The Family Reunion actress, 44, and The Chi star, 42, have two children together: 11-year-old son Cree and 4-year-old daughter Cairo.“I have always been honest with my fans, and today is no different. I wanted to share that Cory and I have decided to go our separate ways,” Tia wrote on Instagram. “These decisions are never easy, and not without sadness. We will maintain a friendship as we co-parent our beautiful children. I am grateful for all the happy times we had together and want to thank my friends, family, and fans for your love and support as we start this new chapter moving forward in our lives.”

    Among those showing Tia support was her twin sister, Tamera. “❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you!” she commented.

    Speaking with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on the Today show, Tamera elaborated on her feelings about Tia and Cory’s split.

    “Your sister just announced that she’s going to be getting a divorce. Does half of your heart break for her?” Jenna said while talking about Tamera’s new memoir, You Should Sit Down For This.

    “I support her,” she responded. “So whatever she wants, the Mowrys have her back. I love her dearly. She is strong but I know right now she just kind of just wants to … kind of process it all, take it all in, and be a little private about that. As a sister, I’m just going to respect that.”

    Tia and Tamera’s youngest brother, Tavior Dontae Mowry, echoed similar words in the comments section. “I love you! And I support you ALWAYS,” he posted. (Tia and Tamera’s other brother, Tamera Mowry doesn’t appear to have shared his thoughts on social media.)

    As Sister, Sister fans may know, Tia and Cory first met on the set of the independent horror movie Hollywood Horror in 1999. After being friends for a year, the two started dating in 2000. Their engagement followed on Christmas Day 2006 before they tied the knot in the spring of 2008.

  • Tia Mowry files for divorce after 14 years of marriage

    ‘Sister, Sister’ star Tia Mowry has pulled the plug on her marriage with Cory Hardrict after 14 years of marriage.

    According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, Mowry filed the dissolution of marriage in Los Angeles County Courts and is citing “irreconcilable differences” as the cause for the split. The television star is asking for joint custody of her two children and wants the court to terminate its ability to award spousal support to either party.

    Mowry claims the couple entered into a prenuptial agreement, which appears to have outlined things like splitting up property, assets, and child support.

    Interestingly, the document says “pursuant to the parties’Premarital Agreement, all assets and obligations of each party are her/his separate property.” In other words, she will keep all that TV money.


    It should be noted, Tia seems to be taking no chances with this divorce, as she hired Kim Kardashian’s lawyer — Laura Wasser — to represent her in the case.

    Mowry met actor Cory Hardict on the set of their film, ‘Hollywood Horror,’ and dated for six years before getting married in 2008. The former couple welcomed their first child a few years later and currently share two minor children. Cory is an actor in his own right, starring in several TV shows in the 1990s including “ER,” “Smart Guy,” and “Felicity.”

    The divorce news will come as a shock to many fans, considering Tia is very vocal and open about her longstanding relationship in Hollywood. According to Essence, “After being together for 18 years, and married since 2008, Mowry-Hardrict said one of the things she loves most about their marriage is how Hardrict’s acts of faith and belief have elevated her own self-perception.”

    The actress described her marriage as not including “traditional gender roles.” Mowry said she makes the marriage an equal partnership, which avoids the traditional gender roles altogether. “We don’t put gender roles on our marriage and our relationship. If I’m working a lot and Cory’s home, he will put Cree to bed, and if dishes need to be washed, he will wash them,” Mowry told HuffPost Live. Adding, “So it’s not like, ‘Oh, I’m going to wait until my wife gets home and she’s going to be doing all that.’”

    Similarly, Mowry admits that while her husband was finishing up movies like ‘American Sniper’ she was doing a few fatherly responsibilities at home. “I had to take on those responsibilities that a father would do, I was out in the backyard teaching my son how to kick a ball. We don’t put labels on each other. … It’s a team effort, and at the end of the day it’s winning and however we get there, that’s what we do.”
