AceShowbiz - Tia Mowry candidly discusses the significant transitions in her life, including her divorce from Cory Hardrict and her strained relationship with her twin sister, Tamera Mowry-Housley, in the trailer for her new WeTV docuseries "Tia Mowry: My Next Act." The former "Sister, Sister" star, who has been in the public eye since the age of 14, is navigating a new chapter of self-discovery and independence.
"I came into this world with a twin and right after that, I went into a 22-year relationship so I have never been alone in my life. It has been quite a journey," Mowry says in the teaser, shared on YouTube.
She reveals that being alone has been the most challenging part of her divorce, "It's times like this when I feel and wish that my sister and I were still close, and I could pick up the phone and call her, but that's just not where we are right now."
The Mowry sisters, who rose to fame in the 1990s with the breakout sitcom "Sister, Sister," have seemingly grown distant, a fact that has surprised many fans. While Tia hasn't detailed the reasons behind their strained relationship, rumors suggest physical distance due to their different locations might be a factor.
Tia announced her split from Hardrict in October 2022 via Instagram, ending a 14-year marriage. The couple, who share two children, son Cree and daughter Cairo, finalized their divorce in April 2023.
In the series trailer, Tia emphasizes the importance of authenticity, saying, "I became tired of people thinking everything was perfect when it wasn't. I think I lost me. I have this beautiful house, I have amazing kids, but the one thing I don't have is love."
Tamera, who has praised Tia for handling the divorce with grace, told Us Weekly, "You have your ups [and] you have your downs - but she's allowing her experience to change her." Despite the ups and downs, Tamera expressed her love and support for her sister, emphasizing the importance of learning and growing from life's challenges.
Tia's journey is a testament to resilience and the pursuit of happiness. "Divorce is about starting over, and you have to learn how to live again," she says. Her new docuseries promises to give fans an intimate look into her life as she prioritizes herself and her children's well-being. "I have a choice to speak my mind, I have a choice to be me, I have a choice to be happy."
