Jane Seymour has no intention of giving up her Jane Seymour Malibu home, even after wildfires have forced her to evacuate several times over the years. The actress told Page Six in an exclusive interview that the beauty of the coastal area and the strength of its community keep her rooted there.
She has lived on her Southern California estate for more than three decades, having purchased the 6,326-square-foot oceanfront property for $3.4 million in 1994. When asked whether she had ever thought about leaving, Seymour answered with an immediate no, describing the location as the most beautiful place and praising the people around her.
A History of Close Calls
Malibu’s steep terrain and strong Santa Ana winds have made wildfire evacuations a recurring part of life for Seymour, who is 75. She estimated that she has personally experienced at least half a dozen fires. One of the most recent came in December 2024, when flames came close to her property but ultimately spared it.
Seymour said she hopes and prays that her house will remain standing for a long time. She also expressed deep appreciation for the fire department that came to her aid, and she acknowledged that living near nature requires a degree of respect for its power.
Preparing the Property
The actress has not relied on luck alone. She said she removed plants from her garden years ago that were not drought-tolerant or that could easily ignite, and she followed guidance from the fire department about what she should and should not do around the property.
She has also set up defensive measures, including fire hydrants and a system connected to her pool. Even with those steps, Seymour described survival as partly a matter of chance.
Her family has a plan in place for future emergencies. Seymour is engaged to John Zambetti, a musician and emergency room physician.
Community and Career
Beyond her home, Seymour remains active with her QVC Soul to Soul jewelry line, which launched a collection of lab-grown diamond pieces on Nov. 6. The line includes sterling silver earrings, pendant necklaces, rings and bangles. Seymour said the jewelry carries meaning beyond carat weight or metal choice, and she credited her mother, a World War II survivor, with teaching her that everyone faces challenges and that helping others gives life purpose.
She also said that when she travels around the world, she is reminded of how special her corner of Malibu is. Having lived there for so long, she intends to keep supporting the community she calls home.
