Jane Seymour, the ageless actress, and her new beau, John Zambetti, a talented musician, have a heartwarming tale of how they came together – all thanks to their children. At the Wags and Walks 12th Annual Benefit Gala, Seymour, 72, shared the delightful story of their blossoming relationship, which recently became Instagram official, highlighting the pivotal role their kids played in their connection with John Zambetti.
“Well, our kids put us together,” Zambetti revealed to PEOPLE at the event, a sentiment echoed by Seymour. This unique beginning ensures family harmony right from the start. “So we certainly don’t have to worry about the kids not approving of who we were with,” John Zambetti added, expressing his joy, “I’m very lucky to be with her.”

Seymour playfully disclosed that John Zambetti‘s romantic gestures played a significant role in winning her over. “He wrote me some love songs. He’s a songwriter. I think that’s what really got me in the end.” Zambetti chimed in, “Just to close the deal,” while Seymour joked about a potential album in the works, “Yeah. Three so far. I think there’s an album on the way.”
The couple sees their meeting as serendipitous, noting the musical connection between their sons. “His son is a very successful rock musician with a group called The Palms. And his name’s Johnny Zambetti,” Seymour explained. “And I have a son who’s a rock musician too, Johnny Keach, so when we talked about them, we say ‘My Johnny,’ [since] they both have the same name.” This shared passion for music in their families seems to have paved the way for Jane Seymour and John Zambetti‘s relationship.
Seymour, who has been married four times previously, has children Katherine, Sean, John Stacy, and Kristopher Steven from past marriages. Now, with John Zambetti, she is exploring a new chapter filled with shared experiences, particularly in the realm of music.
Their dates often revolve around music, as John Zambetti shared, “I have a lot of friends that are musicians in town. We like to go see them play. And she never really went to the dives to see, that’s where the real music is. That’s where the real players are playing. So she loves it. She loves going everywhere and she loves music.” He enjoys introducing Seymour to the authentic music scene of Los Angeles, a side of the city she was previously less familiar with.
Seymour’s happiness in this new relationship is palpable. Having gone Instagram official with John Zambetti recently, she expressed to PEOPLE, “I am having the happiest time of my life. In many ways.” They even celebrate their anniversary monthly, embracing the joy of the present moment. “This time in life, you’re not going to wait 50 years, are you?” Seymour wisely stated, reflecting her contentment with John Zambetti and their unique, family-initiated love story.
