Tia Mowry recently addressed her relationship with twin sister Tamera Mowry-Housley in an 11-minute preview of her upcoming WE tv series, *Tia Mowry: My Next Act*.
Tia revealed that she is no longer “close” with Tamera and reflected on her divorce from Cory Hardrict, emphasizing the challenge of being alone after a lifelong partnership.
Following reactions from fans expressing shock and sadness, Tia clarified her comments in an interview with Us Weekly, discussing the current state of her relationship with Tamera.
“This is basically what I was insinuating: I feel like as we grow up, we all start our own families and their children need to lean on them,” Tia said Tuesday. “We begin to take on new roles and responsibilities within our lives. That is what that was all about.”
She added, “In these transitions in life, sometimes you just want a hug and you just want someone to be as accessible as they used to be, and that is not the case. It’s called life.”
Tia explained to the outlet that Tamera also doesn’t live nearby. While Tia resides in Los Angeles near their father Timothy and brother Tahj, Tamera settled in Napa, California — a six hour drive from Los Angeles — with her husband, Adam Housley, and kids Aden, 11, and Ariah, 9.
