Jane said on the biggest filming day of the movie, Christopher told her the news. She said she started crying but quickly had to hide her feelings because she was filming a scene where her character, Elise was really happy.
So, Christopher and his ex got back together and had a son named Matthew. A few years later they had a daughter but ultimately split in 1987. Jane moved on as well and got married to David Flynn in 1981. They stayed together until 1992.
It wasn’t bad blood between Christopher and Jane. They stayed friends until his death in 2004. She concluded, “The good part of the story is that Chris went on to have these… beautiful children and we met one another on many occasions. We remained really, really close friends, literally until the day he died. I have to believe that I will one day see him somewhere in time.”
