- Actor Jane Seymour says dating in her 70s has changed how often she marks milestones.
- She and her partner celebrate their relationship monthly, since it's "a waste of time" to wait a full year.
- Being at the same life stage allows them to support each other through the realities of getting older, she said.
Jane Seymour says dating in her 70s has changed how often she celebrates milestones.
Speaking to Business Insider on Wednesday as part of her partnership with The Body Firm, Seymour said she believes a good relationship can have a positive impact on health.
"For me, I have absolutely found my perfect match in John Zambetti. August 4th will be our third anniversary of living together, being together," the former Bond girl said.
Seymour has been dating Zambetti, a doctor and musician, since 2023 after they met through their children. She is a mother of six, including stepchildren, and has been married four times previously.
"It's very sweet. He celebrates every month on the fourth because he says that we are living dog years at our age, and waiting a year to celebrate is a waste of time," she said.
Even though both of them have busy careers, they still find time for each other.
"That's what's really lovely, to have someone that is so supportive," Seymour said, adding that he often takes photos and videos for her, which end up on her Instagram.
Being at the same life stage helps them relate to each other better, she said.
"I mean, he will understand if my back tweaks out or if I am coughing or have a cold or whatever, and I'm there for him if whatever aging process he's going through," she said. "And we have a sense of humor about it. We're in it together."
For Seymour, that playfulness is a big part of what makes the relationship work.
"We have a lot of fun, and I would say having a great relationship is the icing on the cake," Seymour said.
She has spoken about their relationship in previous interviews. In October, Seymour told Hello Magazine they decided it was "safer" to celebrate every month since they met in their 70s.
"So every month, on the fourth, he sends me roses, wherever I am, whatever's going on. We're just so grateful for every minute we have together," she said.
