It’s not one Jane Seymour love story if it’s not wild!
The British actress is preparing to walk down the aisle for the fifth time, and the process towards it came with all the exciting drama, sans clothes.
Jane Seymour shared the news of her relationship with John Zambetti in 2023 via Instagram with a poolside photo, admitting she’s never been happier to find love with her new beau.
Zambetti shared that even though they had already built a life together emotionally, he still wanted to mark the moment traditionally and officially ask Seymour to marry him.
Getting there, however, involved a few dramatic detours, including his consideration of making a big movie proposal that involved their friend Mick Jagger showing up with the engagement ring.
Although he liked the idea of it, the thought of a flawless execution became worrisome and he decided to stick to something easier, like proposing on Valentine’s Day right before the actress’ birthday.
What followed was pure romantic comedy, and at his home in Malibu, Zambetti got down on one knee and pulled out the ring, but it immediately bounced out of the box and under the bed.
He tried to retrieve it quickly, but it was a clumsy save for him as he got stuck trying to pull it out, causing a moment of laughter, and the funniest part of all the mayhem, as Seymour put it, “we had no clothes on.”
As she admitted PEOPLE that she had sensed an engagement might happen eventually, she said the proposal itself still caught her off guard.
The British actress’ fiance chose a ring designed to describe their love story
For the ER doctor, choosing the perfect engagement ring was never about finding the biggest stone; it was about finding someone to tell their story. Zambetti recalled that his eye immediately spotted a design that felt different from anything else he had seen.
The piece carried two stones connected in a delicate pavé setting, rather than the traditional single stone. Zambetti noted that the detail carried meaning connected to their story of two people who arrived with separate histories and eventually chose a future together.
That sense of joining worlds, Seymour says, extends far beyond the two of them. According to Seymour, blending families came far more naturally than she expected, as her children established their bond with Zambetti almost immediately.
The feeling, she says, has been mutual, with Zambetti’s children and extended family embracing her as one of their own. As for wedding plans, the couple is in no rush to define what the celebration will look like.
Currently, the couple is very focused on tradition and more interested in creating something meaningful, depending on the essence of family, close friendships and the people who matter most.
Seymour hinted that a gathering or ceremony will likely take place eventually, especially since they want to celebrate this chapter with the people closest to them.
More than the engagement itself, Seymour says what surprised her the most was discovering a kind of relationship she had stopped expecting.
Inside Jane Seymour’s Past Relationships and Marriages
Before finding love in Zambetti’s arms, the actress was with her ex, David Green, for around nine years and he reportedly proposed to the screen legend. As noted by ParadeSeymour hinted that the relationship ended because they decided they were best off as friends.
As for her marital history, the actress has walked down the aisle four times, first with theater director Michael Attenborough from 1971 to 1973, with the marriage ending childless.
Four years after his split from Attenborough, Seymour teamed up with Geoffrey Planner, but they went their separate ways a year later and little has been said about the union’s demise.
In 1981, Seymour married her manager, David Flynn, and welcomed two children together, until cracks appeared in the marriage after a bad business decision on Flynn’s part cost the actress a lot of money. In 1992, the marriage ended in divorce, just before Seymour landed one of his biggest television roles.
In 1993, the British actress gave love another chance with filmmaker James Keach, welcoming twin sons two years later. The duo separated after a decade of marriage, finalizing their divorce in 2015, and three years later the actress revealed that Keach cheated during their union.
The 75-year-old’s lessons from her divorces
In 2021, the actress sincerely joined TODAYwhere she discussed her many failed marriages, public heartbreaks and the biggest lessons she learned from that phase of her life.
Seymour noted that leaving these marriages has taught her serious lessons about maintaining respect and holding on to the good part of a relationship rather than the disappointment.
The actress also admitted that she spent time reflecting on the role she plays in relationships and how she could have handled things differently. Juggling motherhood and a demanding career topped the list for her, and this meant that the long periods of absence on set largely freed her from reality.
She admitted that knowing Keach walked out on her made the experiences more painful, especially knowing she was shut out from the truth.
The media personality continued that an honest conversation about everything could have made the outcome easier to process than discovering things afterwards.
The actress has used all the advice given by her mother, Seymour, to recognize that difficulties in life cannot be completely avoided and that facing challenges head on can help create space for true healing.
Jane Seymour embraced love, sexuality and confidence in her 70s
The explosion stated that the movie star proved that she has never headlined her story, and as she entered well into her 70s, facing life with confidence, energy and curiosity has shaped her career and life.
Seymour boasted of her ability to take on an increasingly demanding filming schedule, which ran for hours and required her to memorize large amounts of dialogue without the aid of cue cards.
The actress also continued that some of her memorable roles on TV have also left her with lessons that sexuality, attraction and confidence should never expire with age.
Throughout her life, Seymour admitted that most of her roles have been to reassure women that they don’t get smaller with age, and this also played into her fateful encounter with Zambetti.
The duo met on a blind date set up by their children at a concert, and they hit it off on their first meeting, grabbing dinner and engaging in long conversations after that.
The actress raved about her beauty as a supportive partner who balances her delicate job as an emergency physician with her burning passion for music.
Congratulations to Jane Seymour and John Zambetti!
