Where did your love of acting start?
I have loved performing for as long as I can remember. I was always making up my own plays and mini shows for my family and friends.
What is one thing that you love about the character you’re playing?
Tali is unashamedly herself, and I really admire that in people. It’s also really fun to be able to push the comedy of the character and play such a glamorous version of myself.
… And one thing that you don’t like? Tali is totally self-obsessed! To her own demise every time. But hopefully, she redeems herself in this season – we’ll have to wait and see.

Similarly,
Litnet reviewer Reney Warrington writes, “The first two episodes are even wittier and more over the top than
Tali’s Wedding Diary, but the characters are already drawn with humanity, with heart. The script, the direction, the actors are all on point. Here’s to
WHAT IT S ABOUT:
Tali Babes is back and - surprise! - she s pregnant! While she works on her new look as a momfluencer, Darren and Rael negotiate the choppy waters of the Cape Town property game. And, of course, none of it will be smooth sailing.
WHAT WE THOUGHT:
Tali s Baby Diary on Showmax delivers as the best South African television of 2021 so far – meticulously crafted super-television that shines with incredible quality stitching visible in even the smallest production details of this momcumentary .
As a second or follow-up season to the multiple award-winning
Tali s Wedding Diary, the very DNA of Julia Anastasopoulos and Ari Kruger s TV baby brilliantly shines through in their latest TV stroller that they created, wrote, executive produced, and with Julia once again starring as the self-obsessed and deliciously borderline-delusional Tali.
