Tia Mowry Reveals Why She Grew Apart From Twin Sister Tamera

Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry-Housley have always been America’s favorite twins, but recently, fans have noticed their close bond isn’t what it used to be.

In a candid interview, Tia finally opened up about why she’s been keeping her distance from Tamera—and it turns out, it’s not just about growing apart. There’s real drama and years of tension beneath the surface.

Tia has been on a journey of self-discovery since her public divorce from actor Cory Hardrict. She’s focused on her own happiness, peace, and identity—outside of her marriage, career, and even her role as a twin.

Tia says she’s outgrown some relationships, including the one with Tamera. While some fans see this as healthy boundary-setting, others feel Tia has been dismissive and even shady toward her sister for a while.

The differences between the sisters have become more pronounced in recent years. Tamera has embraced a traditional family life, married to Adam Housley, raising kids, and joining her in-laws’ winery business in Northern California. She’s close to their mother and models her parenting after her. Meanwhile, Tia’s been on a path of personal growth, figuring out who she is as an individual. This divergence is a big part of why they’ve drifted.

Tia’s divorce was a turning point. After 14 years of marriage, she decided to focus on herself. While she appeared to thrive, sharing moments of self-love on social media, she admitted to feeling lonely and missing the close bond with Tamera—especially during tough times.

“Being alone has been the most challenging part of my divorce,” Tia confessed. “There are times I wish my sister and I were still close so I could pick up the phone and call her.”

Fans have picked up on tension, especially from their reality show days, where Tia was sometimes seen as dismissive or critical of Tamera. Some believe Tia overshared about Tamera’s personal life, which may have contributed to their distance.

Tamera, ever the private one, never clapped back publicly, but it’s possible she set her own boundaries as well.

A key struggle for Tia has been her identity as a twin. She revealed that growing up, they were always seen as “the twins” rather than individuals. While that was fun as kids, it became harder as adults, especially as their lives took different paths. Their social media now reflects their separate journeys—Tamera living her best life with her family, Tia focusing on personal growth and independence.

Reactions from fans are mixed. Some hope the sisters will reconcile, believing the twin bond is unbreakable. Others criticize Tia for her timing—like announcing her divorce the same day Tamera released her book—or for being self-centered. Still, many relate to Tia’s quest for happiness and understand the need for personal space during major life changes.

Ultimately, Tia’s journey is about learning to love herself and stand alone, even if it means growing apart from her twin. Whether this distance is permanent or just a phase, only time will tell if the sisters will find their way back to each other.
