British actress Jane Seymour has experienced four marriages, all of which ended in infidelity.
However, it was her fourth marriage that devastated her the most because she believed it would last forever.
In 2019, Seymour opened up about the pain she felt following her divorce from her fourth husband, James Keach, who cheated on her with a woman she knew.
The couple got married in 1995 and separated in 2013, with their divorce being finalized in 2015.
Prior to their separation, there were rumors circulating about Keach’s affair.
Despite the rumors, Seymour never acknowledged the painful truth until their split.
She explained how her world fell apart after discovering the infidelity.
She expressed her devastation, saying, “Choices were made that I couldn’t bear.
I thought we would be together forever, but James chose someone else.
I felt terrible, absolutely devastated.”
The 70-year-old actress confessed that betrayal is something she struggles to handle.
She mentioned that she would have accepted it if her husband had been honest about their relationship not working out and sought a separation.
However, she was never given that opportunity.
Seymour revealed that she stumbled upon the affair accidentally and realized it had been going on for some time.
This revelation marked the downfall of their marriage.
She admitted that it was even more frightening because the person involved was someone she knew.
Although Seymour attempted to salvage their relationship, she soon came to terms with the fact that it was already over.
Despite the pain, she stated that she and Keach remain friends and have always prioritized being good parents to their twin sons, Kristopher and John, who are now 25 years old.
The actress also shared that the affair had a significant impact on her confidence and timing.
She mentioned trying to date other people, but none of those connections resonated with her during that period.
Before this heartbreak, Seymour faced a similar betrayal in her third marriage to businessman David Flynn.
She discovered that he had squandered her family fortune, leaving her feeling angry and betrayed.
Flynn’s financial mismanagement left Seymour in significant debt, prompting her to call her agent and accept any acting opportunity that came her way.
This led to her iconic role in the series “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,” which provided stability for her and her children.
Despite the hardships, Seymour remains grateful for the chance she received.
She expressed her gratitude towards the network for providing her with a roof over her head, money to get back on her feet, and the ability for her children to continue their education while on set.
Throughout her various marriages, Seymour has learned valuable lessons.
She acknowledged that she may have made mistakes but always did her best to provide for her children.
She mentioned that all her marriages ended because her husbands chose to be with other people, not because she initiated the separations.
Currently, Seymour is not married but has found love again with British film director David Green, whom she has been dating since 2014.
Despite her past experiences, she still considers her ex-husbands as family and even invited them, along with their new partners, to celebrate Thanksgiving together.
Apart from her tumultuous love life, Seymour is best known for her acting career, which began in the 1960s.
She gained recognition for her roles in James Bond’s “Live and Let Die” and has been nominated for three Emmy Awards, winning her first in 1998 for her performance in the TV film “Onassis: The Richest Man in the World.”
