Jane Seymour, the iconic actress known for her roles in "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" and as a Bond girl, is set to marry musician John Zambetti. At 75, Seymour confirmed her engagement to the 78-year-old musician and doctor, embracing a new chapter in her life.
Someone decided they wanted to be with me for the rest of my life.
Their love story culminated in a proposal that was anything but ordinary. Zambetti, who prefers traditional terms like "husband" over "partner," planned a Valentine's Day proposal at their Malibu home. However, the moment turned into a comedic scene when the engagement ring, a "Toi et Moi" design symbolizing "You and I," popped out of its box and rolled under the bed. Zambetti humorously recounted having to crawl under the bed, only to get stuck and require Seymour's help to get out, adding that they were both unclothed during the ordeal.
I am old school, I am not a fan of the word 'partner'.
The "Toi et Moi" ring features two diamonds, which Zambetti explained represent the couple, with smaller diamonds along the band symbolizing their past lives leading to this moment. Seymour finds the ring's design perfect, reflecting their equal partnership and connection to their histories. She admitted she never expected to find such a devoted and loving relationship again after four previous marriages.
I got down on my knees, but when I opened the box, the ring popped out and rolled under the bed.
Seymour, who is 75, shared that she feels "blessed" and that "70 is the new 50." The couple met nearly three years ago through their children and believe they found each other at the perfect time in their lives, having already experienced careers, families, and life's ups and downs. Zambetti, who was previously married for 43 years and has two children, and Seymour, with her four children and two stepchildren, have successfully blended their families. Zambetti reportedly sends Seymour red roses every month on their anniversary, regardless of her location.
I had to crawl under the bed, and then I couldn't get out. Jane had to pull me out.
