Tiffani Amber Thiessen, 49, is best known for being an iconic 90s bombshell who scored her big break on the hit sitcom "Saved by the Bell," in 1989. The brunette beauty was born in Long Beach, California, on January 23, 1974. After Thiessen's uncle, Roger Ernest advised that she try modeling and acting, Thiessen, who was eight at the time, booked her first television commercial.

She went on to compete in beauty pageants, winning the title of Miss Junior America in 1987. In addition to starring as Kelly Kapowski in "Saved by the Bell" for five years, Thiessen's career continued to grow.

Tiffani Thiessen Lives on a Farm with Her Husband and Their Two Children

Outside of boasting an impressive career resume, Thiessen is also a loving wife and a doting mother of two. The "She Fought Alone" star met her husband and father of her children, Brady Smith, in 2004. According to sources, the couple met through Thiessen's good friend Jenni Garth.

The chemistry between the two was undeniable from the start, and Brady revealed that Thiessen had made the first move. After an endearing and creative proposal, the two lovebirds tied the knot in 2005 in a garden-inspired wedding in Montecito.

Five years later, the couple welcomed their first child, Harper Smith, and in 2015, their son, Holt Smith, joined the family. Currently, the happy family lives on a Los Angeles farm that Thiessen and Brady purchased years ago.

The charming abode was originally built in the 1920s and once belonged to Jack Warner. After acquiring the lot, Thiessen and her husband decided to restore every room in the place. Thiessen described feeling an instant connection to the outdated residence when she and Brady initially saw it.

She loved that her home did not resemble the usual hustle and bustle energy of Los Angeles. A perfect day for the down-to-earth couple involves spending time with their beloved children and getting up to all sorts of family-filled fun outside, from swimming to running around.

Her priority, even when it comes to keeping fit and healthy, has everything to do with wanting to stick around for her kids and family.

Thiessen and her family even farm their own produce on their lot, of which they use eggs from their chicken coop when making everyday meals. As a foodie, the "Sweet Dreams" talent even has a cookbook, "Pull Up a Chair," inspired by her family. Other activities the nature-loving homemaker enjoys while living on her farm include hosting friends and family for dinner parties, a task she says she has a particular affinity for:

"...I have always loved cooking...I really started entertaining more when I bought my first house. I loved having people over and having them gather around my table."

For Thiessen, life on the farm is all about family. Every mention of activities she enjoys doing always involves her children. The hands-on mom who once home-schooled Harper, and Holt loves doing almost everything with them. When it comes to how she manages her hectic life, the star says it all comes down to knowing how to equally divide her time.

In a previous interview, she was asked how she manages to maintain being a devoted mom and wife while having a bustling career. Thiessen said she always tries to strike the perfect balance between everything, although she admitted being unsure about whether the concept of a perfect balance exists. Nonetheless, the mama bear of two does her best to do so.

Tiffani Thiessen Shared Her Thoughts about Aging

In addition to prioritizing work-life balance, Thiessen acknowledges the natural progression of her life as she approaches 50. She was recently featured on a podcast, where she spoke about her thoughts and feelings on aging. During the conversation, the question of whether or not she feels pressured to maintain her looks as she ages arose, to which Thiessen answered:

"I feel so much more at ease now than I was even ten years ago...it's just me growing up and me being much more understanding of just who I am..."

She went on to credit her parents for instilling great values in her from a young age, making her feel comfortable when it comes to getting older. Thiessen said that while she recognizes that turning 50 will mark a significant milestone and that people may have certain expectations for how she should look, she maintains a realistic perspective.

Instead of focusing on her external appearance, she directs her energy toward her mental and physical health. By doing this, she naturally maintains her outward beauty by looking after what's on the inside, which ultimately affects the external.

Her priority, even when it comes to keeping fit and healthy, has everything to do with wanting to stick around for her kids and family. According to the 90s icon:

"No matter what my body looks like or my face looks like, there is so much going on when you're having your children, right?... My main concern right now is just raising happy, healthy kids that are going to, you know, do well for themselves and society."

Supporters of the beloved star seem to agree with Thiessen's decision to allow herself to age naturally. Many commented on how great she still looks, with one fan saying:

"She is like a fine wine. She gets better with age."
