I was in a noughties girl group but I quit fame to relocate to the US with my husband and kids
TANYA Boniface Bryson was originally known for being a member of a noughties girl group, but actually made it as an actress after moving to the US.
The versatile pop star was in an English girl group called The 411 who got together in 2002.
Tanya was initially one of the most recognised singers out of the four girls, but after two hit singles the group was dropped by Sony and disbanded.
Although she took a break from singing, the young woman actually married into the industry after connecting with famous vocalist Peabo Bryson.
Tanya was only 30 when she met the 56-year-old soul singer, but the pair settled down happily despite the age difference and now have a son together.
He actually thanks Aretha Franklin for their romance, saying that he was ready to give up on love before meeting his wife, but the queen of soul advised him to keep waiting to meet someone special.
Tanya followed her heart and moved to the US to be with her hubby, but ended up finding another calling across the Atlantic.
She went on to play roles in films such as Becky & Berry, Cells, and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
Now Tanya and Peabo have been happily married for 13 years and the pair frequently post about their life together with their young son Robert.
From their photos it appears the boy has recently started primary school, and is following in his parents’ footsteps by participating in a school choir.
