Tia Mowry is embracing independence.

That’s the sentiment reflected in her new reality series on We TV, “Tia Mowry: My Next Act.” The actress, initially popular from the 1990s sitcom “Sister, Sister,” where she starred alongside her twin sister, Tamera Mowry-Housley, is starting a new chapter following her divorce from Cory Hardrict. It’s her time to shine solo.

“Honestly, I didn’t envision this show until I experienced a major transformation in my life,” Mowry shared with YSL News. “I feel that if I didn’t take this step, I wouldn’t be true to myself.”

This series consists of eight episodes showcasing Mowry, 46, as she explores dating, navigates co-parenting, and reveals emotions often absent in reality television; it’s her first foray into this kind of personal storytelling since the Style Network’s “Tia & Tamera” series in the early 2010s.

In addition, Mowry is set to executive produce and star in the Lifetime holiday movie “A Very Merry Beauty Salon,” alongside her former “Sister, Sister” co-star RonReaco Lee.

Mowry shares her insights on dating, her cherished activities with her children, and finding joy in her single life.

Tia Mowry navigates single life during her ‘healing journey’

Mowry describes this time in her life as her “healing journey.” She finds solace being alone, stating, “I am great company,” but also admits to yearning for companionship.

“I sometimes experience loneliness, craving physical touch and someone to hold,” she reflects. “But I make sure to turn inward when those feelings arise.”

Throughout the series, Mowry candidly discusses her feelings of loneliness following her divorce, including the emotional experience of dropping off her daughter at her ex’s place and returning to a vacant house. Viewers also witness her emotional struggle due to the distance with her sister.

“I feel less lonely now because I’ve built a relationship with myself,” she explains. “What I was doing before felt like a trauma reaction: seeking validation and looking for others to fill the empty spaces in my life.”

Nevertheless, she finds support from her “wonderful kids” and her extended network.

“I have a fantastic tribe of friends and family that I reach out to when I need support,” she adds. “And I also find comfort in solitude, allowing me to process my emotions.”

Tia Mowry’s dating insights focus on maintaining a positive mindset

After her divorce, Mowry has adopted a more “positive and hopeful” attitude toward dating.

“I truly believe that the energy you emit will come back to you,” she shares. “My outlook has transformed; what is meant to be will happen. I won’t miss my ideal partner, nor will they miss me.”

Mowry also approaches dating as a “learning experience,” focusing on aspects she can control.

“When I go on a date, I don’t focus on whether he’s ‘the one’. Instead, I’m open to what I can gain from the experience.

“Where is this going? Will he be my boyfriend?” I used to dwell on these questions. Now, I focus on asking myself, “What can I learn about who I am?”

Another tip: She emphasizes that maintaining a low-pressure atmosphere helps her feel more at ease.

“It helps keep things light-hearted and enjoyable. I’m in charge of my life; I’m not in the ‘pick me, choose me’ phase anymore. I prefer to take charge rather than worry about what someone else thinks. That kind of thinking can be draining.”

Tia Mowry’s kids are a key part of her morning routine

Mowry treasures the little moments, like beginning her day with her kids.

“Every morning, my daughter Cairo is usually the first to come in and hang out in my bed. We share cuddles,” she explains. After Cairo, her 13-year-old son Cree joins them. “Waking up to my kids by my side fills me with so much joy; it’s incredibly rewarding to be their mom and shower them with love.”

Halloween is a big deal for Tia Mowry’s family

The “Twitches” actress recently enjoyed Halloween with her kids at Disneyland, where they dressed as characters from “Monsters, Inc.” “Halloween is a huge celebration in our family,” she shares.

Cairo, age 6, surprised everyone by dressing up as Mike Wazowski, while Mowry went as Boo, and Cree completed the costume ensemble. “I’m thrilled that he still wants to participate in themed costumes, especially since he’s a teenager and values his independence,” Mowry mentions. “He said, ‘No Mom, I’ll be Sully.’”

The actress shares a special bond with her son through their mutual passion for travel. They’re looking forward to a trip to Dubai later this year.

“He’s fascinated with aviation and airplanes,” she notes, explaining that he enjoys flying a virtual flight simulator. The opportunity to actually experience the flight in real life has him “thrilled.”

“For me, it’s all about spending quality time intentionally with my kids.”
