The Family Reunion actress is a mom of two to 13-year-old Cree and 6-year-old Cairo. Both of which she shares with her ex-husband, Cory Hardrict. They married in 2008 and divorced in April 2023. According to Entertainment Tonight who reportedly gained access to the divorce paperwork, Mowry filed due to “irreconcilable differences.”

Sad Times

Even though Tia Mowry filed for divorce that doesn’t mean she isn’t entitled to being sad about it and as she recently expressed, she can’t discuss things with her sister due to her having her own family. Therefore, it seems Tia feels kind of alone and expresses her emotions whenever she needs to even if it means in front of her children.

After previously telling PEOPLE about life as a single mom and “always being in survival mode” almost a year ago today, it’s interesting to see how things have changed. She seemed to be making sure she was taking care of herself along with the children. Thankfully, she realized that it’s harder to take care of others if you’re not taking care of yourself.

On Friday, October 4th at the Hollywood premiere of her reality TV series, she discussed how she battles with showing her emotions in front of her young kids, especially Cairo since she is so young.

The actress explained, “I’ve made the choice to move from an authentic place. And allow [Cairo] to see that there are days when Mommy is sad. And that’s okay.” Additionally, she noted how it seems Cairo “feels my energy.”

The Power Of Children

Furthermore, she shared a time when Cairo had given her a “worry doll.” The young child did this to help her mother’s “worries go away.” This showing of emotions isn’t a debate for just Mowry it’s for everyone. Thus, she expressed, “The thing is as a mother, you kind of try to figure out if you should allow them to see your emotions, your ups, and your downs.”

Moreover, the mom explained, “But I think what’s just so beautiful about children is just because they’re young, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they don’t have a voice. It doesn’t necessarily mean that they don’t know what’s going on or they don’t know how to feel.”
However, it’s not just her that’s able to show her emotions. She makes sure to give her kids “space to express and just be authentic.” The Twitches actress went on to say, “And it’s not about covering up, you know, things. And I think when you move in authenticity, there’s healing, there’s growth — and I’ve allowed my children to do that as well.”
