is usually a much younger man and an uneven relationship.
“I think it’s really wonderful I found a contemporary, someone I knew 40 years ago.
We both had lives, and now we found one another, and we have another chance,” Seymour gushed.
When asked if she had any plans of getting married in the future, Seymour quipped that
she’s just enjoying life and not tying knots.
Well, whatever works.
Seymour first caught the eye of audiences when she played Bond girl Solitaire in 1973’s
Live and Let Die.
Asked what it’s like to be a sex symbol for nearly five decades, the actor scoffed:
“I’ve never thought of it that way.”
Since then, Seymour had posed for Playboy three times, in 1973, 1987 and 2018, when
the magazine said the actress “is more of a sex symbol now than when she played a Bond
girl.”
To Jane, sexy means being comfortable in your own skin at every age.
That’s why she hasn’t had plastic surgery.
“I made a choice a long time ago not to do all the things that other people do because
I’m not trying to look like me when I’m 20 or 30.
It’s kind of pointless,” she said.
Seymour said she’s one of the lucky actresses who’ve landed great roles after 40.
“Back in the day, they used to say if you’re a woman, and you’re 40, you’re done.
Well, when I was 40, I got ‘Dr. Quinn.’
So that’s when I started.
And to be honest, right now, I feel like this is my moment because there’s all these amazing
characters that I can now play without having to worry about whether I look like a leading
lady.”
Today, Seymour seems to be much more accepting of the trials and tribulations she has endured.
She can always think of a silver-lining her mother taught her — everyone in life faces
challenges, and the sooner you can accept it, the better.
“And then when you look out from yourself and look around to see what other people are
suffering or challenged by, you realize what you have is minimal compared to other people’s
challenges,” she explained.
In a chat with People, Jane said what she learned from her divorces is to let go, try
to find a way to communicate, and keep the good things in the relationship.
When asked how she dealt with multiple divorces and came out stronger, Seymour called the
process painful, depressing, and anger-making, adding that it took some perspective.
The actor was brought up to see what she could do for others because it would give her a
sense of purpose.
Therefore, when she had a sense of purpose, she could deal with her issues.
“Especially when co-parenting.
And I tried to look at my side of things: ‘What could I have done differently?’
But it’s hard when you’re a mother, and you work.
It means sometimes you’re gone.
And sometimes you may be in a relationship where they would rather that you were there
24/7 and never worked.”
While reflecting on all that has happened, she said she did her best.
Seymour took her kids with her worldwide whenever she was working and had them with her when
she was on set.
The mother of four found a way to joggle her career with motherhood, but added that the
men she was married to had different issues.
On top of acting and busy home life, the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning actress designs furniture
and jewelry.
In addition, she writes books, runs a nonprofit and produces movies.
“I do what I do because I love it,” she said.
“I don’t think of it ever as a job ... It’s called living.
So I don’t see retiring.
You don’t retire from life.”
