Who Is Kristopher Steven Keach, Jane Seymour’s Son?

Jane Seymour raised six children. One became a rock musician. One is a filmmaker. One works in investment management across Southern California, marketing mutual funds and alternative investments with the same right arm that once struck out batters in an independent baseball league in Arizona. That is Kristopher Steven Keach. At 30, his life reads like nothing anyone looking at his parents’ careers would have predicted.

Who Is Kristopher Steven Keach?

Kristopher Steven Keach, known as Kris Keach, is an American investment professional and the son of actress Jane Seymour and filmmaker James Keach. Born in Los Angeles in 1995, he is one half of a set of twins. After completing a bachelor’s degree and MBA at Marymount California University, he played professional baseball as a pitcher for the Tucson Saguaros in Arizona’s Pecos League before moving into wealth management in 2020. He currently works at Gabelli Funds as an Investment Advisor Representative and External Wholesaler covering Southern California.


A Birth That Almost Didn’t Go to Plan

Kris and his twin brother John were conceived through in vitro fertilisation. Jane Seymour was 44 years old when she became pregnant, and the pregnancy was complicated from the start. Pre-eclampsia forced an emergency C-section six weeks before the due date. Jane later said she only found out days afterward how close it had come.

The trouble did not stop at the hospital. Once home, John turned blue twice. Both boys were readmitted and kept under monitoring for breathing, sucking, and swallowing. Heart monitors stayed on for months after that.

“If they even wriggled, the heart monitor would go off and somebody would have to be right on top of them and immediately make sure that they were breathing.” โ€” Jane Seymour

The two boys grew up inseparable. Jane spoke about it plainly when the twins were teenagers.

“There is a bond that twins have that is unspoken and quite formidable.” โ€” Jane Seymour, About.com, 2009

And in an interview with People around the same time, she told both of them the same thing.

“I keep telling the boys, ‘You’ll always have this unique connection that the rest of us don’t have.'” โ€” Jane Seymour, People, October 2009


Named After Christopher Reeve

Kristopher’s first name is a direct tribute to Christopher Reeve, the Superman actor and a close friend of his father, James Keach. Reeve died in October 2004. His twin brother carries a different set of namesakes: John for Johnny Cash, and Stacy for both their uncle, actor Stacy Keach, and their grandfather, Stacy Keach Sr.

Growing up in Malibu, Kris spent large stretches of his early childhood on the set of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, the television series his mother headlined and his father directed. In the show’s kitchen, a very young Kris would start picking up potatoes and throwing them. The crew showed him how to do it overhand. Jane remembered it years later as the clearest early sign of what was coming.

“There was no question, from birth, what he was going to do.” โ€” Jane Seymour, Arizona Daily Star, 2019


Education: Two Degrees, Both at the Top of His Class

After Malibu High School, Kris played college baseball at California State University, Los Angeles, where he studied Communications. He also attended College of the Canyons in Valencia, California, during his college years.

He went on to complete both an undergraduate degree and a Master of Business Administration at Marymount California University in Rancho Palos Verdes, graduating Summa Cum Laude on both occasions. Jane marked the MBA graduation with a tribute post on Instagram.

The business education would eventually matter more than anyone might have expected from the outside.


Pitching in the Pecos League: His Professional Baseball Career

After wrapping up at Marymount, Kris was weighing taking a full year away from baseball. A friend who had secured a spot on the Tucson Saguaros roster in Arizona’s Pecos League then decided not to play. He pointed Kris toward the team.

“So, randomly, I gave them a call. They couldn’t find my number, so I had to call them. I was going to take a year off, just because I hadn’t finished the season. I just called, and it worked out.” โ€” Kris Keach, Arizona Daily Star, 2019

It did work out. In the 2019 season, the right-handed pitcher appeared in 15 games for the Saguaros, made four starts, struck out 39 batters in 27.1 innings, and posted a 4.56 ERA. His record finished at 0-2.

Jane Seymour flew to Tucson for a game and threw out the first pitch at Cherry Field. Kris described the experience the way anyone who has competed at a higher level than expected might.

“It’s a humbling experience and I’m really enjoying it.” โ€” Kris Keach, Arizona Daily Star, 2019

The Pecos League is an independent professional league. No MLB affiliation, no development contract. He earned the roster spot by making the call himself.


