Jane Seymour was dumped for other women by
all four husbands. Her third marriage left her homeless and with
$9 million debt. Kids wanted her to get on Tinder after the
fourth marriage ended, but she found love with a friend she knew almost 40 years ago. Today, we’re taking you on a journey full
of heartache, hope, disappointment, and love for life. Hop in! Rumour Juice is at your service! 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.” That’s all we have for you today, Juicers! As always, thanks for choosing us! Spread the word, and don’t forget to subscribe
