More than just words, Tamera Mowry is supporting her sister Tia Mowry.
On October 4, Tia announced that she and her husband, Cory Hardrict, are separating after more than 14 years of marriage. The Family Reunion actress, 44, and The Chi star, 42, have two children together: 11-year-old son Cree and 4-year-old daughter Cairo.“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,” Tia wrote on Instagram. “These decisions are never easy, and not without sadness. 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.”
Among those showing Tia support was her twin sister, Tamera. “❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you!” she commented.
Speaking with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on the Today show, Tamera elaborated on her feelings about Tia and Cory’s split.
“Your sister just announced that she’s going to be getting a divorce. Does half of your heart break for her?” Jenna said while talking about Tamera’s new memoir, You Should Sit Down For This.
“I support her,” she responded. “So whatever she wants, the Mowrys have her back. I love her dearly. She is strong but I know right now she just kind of just wants to … kind of process it all, take it all in, and be a little private about that. As a sister, I’m just going to respect that.”
Tia and Tamera’s youngest brother, Tavior Dontae Mowry, echoed similar words in the comments section. “I love you! And I support you ALWAYS,” he posted. (Tia and Tamera’s other brother, Tamera Mowry doesn’t appear to have shared his thoughts on social media.)
As Sister, Sister fans may know, Tia and Cory first met on the set of the independent horror movie Hollywood Horror in 1999. After being friends for a year, the two started dating in 2000. Their engagement followed on Christmas Day 2006 before they tied the knot in the spring of 2008.
