The actress takes pride in her children from two of her marriages, with her eldest now in her early forties. They each contribute to the remarkable legacy she has built. Here’s a closer look at the lives of the celebrated TV star’s grown-up kids.
Jane Seymour is a mother of four children, whom she shares with two of her former spouses. Now adults, her kids have carved out their own paths, with some venturing into creative fields, following in their mother’s artistic footsteps.
Jane’s devotion to her children has always been central to her life, shaping both her career and personal decisions. Reflecting on her family values, she once
shared
, “The kids know I would choose family over any role and over anything in my life. I don’t know if I’m a great mum. I’m the best mum I know how to be.”
While raising her children, the actress prioritized listening, communicating, and staying present in their lives, often bringing them to film sets and making career sacrifices to ensure they felt supported and valued. “They know that I love what I do, and they also know we’re all about family, so they are all about family,”
added
the TV star.
Jane’s commitment to her family values extends to her eldest child, Katherine Flynn, whom she shares with her ex-husband, David Flynn. Born in January 1982, Katherine, now 42, has embraced her creative side as both
an actress
and photographer.
Reflecting on her guiding principles, Katherine
said
, “As a principle to live by, I try to connect with my vulnerability. This has served me as a parent, friend, and artist.”

Katherine’s photography and filmmaking focus on authenticity and capturing fleeting emotions, inspired by her children. She values curiosity, vulnerability, and allowing her kids to grow authentically while offering love and guidance.

Katherine’s creative journey mirrors that of her younger brother, Sean Flynn, who was born to Jane and David in July 1985. Now 39, Sean has pursued his passion in the arts as
a photographer
and director, focusing on film and fine art, as highlighted on his professional website.
Sean’s artistic path is shared by his younger twin brothers, Kristopher and John Keach, whom Jane welcomed with her former husband, actor and filmmaker James Keach in 1995. The twins’ arrival was a hard-earned joy for Jane, who faced multiple miscarriages before turning to IVF.

At 45, she encountered complications, including pre-eclampsia, leading to the twins’ birth six weeks early. Jane later
revealed
in an interview that she underwent an emergency C-section and only learned days afterward that she had “nearly died having them.”

Jane faced additional challenges after the twins’ birth, as both required constant monitoring due to
health concerns.
She shared that John turned blue twice shortly after they returned home, prompting an urgent return to the hospital for further care.

For the first four months, the twins needed round-the-clock observation, with heart monitors alerting caregivers to ensure they were breathing properly. Jane described the experience as a stressful time, requiring constant vigilance to address their fragile condition.
The twins have grown into their own, now 28 years old and soon turning 29 on November 30, 2024. Kristopher, the elder of the two, has pursued a
career in acting
. In 2022, he married Miso, a Korean woman, celebrating their union with
two ceremonies
held in Malibu and Korea.

Jane described the ceremony in Malibu as deeply moving, blending cultural influences and taking place in the family home, which held significant memories for Kristopher.

While Kristopher has embraced acting, his twin brother, John, who goes by Johnny, has carved a creative path in
music and visual arts
. According to his website, he writes songs, creates music, and develops visual art for exhibitions and events, showcasing his artistic versatility.

Johnny’s artistic pursuits embody the self-discovery and individuality that Jane has always nurtured in her children. As a parent, she believes in inspiring her kids by example rather than instruction.
The author
explained
in an interview, “I think the best way to be an inspiration is not to tell them things and tell them what to do but to let them find themselves, but at the same time hopefully walk the walk.” For Jane, listening is the foundation of strong parenting. She stressed the importance of hearing her children out, recognizing that everyone, especially her kids, wants to feel understood.
Jane frequently shares glimpses of her family life on Instagram, often featuring her children in heartwarming posts. In September 2023, she delighted fans with a photo of herself and her daughter Katherine, both beaming as they embraced. In response, one follower
remarked
