Jane Seymour Backpedals After Making Comments Regarding Arnold Schwarzenegger's Love Child

Jane Seymour is now doing some serious backpedaling ... claiming she actually DOESN'T know a thing about Arnold Scharzenegger's private life ... right!

The day the former governor's love child became national news, Seymour made some very distinct remarks about Schwarzenegger ... claiming she was "not even remotely surprised" and knew about two other out-of-wedlock children.

But fast forward to today, the actress told the ladies over at The View, she is "beyond sorry and appalled" she found herself even talking about the subject.

Seymour goes on to explain she didn't go "out of her way" to trash-talk Schwarzenegger, but was asked by the media about the topic when promoting her film, Love Marriage Wedding during the movie's premiere.

"I didn't know anything about anything. Unfortunately, the way it all got put together, it's beyond embarrassing ... I just feel so badly for Maria and the children ... I just hope they accept my apology."

The mother of four goes on to explain she didn't know "anything about any love children" -- and then blamed the media for spinning her comments.

Sounds as though someone may have gotten a call from her agent, or manager demanding her to make a public mea culpa ... for some reason, we are not predicting a Seymour/Schwarzenegger film in the near future.
