The following year, 1985, Tamlyn was crowned Queen at the Miss Nikkei International.

It was her first beauty pageant victory at the 1984 Nisei Week Pageant that paved the way for her acting career. As part of her winning prize, Tamlyn got to travel to Hawaii where she was selected by director John G. Avildsen to star in the first sequel to 1984’s The Karate Kid.

Tamlyn portrayed the role of  Kumiko and thankfully the sequel was a hit becoming even more financially successful than the original. The Karate Kid Part II grossed $115.1 million from a  $13 million budget.

Tamlyn’s impressive acting soon opened the doors to more important roles, among them 1990’s Come See the Paradise, a World War II movie depicting how Japanese Americans were treated in America following the Pearl Harbour attack.

In 1991, Tamlyn was named by People magazine as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the world.

In 1993, she appeared in the film Come See the Paradise which featured an ensemble cast. She also had a role in 1995’s anthology comedy film Four Rooms which also starred Madonna and Antonio Banderas.

Tamlyn’s acting career continued to be active through to the new millennium. In 2008, she made an appearance in Shonda Rhimes’ TV series Private Practice. In 2012, she had a role in the gymnastic drama Make It or Break It. Some of her most recent films include The Good Neighbor (2016) and Berlin Station (2016).

When Tamlyn isn’t acting, she spends her time advocating for Asians.

Tamlyn keeps her private life very secret and is far from being tabloid fodder. In 2006 she was rumored to be in a relationship with fellow Asian native Grey Wantabe. Rumors of their relationship began to swirl after they were matched up in the 2006 independent film “Only the Brave.” However, rumors of their romance lasted but for a while.

Since then there has been no information whatsoever about Tamlyn’s romantic life. However, we conducted research and discovered that contrary to what most celebrity-focused sites are claiming, Tamlyn isn’t single but married. A tour of her Instagram page reveals that Tamlyn is married to a white man who appears to be an American.

She has posted a good number of photos with the unnamed man with both of them sporting wedding bands. Sadly there is no information about when the two became a couple. Tamlyn really does prefer to keep her personal life as private as she can.

Here are some photos as seen on her Instagram page.
