The couple initially confirmed their engagement in a June interview with PEOPLE, following a flurry of speculation sparked by Seymour’s diamond ring. At the Emmys event, she shared, “We’re extremely happy, whatever it is,” providing an update on their relationship and recent life changes. Seymour, who is 75, reflected on how they have embraced life together since moving in three years ago, describing their journey as “amazing.”
One of the most charming aspects of their relationship is the monthly celebration of their anniversary. “We celebrate our anniversary every month,” she stated. “I get red roses of some form, anywhere in the world, whatever’s happening. We’re not going to wait for years. I mean, why wait for years at our age?” This sentiment underscores the couple’s refreshing approach to love, suggesting an eagerness to cherish each moment together.
Seymour also discussed the design of her engagement ring, which features two connected diamonds, known as a ‘toi et moi’ ring. “It’s a vintage thing,” she explained, adding a historical touch by noting that Napoleon gifted a similar ring to his first wife, Joséphine. The actress described the ring as having “little diamonds” next to the main stone, symbolising their shared past and partnership rather than a solitary existence. “I’m not alone, we’re together,” she emphasized.
The unique engagement, which Seymour recalled occurred at their Malibu home, featured a humorous twist. Zambetti recounted the moment he proposed, saying, “I got down on my knees, the whole thing. I had the ring hidden in the safe.” Yet, the proposal quickly turned comical when the ring accidentally popped out of the box and onto the bed. He then found himself stuck under the bed, unable to get up, leading to laughter between the couple at their unexpected predicament.
The couple began their romance in 2023 after being introduced by their children. Their relationship appears to be rooted in partnership and support, which is evident in their playful interactions and shared life experiences. As Seymour continues her journey as both a successful actress and a woman in love, she relishes the joys of this new chapter.
As the conversation shifted towards the upcoming Emmy Awards, Seymour expressed her excitement about the nominations. “Some of my favourite shows are nominated,” she mentioned enthusiastically. Among those nominated is “The Pitt,” a show she has a deep admiration for, highlighting her continued engagement with the television industry. “I just love coming to celebrate good television and great performers,” she added, demonstrating her enduring passion for the art.
In a world where matters of the heart often gain wide attention, Seymour’s candidness about her relationship offers an inspiring narrative of love and commitment in later life. With her enchanting charm and spirit, Jane Seymour proves that romance knows no age and that happiness can blossom at any stage of life.
