Love Wins: Jane Seymour Gets Engaged at 75

Romance doesn’t have an expiration date—and Jane Seymour is living proof. The Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman actress and former Bond girl announced her engagement to musician John Zambetti on Thursday, June 11 at the Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony, where she flashed a stunning diamond ring to the world.

What makes this engagement particularly special is the shared passion that binds them together. Seymour, who’s 75, and Zambetti have been dating for three years, and their households are practically vibrating with music. Seymour’s son Johnny Keach is a singer-songwriter. Zambetti’s son, Johnny Zambetti, fronts the indie-pop band The Palms and has racked up over 150 million streams on Spotify since 2015. And then there’s Zambetti himself—a singer-songwriter whose art has clearly captivated the actress. It’s less a blended family and more a full-on jam session waiting to happen.

Seymour went public with John in October 2023 after declaring she’d“never been happier,”and she’s been vocal ever since about celebrating this chapter of her life. She’s been married four times before—to theater director Michael Attenborough (1971–1973), author Geoffrey Planer (1977–1978), business manager David Flynn (1981–1992), and actor James Keach (1993–2015)—but this engagement feels different. In a candid essay for Cosmopolitan’s“Sex After 60”issue, she opened up about how emotional intimacy and shared experience have deepened her romantic life in her 70s.

“Sex right now is more wonderful and passionate than anything I ever remember because it is built on trust, love and experience,”she wrote.“I now know myself and my body, and John has had his own experiences in his life—it’s not like when you’re younger.”She went on to stress that your sex life doesn’t need to end at 60, and that the emotional foundation of a long-term partnership creates something far richer than youth alone can offer.

At an age when many people think the best romantic chapters are behind them, Seymour is showing us that the opposite can be true. A house full of music, a partner who gets it, and a willingness to embrace love openly—that’s not settling. That’s thriving.
