Who are Jane Seymour’s ex-husbands? Bond star’s relationships explored as she reveals she’s “sexually active” at 74

Jane Seymour had experienced four marriages throughout her life. She first wed British theatre director Michael Attenborough in 1971. Their marriage ended in 1973, with both staying quiet about the relationship. They had no children.

Her second marriage, to Geoffrey Planer in 1977, lasted only a year. Jane Seymour never publicly explained what led to her end. In 1981, she married David Flynn. They divorced in 1992, shortly before she took on the lead role in Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman.

A year later, she married actor and filmmaker James Keach. Their marriage ran for more than a decade before the pair separated, and the divorce was finalized in 2015. Years later, Seymour revealed that Keach had been unfaithful.

“I thought we were going to be married forever, but James made a choice that I wasn’t privy to, he found someone else. I felt horrible, devastated … By the time I found out—entirely by accident—it had been going on for some time, so that was that,” she shared.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Jane Seymour later began dating musician John Zambetti after spending a period on her own following the divorce. Her recent remarks about the source of her youthful spirit have placed her back in the headlines.

Jane Seymour shared that age hadn’t slowed her down:

Jane Seymour has made headlines after revealing that she remained “very sexually active” at 74. In a report published by People, she said she often felt decades younger than her actual age.

“I have to actually wake up in the morning and remind myself how old I am because inside of me, I would say I still feel like I'm maybe about 40 or 50, maybe 40, I don't know where all that time went, but I have the energy that I had when I was 40," she shared.

She added that turning 75 did not change her perspective.

“I turn 75 next year and I'm very sexually active ... I kind of have become, in some way, almost a poster child for there is life after 70 ... I kind of look at my mother when she was alive and at 50, I would say she was middle-aged. I don't feel that way at all.”

Jane Seymour said she focused on living fully.

“I am loving life. I call it experiential living. Now is it. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. So I only want to spend my time doing things that I'm passionate about, that I really enjoy. And I make sure that, even if it's work, that I turn it into a fun life experience.”

How Jane Seymour met John Zambetti :

Jane Seymour had said she wasn’t looking for romance when she first crossed paths with musician John Zambetti. At the time, she considered herself “very, very single.” During an appearance on the Tamron Hall show, she recalled how reluctant she had been to socialize.

“I was very, very single. And a girlfriend said: ‘You must come out with me’ and I went: ‘Look I'm 73, I don't think I'm going out or doing anything. I'm done with guys, it's not happening’.”

That changed quickly. She explained that a mutual friend stepped in.

“The next thing I know a mutual friend of ours, who's a rapper called Shwayze, calls and says: ‘Hey, I'm performing there next week. Do you want to come? I've got someone I want you to meet’.”

Seymour agreed to go.

“So I go [to the show] and Shwayze does his thing and I'm there with Shwayze's grandmother and this guy says: ‘I think we're supposed to meet,’ and I looked at him and went: ‘Yes, we are.’ That’s the answer, right? I was told I was supposed to meet someone.”

Their connection deepened almost immediately.

“Long story short, [Zambetti and I] ended up having a very, very long chat the next day with a cup of tea, which ended up having dinner. And then we realized that his son, Shwayze, and my son, Sean, they were all friends and he used to hang out at my house.”

Seymour said of Zambetti,

“He's the most wonderful, loving, extraordinary man. He's an ER doctor, very handy. And he has a rock band for the last 60 years called The Malibooz with Walter Egan.”

Zambetti echoed the sentiment in a 2023 interview with People, saying,

“Our kids put us together, so we certainly don't have to worry about the kids not approving of who we were with. I'm very lucky to be with her.”

In the end, Seymour’s story had echoed far beyond the headlines. Her willingness to revisit the triumphs and the fractures of her past relationships painted a portrait of someone who never stopped learning how to live fully. At 74, she reminded readers that reinvention did not belong to any particular age, and that honesty, especially about love, remained timeless.