From the Mound to Investment Management

By 2020, Kris had made the move into finance. He passed his Series 7, 63, and 65 licensing exams and joined Cardinal Sport, a division of Cardinal Capital Management, working specifically with athletes and entertainers on wealth management.

He later expanded into a full investment counsellor role at Cardinal Capital Management itself. In 2024, he joined Gabelli Funds (GAMCO Asset Management) as an Investment Advisor Representative and External Wholesaler, overseeing the Southern California territory.

In that role, Kris markets separately managed accounts, mutual funds, and alternative investments to broker-dealers, registered investment advisers, and banking channel advisors. He also serves as a team leader on the Gabelli Sports Marketing Group, where his background in professional sport and finance runs together in a fairly direct way.


Two Weddings, Two Countries

In December 2021, Kris and Miso were married in the garden of Jane Seymour’s Malibu estate, with the Pacific Ocean behind them and palm trees decorated in pale pink and mauve roses. The ceremony drew on both Western and Korean traditions, with guests wearing hanbok. Miso wore an ivory gown by Korean bridal label Marshall Bride. The photographer was Kris’s half-brother, Sean Flynn.

Kris had wanted that location since he was young.

“To get married in my backyard was something I wanted to do since I was a kid.” โ€” Kris Keach, Hello! Magazine, 2021

Jane, who attended alongside Kris’s father James, described the ceremony in terms that made clear what it meant.

“It was so moving to see them exchange their vows, especially with the influence of both their cultures and in the presence of family that had travelled from Korea and London, some for the first time ever.” โ€” Jane Seymour, Hello! Magazine, 2021

In July 2022, a second ceremony was held in Seoul, South Korea, for Miso’s family and friends. Jane wore a custom-made hanbok in pastel pink and baby blue, a gift from Miso’s parents. Kris and his twin brother John performed together at the reception, covering Christina Perri’s A Thousand Years. Miso reflected on wearing traditional dress again.

“I haven’t worn traditional Korean clothes since I was a young girl. Seeing everyone dressed in hanbok reminded me how beautiful the tradition and clothing are.” โ€” Miso Keach, Hello! Magazine, 2022


Kristie Love Keach: Born June 2025

In June 2025, Kris and Miso welcomed their first child: a daughter named Kristie Love Keach. Jane announced the birth on Instagram in a video taken from the hospital, with Kris holding his newborn daughter on screen.

“This is the most magical moment ever. Kristie Love Keach is perfect and we are all so thrilled to have her join our family.” โ€” Jane Seymour, Instagram, June 2025

In her caption, Jane noted that the same doctor who had delivered Kris and his twin brother thirty years earlier had now delivered Kristie.


Philanthropy: Open Hearts Foundation and the Horatio Alger Association

Beyond his work at Gabelli, Kris holds two active roles in the charitable space:

  • Advisory Board Member, Open Hearts Foundation โ€” the charity founded by his mother Jane Seymour, built around her long-held belief that an open heart is the foundation of lasting human connection
  • Legacy Ambassador, Horatio Alger Association โ€” one of the largest privately funded, need-based scholarship organisations in the United States. Since 1984, it has awarded more than $275 million in scholarships to over 38,000 students facing and overcoming significant adversity. Legacy Ambassadors are direct financial supporters who fund those scholarships.

A Brief Acting Credit, Never Revisited

At ten years old, Kris appeared as “Boy in Park #2” in the 2006 film Blind Dating, directed by his father James Keach. It is his only screen credit and he has not returned to performing in any capacity since.


The same doctor who delivered Kris and his twin brother thirty years ago delivered Kristie Love Keach in June 2025. Jane Seymour noted it quietly in her Instagram caption. In another family, that detail ends up in a magazine spread. Here, it was a line in a post, then nothing further.

Kristopher Steven Keach is not hard to find. He just does not make it particularly easy.

She has reported across politics, UK current affairs, business, culture, entertainment, celebrity news, sport, technology, and lifestyle, and she started Headline Magazine because she wanted to run a publication that treats its readers as people who follow the news closely and notices when a publication doesn't.
