Tia Mowry reveals she’s distanced from sister Tamera during her divorce
Tia Mowry is opening up about her strained relationship with her twin sister, Tamera Mowry-Housley.
The actress, known for her role in “Sister, Sister,” discussed her bond with Mowry-Housley, who previously co-hosted the daytime show “The Real,” in a trailer for her new WeTV documentary series “Tia Mowry: My Next Act.”
“The hardest part of my divorce has been feeling alone,” Mowry shares in the trailer from clips shared on social media. “In these moments, I really wish my sister and I were close enough that I could just call her, but that’s not where we stand currently.”
The reasons behind the tension between Mowry and Mowry-Housley remain unclear.
Mowry reflected, “I’ve always desired a family structure with both parents under one roof. Now, seeing my kids being dropped off, I can physically see that it isn’t the case anymore.” In 2022, she announced her separation from her ex-husband, actor Cory Hardrict, after 14 years of marriage via a widely shared Instagram post.
Tia and Hardrict have two children together: a son named Cree and a daughter named Cairo.
In her docuseries trailer, which chronicles her life after the divorce, she mentions, “This is the first time I’m truly recognizing that I have options. I can express my thoughts, I can be myself, I can pursue happiness.” In a touching moment, she breaks down, acknowledging, “I never realized I had a choice.”
