Mowry also shed light on the difficulties she’s having in her dating life now that she’s single.
Though Tia Mowry and Cory Hardrict’s divorce may have been smart and amicable, not much is known about what led to their split in the first place—until now.
The longtime actress shed light on it in an upcoming episode of her new reality show, “Tia Mowry: My Next Act.” In it, she spends some time with her former “Sister, Sister” costar Jackée Harry where they reflected on Mowry’s divorce and revealed her income and ability to get steady work in the industry—as opposed to her ex-husband and fellow actor Cory Hardrict—as one of the reasons that led to her marriage’s dissolvement.
For context, Mowry and Hardrict announced their split back in Oct. 2022. Their divorce was finalized amicably in April 2023. And while the aftermath seemed peaceful to outsiders, the two finally shed a little more light as to what played a role in the divorce in the first place.
“I did know from the other side, if I might say, somebody else was dissatisfied because they weren’t working,” Harry said, as Mowry tearfully agreed. “If one partner makes more money or is more successful, it’s a gap that is so hard and it can’t work out. It can’t have competition, it just does not work. And you can’t stop your career because you want to even it out.”
Harry also went on to tell Mowry she didn’t dislike Hardrict, she made it clear she was on her former fictional daughter’s side no matter what.
Later in their conversation, the “Twitches” star divulged the difficulty she’s having at the realization that she can’t “have it all,” all at once as it relates to her love life. Acknowledging that that’s something Harry told her years ago, Mowry then revealed her biggest fear as she navigates new dating territory: not being able to handle the demands of being present as a mom and an artist while being present as a romantic partner.
“Working, being a mother and just putting a lot of effort into dating right now is a lot to juggle and balance. And I can’t help but wonder if I’m repeating the same mistake [in her marriage] now,” Mowry said.
As previously reported by The Root, Mowry has been transparent about the issues she’s facing in her dating life but she remains hopeful that she’ll find her eventual “Prince Harry” soon.
