KID SISTER'S SIMONE MY TWO WEDDINGS!

If Simone Nathan had known as a little girl that she would have two weddings, her mind might have just exploded. The stunning Kid Sister actress and writer recently married Taskmaster NZ star Paul Williams for the second time at a star-studded affair in the Bay of Islands.

The couple had previously wed in a Jewish ceremony in Sydney late last year and the experience has been documented in her "semiautobiographical" TVNZ+ show, which returns to our screens for a second season this week and in which Paul also stars.

Simone - who has also written for Our Flag Means Death, The Gone and Dark City: The Cleaner - is talking to Woman's Day from her parents' Auckland house, where she's living before she moves to London with Paul.

The 32-year-old explains, "I say Kid Sister is semiautobiographical because it's a good coverall term, so people aren't like, 'OK, this is your life. Some of the things are true, like Paul's character Ollie converting to Judaism.

Parts are taken from real experiences, but then I have to heighten them for the drama.

I definitely take liberties.

"It's enjoyable getting to play the truth, but it's also dangerous. What's true? What would be funnier than the truth? I've never had a baby and that's a big part of the storyline. We lay on stuff that would let me play out other fantasies. It's like an alternate universe Simone and Paul!"

The new series of Kid Sister follows her character Lulu's pregnancy and Ollie's aforementioned religious conversion, which means the couple can marry.

Simone admits, “When I finished season two, I was so stressed because the show had caught up to my real life and I didn't have any new material to draw on for another season.

"Now that more time has passed, I realise there is more to say because it's not like your life ends when you get married, then everything is perfect and happily ever after.
