Mowry shared the news of the divorce via her Instagram page earlier this week and mentioned that the decision to separate had not been an easy one for her and her soon-to-be ex-husband. However, she wanted to be transparent with her fans.
She went on to say that the couple would remain friends and would be coparenting their children. Shortly after the announcement was posted, the rumor mill began churning and many believed that the reason for their separation was Hardict being unfaithful.
A post went up on Instagram accusing Hardict of cheating on his wife of 13 years, but he quickly refuted the claims by posting a simple "Lies!" in response to the post. Neither of the couple has spoken any further about their separation.
While the couple have been quiet about their impending separation, Mowry's sister, Tamera, spoke about the separation on an episode of "Today." She revealed:
“She [Tia] 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.”
Before the couple decided to separate, they were an iconic couple and many people wanted to know how they had made their marriage work for so long. They shared some tips and tricks, found below.
No Gender Roles At Home
Like other successful couples, the "Sister, Sister" star and her husband have so much respect for one another. Because of that, they don't box each other into specific roles. Mowry quipped:
“We’ve been doing this for years - we don’t focus on specific gender roles.”
Mowry, who tied the knot with Hardrict in 2008, said they always exert team effort at home. The couple shares son, Cree, 11, and daughter Cairo, 4, and try to become models of equality for their children.
Mowry also revealed that they only kissed a year after they started dating.
Their Courtship
In a 2017 interview, Mowry said that Hardrict did not have qualms about doing household chores. For her part, she would do sports with their son. They don't put labels on each other, Mowry added.
The "Family Reunion" actress also shared what their courtship was like. According to her, they refrained from getting too physical at the onset of their relationship.
Mowry also revealed that they only kissed a year after they started dating. The actress said they both wanted to make sure that what they had was real and special.
Back in October, Mowry also admitted that she and Hardrict had to schedule their time for intimacy as they juggle career, marriage, and parenthood.
Mowry has enjoyed immense success since starring in "Sister, Sister" alongside her twin sister, Tamera Mowry. Aside from acting, she has dabbled in writing, producing, and TV hosting.
But amid her busy career, she has always managed to squeeze in quality time with her husband and two children, as shown in photos she would share on her Instagram page.
