She was one of the most famous Australian celebrities in the 1990s.
Toni Pearen rose to fame in the classic soap E Street when she was just 17, before enjoying a successful pop career and a stint on Home and Away.
These days, the 51-year-old leads a much quieter life out of the limelight, running an acting school in Sydney and raising her family on the northern beaches.
When she’s not focusing on her two children, Toni enjoys traveling and doing the odd media appearance here and there.
She has two children, son Lucky and daughter Ever, with husband Will Osmond.

These days, the 51-year-old runs an acting school in Sydney and focuses on raising her family on the northern beaches.
Speaking to Kidspot in 2017, Tony said of parenting: “When you have a newborn, there are 24 hours in the day and you’re awake for a lot of it. There’s a lot going on.
“Never in a million years before I had kids did I think I could walk away from my career, but I’m really proud that I did.
She previously told Sydney’s Daily Telegraph that she was ‘very grateful’ for the experiences she had in the entertainment industry.
“Seriously, my life was beyond my wildest dreams. I’m very grateful for the life I’ve had,” she said.
“I look back and I had wonderful experiences. I feel like I’ve lived my life 10 times longer.’
