Renowned actress Jane Seymour, known for her roles in “Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman” and the James Bond film “Live and Let Die,” has faced personal turmoil alongside her professional success.
Seymour had been married three times before entering into a relationship with actor and filmmaker James Keach.
However, their 20-year marriage came to an end in 2013 due to rumors of Keach's infidelity.
The betrayal was particularly devastating for Seymour as reports indicated that Keach had cheated with someone she knew.
The couple separated soon after, leaving Seymour heartbroken.
In October 2019, she finally spoke out about the painful experience in an interview with the Daily Mail, where she also discussed various aspects of her life, including her beauty secrets, career management, and role as a mother and grandmother.
During the interview, Seymour confirmed that Keach had indeed been unfaithful, expressing the profound impact it had on her.
To learn more about her life, read on.
Born as Joyce Penelope Wilhemina Frankenberg on February 15, 1951, in Hayes, Hillingdon, England, Seymour is the eldest of three daughters.
She grew up on the outskirts of London and made her debut in the entertainment industry at the age of 13 as a dancer with the London Festival Ballet.
However, her dancing career was cut short after sustaining knee injuries during a performance with the Kirov Ballet.
Seymour then turned her focus to theater and adopted her stage name, inspired by King Henry VIII's third wife.
At the young age of 20, she landed a breakthrough role as a Bond Girl in the movie “Live and Let Die,” catapulting her into a career filled with steady work on both the big and small screens.
She appeared in popular TV shows like “McCloud” and “Battlestar Galactica.”
Now 70 years old, Seymour continues to be cast in various movies and television series.
Most recently, she appeared in “The Komisky Method” alongside her longtime friend Michael Douglas.
She currently resides in Los Angeles with her boyfriend of five years, David Green, in a neighborhood filled with notable celebrities such as Simon Cowell and Cher.
Speaking about her relationship with Green, Seymour expressed her gratitude for his unwavering support and understanding of her demanding schedule in the entertainment industry.
In 2013, Seymour experienced deep devastation when her then-husband, James Keach, cheated on her and chose to be with someone else.
“Choices were made that I couldn't accept,” Seymour revealed.
“I thought we would be married forever, but James decided otherwise.
He found someone else, and it was someone I knew, which made it even more frightening.”
Despite her attempts to salvage the marriage, Seymour realized that it was beyond repair.
However, she and Keach have since become friends and prioritize co-parenting their children.
Seymour has four children in total, two from her previous marriage to businessman David Flynn, and twins from her 20-year marriage to Keach.
She also has stepchildren from both of their previous relationships.
The betrayal Seymour experienced deeply affected her self-confidence, leaving her vulnerable.
Although she attempted to date after the separation, she never felt a genuine connection.
Today, Seymour remains resilient and has moved past the pain, focusing on her career and maintaining positive relationships with her ex-husband and children.
