Another is that he and his wife, Rona, are particularly fond of John Legend and that his songs have been a "part of their relationship." When they got married in 2016, Rona walked down the aisle to one of the American singer's hits.

Amid playful thoughts about them taking children right off the streets ("That was kidnapping," Rona reminded Tai), they decided to undergo IVF, or in-vitro fertilization.

They knew that this was not going to be a cheap procedure so they decided to enter the "Amazing Race Asia" with hopes of using the cash prize (around P5 million) to pay for it.
