Tia Mowry's Heartfelt Revelation

In a heartfelt revelation, Tia Mowry, the beloved star of "Sister, Sister," is sharing her innermost feelings about navigating life alone for the first time. In a sneak peek of her upcoming WE TV series *Tia Mowry: My Next Act*, the 46-year-old actress addresses the emotional challenges following her divorce from ex-husband Cory Hardrict and her complicated relationship with twin sister Tamera Mowry-Housley.

"I came into this world with a twin, and right after that, I went into a 22-year relationship. I have never been alone in my life. It has been quite a journey," Tia states, poignantly articulating the isolating feelings that have emerged during this transitional period. She elaborates, "Being alone has been the most challenging part of my divorce," referring to her split from Hardrict after a 14-year marriage that began in 2008.

Wishing for Closeness with Tamera

Tia's sentiment of wishing for closeness with Tamera resonates with many fans, especially since she expressed, "It's times like this when I feel and wish that my sister and I were still close." The sisters were known for their strong bond, and her admission left many shocked at this newfound distance. One fan expressed their sadness online, commenting, "That made my heart sink to know you and Tamera are not close like y’all used to be."

However, a source reached by PEOPLE clarified that Tia's comments about their distance primarily stem from physical separation—Tamera resides in Napa, California, while Tia lives in Los Angeles. That said, Tia and Tamera have shared affectionate moments in the past, including a lighthearted anecdote Tia posted on Instagram about Tamera sipping her breast milk, reminding their fans of their iconic sisterly bond.

A Deeper Side of Tia

Tia has been in the public eye since she was just 14, and in the teaser, she expresses a desire for the world to see a deeper side of her. "There is a whole other side of me," she asserts, hinting at the themes of authenticity and personal growth that will be explored in her upcoming series.

Family Life and Future

As for her family life, Tia and Hardrict share two children—13-year-old son Cree and 6-year-old daughter Cairo. Their divorce was finalized in April 2023, following a split announcement in October 2022, which Tia shared with her followers in a heartfelt Instagram post.
