She took the step to focus on her career in industry.

In 2021, the Pretty Little Liars star opened up about why she now speaks with an American accent after being asked during an Instagram Q&A if she was “sad” about losing her native accent.
“I don’t feel any less Australian,” Tammin replied. “Others, however, are sad and often mention it.”
Tammin’s shifting accent has grabbed headlines over the years, and fans have noted how she’s adopted the voice she uses for American television shows into her everyday life.

The It’s A Beautiful Thing hitmaker has always said she speaks the way she naturally does because she’s lived in America for most of her adult life.
Earlier this year, during an appearance on Today Extra, Tammin expressed interest in moving Down Under, saying: “My husband and I kept saying we were going back to Australia to split our time in both places.
“And because of work, we’ve been in LA, but I feel like … we’re meant to be here.”
‘I came here [Queensland] for a movie, but then the borders closed and it was amazing.”
