When did Tia Mowry separate from Cory Hardrict? Actress opens up about overcoming 'gut-wrenching feeling' of divorce

Tia Mowry, known for Twitches, is opening up about how she navigated life after divorce. The actress, who married Cory Hardrict in 2008, filed for divorce in October 2022. Mowry cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their separation, according to TMZ.

At the time, Mowry also made an announcement on social media about her split, and wrote:

“I have always been honest with my fans, and today is no different. I wanted to share that Cory and I have decided to go our separate ways. These decisions are never easy, and not without sadness.”

About parenting their two children, Cairo and Cree, Mowry wrote:

“We will maintain a friendship as we co-parent our beautiful children. I am grateful for all the happy times we had together and want to thank my friends, family and fans for your love and support as we start this new chapter moving forward in our lives.”

Tia Mowry’s advice on how to deal with divorce

On June 25, Tia Mowry took to her Instagram Stories to share that she was doing an “Ask Me Anything” session. She invited fans to send her questions about life that she could answer openly.

When a fan asked her about how to “recover” from her divorce, Mowry candidly replied:

“I think I'd say: dive into doing the work. Really, truly focus on self-care. Focus on what makes you happy and what brings you joy. Build a tribe, a community of friends, a support system. Meditate. Try new hobbies. Read books on healing. Spend time with your kids if you have them, or just surround yourself with people who genuinely love and support you.”

Mowry added that it can be helpful to engage in activities that one likes. She added:

“Do things that feel fun and fulfilling. Travel, if you can. Traveling really helped me. It's all about creating new experiences. The more experiences you have, the further away you get from that heavy, gut-wrenching feeling of divorce.”

Speaking about healing, Mowry also said:

“Also, allow yourself to cry. Allow yourself to feel it all. Just don't let it consume you. I hope that helps.”

Mowry has often shared moments with her ex-husband Cory Hardrict on social media, reflecting a continued commitment to co-parenting.

Tia Mowry addressed the reasons for her split

Recently, during an episode of her reality show, Tia Mowry: My Next Act, she spoke about her split from Cory Hardrict with former Sister, Sister co-star Jackée Harry.

According to Essence, Harry hinted that the reason behind Mowry’s divorce was related to the actress’s success. She said:

“If I might say, somebody else was dissatisfied that they weren’t working. One partner makes more money or has more success is a gap that is so hard and that can’t work. You can’t have competition. It just does not work.”

Essence noted that the two co-stars also spoke about dating after divorce. Mowry opened up about her struggles, and said:
