Jane Seymour’s 6 Children: Everything to Know

Fans know her as Dr. Quinn, medicine woman, a Wild West frontier doctor who cared for her adopted family and an entire town — but off-screen, Jane Seymour was taking care of her own six children: Jenni, Katherine, Sean, Kalen, John and Kristopher. “The kids know I would choose family over any role and over anything in my life,” Seymour told The Guardian in 2013. “I don’t know if I’m a great mum. I’m the best mum I know how to be. I think it’s all about listening to your children, communicating and caring enough to be involved in their life.”Kalen Keach was born in 1977 to actor James Keach and his then-wife, Holly Collins, who is the sister of folk musician Judy Collins. As an actor, Kalen appeared in projects like the TV show The Young Riders in 1991 and 1992 and the TV movie Submerged (2001). Kalen has also worked behind the scenes, producing the short films Sylvia and The Pinston Café in 2000 and working as a set dresser on Blind Dating in 2006. Seymour was married and divorced twice before she had children. She was first married to Michael Attenborough from 1971 to 1973 and then to Geoffrey Planer from 1978 to 1979. The actor married David Flynn in 1981, and Seymour became stepmother to his daughter Jenni Flynn, born in 1980. The couple welcomed Katherine Flynn in 1982 and Sean Flynn in 1985. Seymour and Flynn divorced in 1992, and the next year she married James Keach, who already had son Kalen Keach, born in 1977. Seymour and Keach had twin sons, John and Kristopher, in 1995 and later divorced in 2015. Though she only gave birth to four of her children, Seymour has said that she doesn’t consider her former stepchildren to be any different than her blood relatives. “We don’t use the word stepkids,” she told The Guardian. “We do not distinguish. I’m very proud of all my children, and I spend a lot of time with them. … If I co-parent a child, as I did Kalen and Jenni, I’m incredibly close to those mothers and their stepfathers. Jenni’s sisters from her mother’s following marriage will spend Christmas or New Year’s with me. My twins refer to Kalen’s two brothers from his mother’s then-marriage as their brothers from another mother.” Here’s everything to know about Jane Seymour’s six children, Jenni, Katherine, Sean, Kalen, John and Kristopher.
