But other than her tumble down moment, Star has uncovered a few surprising things about Amal’s Singapore-based sister.

1. She claimed she was younger than Amal (37), but Star found out she’s actually 43.

2. Tala’s body frame isn’t as thin as Amal’s, but she does follow the Paleo Diet which includes lean meats, nuts, fruits and vegetables.

4. She married a multimillionaire businessman who was based in Singapore, Nagi Hamiyeh, with a 13-year-old daughter Mia, who was the flower girl at George and Amal’s wedding. But is she still married? Reports are showing she’s all about a hunky French businessman named Nicholas now.
