Tia Mowry is speaking out to clear up recent comments she made about her relationship with her twin sister, Tamera Mowry.

What Tia Mowry Said About Her Relationship With Tamera?
“I wish I could pick up the phone and call her, but that’s just not where we are right now,” Tia said in the preview. Her remarks quickly fueled speculation that the sisters were no longer on good terms. However, Tia is now setting the record straight and providing more context about her statement.
In an exclusive interview, Tia explained that her comments were not about a rift between her and Tamera, but rather the physical distance that has grown between them as their lives have evolved.
“What I was really getting at is how, as we grow older, we naturally drift apart because we’re all busy building our own lives and families,” Tia shared. “I think that’s something a lot of people can relate to. We’re all juggling so many responsibilities that it’s not as easy to stay as close as we once were.”

While Tia continues to live in Los Angeles, near some of their family members, including their brother Tahj Mowry and father Timothy Mowry, Tamera has settled in Napa with her husband, Adam Housley, and their two children, Aden, 11, and Ariah, 9. Their other brother, Tavior Mowry, resides in Tennessee.
Tia acknowledged that geographical distance has played a role in how much she and her twin interact. “In moments of transition, like I’ve been going through, sometimes you really need that close support system,” Tia said, referring to her recent divorce from actor Cory Hardrict. The former couple shares two children: son Cree, 13, and daughter Cairo, 6. “Sometimes, you just want a hug from someone who’s always been there, but the reality is, life changes. We’re all busy with our families, and it’s not always possible.”
Despite the physical separation, Tia emphasized that the bond between her and Tamera remains strong. “I love my sister deeply. She loves me just as much,” she reassured fans. “We still share an incredibly close connection, but life unfolds in different ways for everyone, and that’s what I was expressing.”
As for the online buzz surrounding her remarks, Tia said she wasn’t surprised. “When you’ve been in the entertainment industry for as long as we have, people are always looking for something to talk about, and things get taken out of context,” she told Us Weekly. “But both Tamera and I know who we are. We’ve been positive role models for years, and that won’t change.”
Looking forward, Tia is excited to share her personal journey through her new docuseries. Tia Mowry: My Next Act will give viewers a glimpse into her life post-divorce as she navigates a period of self-discovery and growth. “There’s something beautiful about embracing the unknown,” Tia said. “I’m learning more about myself every day — understanding my triggers, processing my traumas, and exploring how I’ve played a role in my own pain and healing.”
Tia’s new chapter is all about reflection, growth, and moving forward with confidence. Tia Mowry: My Next Act premieres on We TV on Friday, October 4, and will undoubtedly resonate with viewers who have followed the Mowry sisters throughout their decades-long career.
As Tia steps into this new phase of her life, she remains committed to her family, including her twin sister, Tamera, even if their lives have taken them in different directions. “We may not talk every day, but the love and connection we share is always there.”
