Tia Mowry is finding a silver lining in her divorce from Cory Hardrict — especially when it comes to her children.“A part of my decision was also for them,” the 44-year-old Sister, Sister alum explained in her June/July 2023 cover story for HelloBeautiful, referring to son Cree, 11, and daughter Cairo, 5. “For them seeing their mother walk in truth, I feel like it’s a great lesson for them because it was not an easy decision.”Choosing to end her marriage to Hardrict, 43, was “one of the hardest decisions” Mowry ever made. “But if [my kids] see that mommy can do it, that mommy, no matter what people say, no matter, even if there’s some sort of doubt, whatever, mommy pushed through,” she added. “[They can say] my mommy is living and chasing her truth.

I want my children to do that. That’s the best gift I can give them.”The actress wanted to set an example for her little ones about living authentically. “I want for them not to live a life that I want them to live, for them not to live a life that everybody else wants them to live or what they think that they should be or live,” she explained. “I want them to see that it is OK to have a bad day.

I want them to see that it is OK to chase your joy. I want them to see that it is OK to live your truth.”Mowry and the All American: Homecoming actor tied the knot in 2008 after meeting on the set of Hollywood Horror eight years prior.
