Holly: The Langeraks sound interesting, but what about the other side of your family?
Simon: The Steeles? Hm, they are a whole other story. See, the Langeraks have stood out in science, business, sports and Law Enforcement; and some of them have even become famous, like mi father and his sister Lilian, who is an actress, or his cousin Cornell, who is an athlete. But the Steeles are genuine stars. Grandpa Simon is a Master Acrobat. And Myriam -she doesn’t want to be called “grandma"- is the great singer Myriam Royale. She's won many awards throughout her career, including the bestselling recording artist.
Holly: Simon Steele and Myriam Royale, sure, I’ve read about them, they’re a super famous and talented couple.
Simon: Yeah, and my mother inherited their talent. She used to be an acrobat too, but she retired shortly after she got married to dedicate herself to her children. After the divorce she came back as a sports model and advisor. She’s been in the covers of a few magazines, she has a blog, a website, and her own physical training show on a streaming platform.
Holly: Cassandra Langerak, true, I’ve watched her channel once or twice. She’s gorgeous and a total role model for the university female athletes.
Simon: I’m so proud of her, not only she's beautiful and talented, but she’s brave as well. She went through a lot these past years, but she never gave up, and now there she is, shining on her own right, like the star she always was.
Holly: Amazing...
Simon: And she’s not the only one in her family. Her older brother, uncle Vincent, he’s a gifted sculptor; and uncle Dominic, the youngest, he’s a fabulous horserider, he has won a number of races with his favorite horse Honeypie. Plus, he’s married to Matilda Hamming, a very popular singer, who is the daughter of aunt Kamillah -my father’s other sister- and the late actor Matthew Hamming.
Holly: Wow, the Steeles are indeed a family of stars. Will I get to know them too?
Simon: Sure, if you don’t mind dealing with a bunch of divas. A piece of cake, I guess, compared to all the Langeraks’ drama.
(They laugh together again).
