Her family encouraged her to audition for
Popstars in early 1999, and, much to her astonishment, she made the cut and eventually became a member of
TrueBliss, the first band ever to be formed out of
Popstars. The five girls went on to cut a #1 single followed by a #1 album, before they (unofficially) parted in late 2000. In February 2000, Alatini married her long-time boyfriend Pita, who had proposed to her on her 24th birthday. She also formed a singing group with her sisters and made various singing appearances all over New Zealand throughout the years. In late 2001, she recorded several songs with her sisters, some of which have been released on the
Abe Messiah: New Edition album. Alatini has also enjoyed a lively career as an actress. She started off with guest stints on
Hercules and
Young Hercules. Her actress sister
Meryl Cassie helped her and her younger sister Monique land parts as core characters in
The Tribe. In addition, she played Dr. Leggz in the wacky comedic drama series
Atlantis High. Soon after filming ended, Alatini gave birth to her second daughter named Tiara. In 2005, she delivered her first son, Trey. From 2003 to 2006, Alatini lived in
Tokyo, Japan with her husband, where he plays
rugby, and their three children. On 12 May 2006, it was announced that Alatini had accepted the offer of becoming a judge on the panel of the forthcoming
third season of
New Zealand Idol. In 2007, Megan appeared on the
third season of
Dancing with the Stars in New Zealand, where she placed runner-up. In mid 2008, along with Pita and her three children, she moved back to Japan so he could play rugby union. They visit New Zealand often. In March 2011, Megan and her family were affected by the Japanese 9.0 magnitude
earthquake and tsunami where they were evacuated from their home. They were safely transported back to New Zealand approximately 1 week after the disaster occurred. In 2014, she became a flight attendant with
Air New Zealand. ==Discography==
