Tia Mowry opens up about life as a single mother to her two children after filing for divorce from her husband, Cory Hardrict, last month. More inside…
It’s been a little over a month since actress Tia Mowry filed for divorce from her husband of 14 years, Cory Hardrict, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason why. Since then, she has been taking time to focus on herself so she can heal and move on with her life. Since the divorce announcement, the “Sister, Sister” alum has been posting self-love videos and quotes of motivation.
Now, she’s ready to talk about her life with her two children post-divorce filing.
In a new interview with PEOPLE, the 44-year-old mom talked about what it’s like to be a single mother to her two children, 11-year-old son Cree, and 4-year-old daughter Cairo, whom she shares with her estranged husband.
These days, the actress/chef is "really learning how to really be present" in her new parental role.
”I feel like, especially as a mom wearing so many different hats, I'm always in survival mode,” she shared.
Now that it’s just her, the “Family Reunion” star said she always feels like she’s double checking everything to ensure the kids are good.
"I'm always making sure everybody is okay, everybody's alive, everybody's healthy, everybody's fed," she continued, "and making sure everybody's fine, they have no holes in their socks, et cetera."
"But for me," she continued, "it's about learning how to be aware and present with myself, and tapping in and making sure I too am taken care of. [Because] how can you take care of other people if your cup isn't filled?"
Although the divorce is hard on everyone, she said her kids are “doing well” and adjusting to their new normal. As for her daughter, Tia said Cairo is all about being active and is "constantly walking on her tippy toes."
”I just believe that she's going to be a ballerina one day, but I also think she's going to be the President of the United States,” she said. "She is so incredibly smart, she has a mind of her own. I'm obsessed with my kids."
A few weeks ago, photogs caught up with the “Sister, Sister” alum on a grocery run in Los Angeles, where she opened up about what life has been like initially after filing for divorce from the Brotherly Love actor. When asked how co-parenting was going, she responded:
”Amazing. Everything is going well. I really have nothing to complain about."
”I’m just taking everything a day at a time, and that's all I'm going to say to that," she continued.
In April 2008, Tia and Cory tied the knot in Santa Barbara, California. In 2011, the couple became parents for the first time, welcoming their son, Cree Taylor Hardrict, who is now 11, into the world. They became a family of four after they welcomed their second child, daughter Cairo Tiahna Hardrict, in 2018.
In the divorce documents, “The Game” star didn’t specify a date of separation from the "All American: Homecoming" star. However, she asked a judge for joint physical and legal custody of their two children. She’s also requested the judge terminate the court's ability to give spousal support to either, noting the couple had a prenup.
Sending them both positive vibes.
