Early Life

Even though Diane appears on the small screen almost every day, and gets a lot of public attention, she likes to keep her personal life very private. She’s shared almost nothing about her childhood and family with the public, in order to protect them and keep their privacy, as she thinks that dealing with public attention is something only people with great experience in the entertainment industry can and should handle.

However, it is known that she has a huge family – although she’s never revealed her parents’ names and occupations, she has mentioned in a couple of interviews that her mother has 15 and her father 13 siblings. She was raised to cherish the family, and that they should always be her center of attention.

She was given the incredible opportunity to have her own show, for which she produces, writes and coordinates stories, and reports on a variety of topics.
