Tia Mowry and her twin sister Tamera became famous on their hit show Sister, Sister in the early 90s. They played identical twin sisters separated at birth and placed for adoption. Neither of their adoptive parents knew their daughter had a twin sister. A chance encounter at the mall brought them together, bringing their single mother and father together. Their household was nothing short of unconventional, and that’s all right. A year after their hit show ended in 1999, Tia Mowry’s husband was cast alongside her in a Halloween Horror movie. They’d never met, but that was that for them. It’s been 22 years since they met and began dating, and fans are shocked by their divorce announcement. Here are ten things you did not know about Tia Mowry and her husband.

7. Tia Mowry Credits Therapy for Her Decision
She’s a fan of therapy, and she always has been. She’s credited for allowing her to make this big decision and feel comfortable. She said that a lot of moments came together in rapid succession that allowed her to focus on what her happiness means and how that plays into her short life. Mowry knew she had to make significant life decisions, including focusing on herself rather than focusing on everyone else before herself. She knew at that moment that divorce was for her.
8. Tia Mowry’s Marriage was a Success For Her
Though she and Hardrict are set to divorce, she does not see her marriage as a failure. “My marriage was a success. I look at it as like a curriculum when you’re in college or high school. You’re learning; you’re growing; you’re evolving, you’re creating. I was able to create with Cory some beautiful, amazing children. At the end of that curriculum, there’s a graduation; there’s a celebration. So that’s basically how I’m looking at it now. And I feel like when people look at marriage, success equals longevity. But, no, at the end of the day, are they happy? Are they thriving? Are they growing? I feel like that is what is most important. It’s not about staying in something because however long you are in that situation, that equals success. It’s about really, again, are you happy? Because life is concise,” said Tia Mowry.
9. Cory Hardrict Said One Thing About Divorce
A few weeks following his wife’s announcement, he said one thing. That thing is that he loves his wife, his family, and his kids. He calls it real love, and he means it. Aside from this statement he made online, there has been nothing else from the actor about his family and what they are going through.
10. Tia Mowry’s Husband Did not Cheat
The only other thing he’s said regarding his marriage failing is that he is not a cheater. He commented “Lies” to a post that was made under his wife’s announcement accusing him of being a cheater. He will not discuss his marriage or personal life with anyone, and he’s been good about that over the year. However, he will not allow his name to be smeared.
