Jane Seymour says she’s been labeled “always” through her four divorces, refusing to feel “failed” because she has “beautiful kids” and is “still very attached” to her exes.
The 71-year-old British actress pondered her past relationships and why they plan to stay single at this stage of their lives during her time appearing on Yahoo Life with her longtime partner David Green.
“Every time I got divorced, I had to develop a new taste for life. “I had to find a way to find myself because I would find myself stuck in a relationship that wouldn’t work, or circumstances… it was impossible to heal,” she said.
Jane Seymour, 71, reflected on her four divorces and her relationship with longtime partner David Green on the Yahoo Life drama “Don’t Apologize.”
The British actress, who has been in a relationship with 73-year-old Green for eight years, is not considering marrying the director and says, “I don’t think you need that right now.”
“And I got up and said, ‘Okay, Jane, what are you going to do now?’ And every time it happened, I put it around the universe”.
Seymour’s first marriage was to the theater director Michael Attenborough, son of the famous director Richard Attenborough. She was just 20 years old when they got married in 1971 and divorced in 1973.
She married Geoffrey ‘Geep’ Planer in 1977, but they separated the following year.
The actress married businessman David Flynn in 1981 and they have two children together, Katherine Flynn and Sean Flynn.
Their marriage fell apart after she found out that he had multiple relationships and wasted his money. They divorced in 1992.

‘I’ve always been tagged’ [by it]’ said. “Oh, you’ve had so many breakups” – it’s like I failed but I don’t feel like I did it, ”she said. “I’ve made amazing babies and I’m still very close to the people who love me, I loved them and we still love each other.”

“We looked at each other for a while and said, ‘Well, we’re together,'” she said. “I would say there are different times in your life where you seek different things. In your 30s, you may be looking for a life partner to have children with.
“Besides, you know, if you’re divorced and raising kids, you’re now looking for someone who can take care of a woman with a child. And in my case, can I find someone who understands my love for my career, my love of acting? You know, maybe I’ll be in Australia next week.
When not acting, she participates in the non-profit Open Hearts Foundation, travels and other creative pursuits, including writing books and painting.
“I can do what I want,” he said. “I have saved some money, so I feel comfortable. I work because I want to. I can choose the projects I want. I don’t like being stupid, so I defined my life and the time I had to spend with my friends, family and people I care about.”
Seymour shared new interview with The mirror she likes to live “on her own terms” and “a pretty independent woman”, just like her crime-solver character in the “Harry Wild” detective series.
“Even though I have a career and earn money, I always asked my husband for advice,” she explains. “What I learned from my last divorce is that I can do this on my own. So life changed a lot nine years ago and I’m more like my new character Harry.”
