Jane Seymour is a name synonymous with grace, talent, and timeless beauty in the world of entertainment. Renowned for her versatile acting career, the 72-year-old has graced the screens with her exceptional performances for decades.
Though, aside from being a Hollywood icon, Seymour is also an author and a dedicated mother.
In fact, she has navigated the challenges and joys of motherhood, including the unique experience of raising twin sons.
Seymour, who has been married and divorced four times, is the proud mother of Katherine, 41, and Sean Flynn, 38, from her marriage to David Flynn. She also shares her twin sons, John Stacy and Kristopher Steven, 27, from her marriage to filmmaker James Keach.
A Journey to Motherhood
Jane Seymour’s path to motherhood was anything but easy. In a candid interview with People, the actress opened up about the heartbreak she and her then-husband, James Keach, faced during their attempts at in-vitro fertilization. After suffering two miscarriages, the couple nearly gave up on their dream of having children together.
But hope prevailed. At 44, Seymour’s third pregnancy was a success, and she gave birth to twin boys, John and Kristopher.
The twins arrived six weeks early via emergency C-section after Seymour developed pre-eclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication. From the moment they were born, the boys faced uphill challenges. Their early arrival meant their lives—and Seymour’s—were at serious risk. Speaking on Loose Women, Seymour revealed, “I nearly died having them, and the babies nearly died.”
Despite the danger, she has no regrets. “I’m very glad I had them,” she said.
Because of their premature birth, the twins required close medical monitoring in the early days. Seymour shared that both boys had health scares, with Johnny turning blue twice after they were brought home. The terrifying episodes sent the family back to the hospital, where the twins’ vital functions—breathing, swallowing, and sucking—were closely observed.
Seymour’s dedication to her sons was unwavering. She made deliberate choices to stay present in their lives, even taking them on set while filming. As the twins grew, they became stronger and formed a powerful bond. Seymour fondly remembered how they loved sleeping in the same crib and, later, the same bed.
“Who knew that you both would become such magnificent, kind, and talented individuals!?” Seymour wrote in a heartfelt post. “My life changed forever when…”
