Former costars Jane Seymour and Joe Lando’s onscreen love affair on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman carried over to real life — but their offscreen romance didn’t last long.
The pair chatted to Entertainment Tonight about their reunion on AcornTV’s Harry Wild in a TikTok video posted on Friday, June 26, with Seymour, 75, laughing while insisting that it was Lando’s idea for them to “just be friends.”
“It was my fault,” Lando, 64, confessed, with Seymour adding. “I think it was your choice. I was a little sad. But then I also did the match and I realized that you had planned to have a life that didn’t include suddenly having two other children.”
At the time, Seymour had already shared two children — daughter Katherine, 44, and son Sean, 40 — with her third husband, Dylan Flynn. (She later welcomed twin sons, John and Kristopher, 30, with her fourth husband, James Keach. Seymour and Keach split in 2015.)
Lando’s rugged outdoorsman Byron Sully was the most popular love interest for Seymour’s title character, Dr. Michaela Quinn, during the CBS drama’s six-season run from 1993 to 1998.
“I think, actually, the fact that we did not end up having a relationship saved our relationship,” Seymour told her costar. “The best part of our relationship, we’ve kept and grown up, which is that we really, genuinely adore each other.”
Seymour added, “[Joe] has a fabulous wife and I have a pretty good man in my life!”
Lando has been married to Kirsten Barlow for 29 years and they share four children while Seymour announced her engagement to musician John Zambetti earlier this month.
In 2019, Seymour was less light-hearted about her split from Lando, recalling that it was “difficult” and “tough” to work with him after they broke up.

“We didn’t actually talk to each other, other than in dialogue or making out for about six or seven years,” Seymour exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “We, obviously, clearly loved one another and realized we couldn’t be actually in real-life together. I think we just played it [off] as Michaela and Sully.”
The two have since mended fences and are even working together again on Harry Wild, in which Seymour plays a retired literary professor who solves mysteries in her spare time. (Lando joined Harry Wild in season 5 as pathologist Pierce Kennedy.)
“The fans love seeing the two of us do almost anything together, but they wrote this for him,” Seymour told Us earlier this month.
Life in the bedroom has never been better for 72-year-old Jane Seymour and her boyfriend, John Zambetti. “Sex right now is more wonderful and passionate than anything I ever remember because it is built on trust, love, and experience,” Seymour, 72, wrote in an essay for Cosmopolitan’s “Sex After 60” issue published on Wednesday, January […]
She added, “I’m so grateful Joe and I have found some material we can do together right now. A new generation of young people are watching Harry Wild that are now going, ‘Wait a minute, what is that Dr. Quinn thing?’ Then they [watch and discover] Dr. Quinn is so current. We’re talking about racism, we’re talking about different cultures, religions, we’re talking about choices in medicine … and on and on and on.”
Harry Wild season 5 airs on AcornTV.
