Tia Mowry Opens Up About Strained Relationship with Twin Sister Tamera: 'It's Just Life'

2024-09-25

In a candid moment during a sneak peek of her upcoming WE tv series, Tia Mowry has revealed that she is no longer 'close' with her twin sister, Tamera Mowry-Housley.

Speaking during an emotional 11-minute clip posted on YouTube, Tia shared her feelings following her recent divorce from Cory Hardrict, which she finalized in 2023.

"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," Tia expressed, reflecting on the challenges of navigating life changes without her twin by her side.

At 46, Tia explained that she entered the world as a twin and has been in a long-term relationship for most of her life, making her current situation of solitude particularly difficult.

After the clip went viral and sparked concern among fans, Tia clarified her comments in an interview with Us Weekly.

She emphasized the natural evolution of relationships as family members grow and start their own lives.

"As we grow up, we all start our own families, and their children need to lean on them," Tia said, indicating that life transitions sometimes alter the dynamics of sibling relationships.

She pointed out the geographical distance as a factor, with Tamera living in Napa, California, roughly six hours away from Tia, who remains in Los Angeles.

Tamera is settled with her husband Adam Housley and their two children, 11-year-old Aden and 9-year-old Ariah, which adds to the complications of maintaining closeness.

"Despite the distance, I love my sister very much, and she loves me very much. We have a closeness and a beautiful connection," Tia reassured fans, reinforcing that their bond remains strong even if they aren't as accessible to one another as they used to be.

The actress also opened up about her feelings regarding dating after her divorce, describing herself as "terrified" and feeling "inexperienced." This sentiment resonates with many who have undergone similar life changes, making her story relatable to countless fans.

To sum it up, while Tia Mowry may not currently be as close to Tamera, she acknowledges that the evolution of their lives is a natural part of growing up and that their love for each other remains undeniably strong.

"It's just how life unfolds, and it happens with many families," she concluded, reminding us all that these transitions are universal.
