Joe Lando starred as outdoorsman Bryan Sully on the show from 1993 to 1998, with Jane Seymour in the titular role.
Jane Seymour thinks the short-lived romance between her and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman co-star Joe Lando “saved” their relationship.
Lando starred as outdoorsman Bryan Sully on the show from 1993 to 1998, with Jane in the titular role, and their friendship quickly developed into a relationship off screen.
It was brief, however, with Jane admitting in a TikTok video that it was Joe’s decision for them to “just be friends”.
She added to her co-star: “I think it was your choice. I was a little sad.
“But then I also did the match and I realised that you had planned to have a life that didn’t include suddenly having two other children.”
At the time, Jane had two children with her third husband Dylan Flynn, while Joe has four kids with his wife Kirsten Barlow.
But speaking about their strong friendship, Jane continued: “I think, actually, the fact that we did not end up having a relationship saved our relationship.
“The best part of our relationship, we’ve kept and grown up, which is that we really, genuinely adore each other.”
She added: “Joe has a fabulous wife and I have a pretty good man in my life!”
Jane recently announced her engagement to John Zambetti, as she told Us Weekly: “Someone decided they wanted to be with me for the rest of their lives. My singer-songwriter.”
She also told Page Six: “(I’m) still writing music and now I have become his muse. So now I have a singer-songwriter in the house, which is amazing.”
Jane’s engagement is set to lead to what will be her fifth marriage. She was previously married to theatre director Michael Attenborough, author Geoffrey Planer, business manager David Flynn and actor-director James Keach.
Jane has enjoyed a career spanning more than five decades, becoming a household name through Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman before continuing to work steadily across film and television.
More recently she has found renewed success with Harry Wild, the crime drama in which she plays a retired literature professor who becomes an amateur detective.
Speaking about her current projects, Jane said: “I’m on a show that I love, Harry Wild, my fifth season. “Who has a series when they’re 75? Nobody.
“I’m starting a great movie in Australia later this year, I’ve got a one-woman art show in New Jersey, my family is great, I’m surrounded by music.”
