Australian actor Tai Hara is currently on our screens as Glen Strong in Death In Paradise spin-off series Return To Paradise. While many fans will recognise him for his roles in Home And Away and Colin From Accounts, Tai has an equally well-known wife, Fely Irvine, who was a member of children’s musical group Hi-5 before becoming a contestant on The Voice.
The couple first met when they both auditioned to become members of Hi-5, with Fely winning a place in the band but Tai not getting picked. Two years after that first meeting, Tai proposed to Fely at Drum castle in Scotland, while the couple were on a trip through Europe. Speaking to Australian mag, New Idea, Tai spoke about the moment he finally got down on one knee in Scotland. He said: “Obviously, I’d been planning it for quite a long time. I’d been carrying that ring around Europe for two weeks wrapped in three different bags and a sock, because it wasn’t as if I could hide it in the hotel safe. I was terrified that someone was going to steal my luggage!”
The couple married two years after his romantic proposal, on 6 February 2017 in Bali. Tai shared a photo of the happy couple with the caption: “Nothing compares.”
Since then, the pair have shared photos of their trips together on social media, and also announced Fely’s pregnancy in 2020 with a clip in which she sang while Tai played the guitar. They ended the clip with the words: “Can’t wait to meet you baby irvine hara.”
