Tia Mowry Opens Up: Why She Struggles With Tamera’s White Husband and Their Sisterly Rift

Tia Mowry has recently shared her struggles with loneliness after her divorce from Cory Hardrict, revealing that the most difficult part has been feeling isolated and unable to turn to her twin sister, Tamera Mowry-Housley, for support.

Once inseparable, the famous twins now live separate lives, each with their own families and priorities. Many fans have noticed the growing distance between them and are left wondering what caused such a rift.

While there are several factors at play, one significant element seems to be the influence of Tamera’s husband, Adam Housley. Some believe Adam’s conservative, often controversial views—especially on race and politics—have contributed to the sisters’ estrangement.

As a former Fox News correspondent, Adam has faced public criticism for his remarks on sensitive topics, including his support for SNAP (food stamp) reform and his comments about high-profile cases like Trayvon Martin’s.

Critics say these opinions don’t align with the values Tia and Tamera were raised with as Black women, and may have created tension within the family.

Tia and Tamera rose to fame together in the ‘90s and early 2000s, starring in the beloved sitcom “Sister, Sister” and later in Disney’s “Twitches.”

Their bond was so deep that Tia often described it as “twin tuition”—an unspoken connection that made them feel like soulmates, or “wombmates.” They supported each other through the challenges of childhood stardom and even launched business ventures and wrote books together as adults.

But as both sisters married and started their own families, their paths began to diverge. Tamera married Adam Housley in 2011 after six years of dating, while Tia married actor Cory Hardrict in 2008. Though Tia’s marriage eventually ended in 2022, she often spoke warmly of Cory’s support during their years together.

The sisters’ separation became more apparent after Tia’s divorce. In a teaser for her new reality show, Tia admitted that she missed being able to call Tamera for comfort.

She acknowledged that they now live in different places with different needs and desires, and that their lives have naturally grown apart. Still, Tia’s reflections revealed a longing for the closeness they once shared.

Tamera, for her part, has defended her husband against allegations of racism, insisting that she would never marry someone with those beliefs. She’s spoken candidly about the scrutiny her interracial marriage brings, especially given Adam’s background at Fox News.

Despite her assurances, some in the public—and possibly within her family—remain unconvinced, believing that Adam’s views have influenced the sisters’ dynamic.

Ultimately, Tia recognizes that growing families and responsibilities can naturally change sibling relationships. She emphasizes that, despite the distance, there is still love and an unbreakable bond between her and Tamera. However, her recent comments make it clear that she wishes things were different, and that she misses the unwavering support and connection they once had.

As Tia and Tamera navigate their own journeys, their story highlights the complexities of family, marriage, and identity in the public eye—and the challenges of maintaining lifelong bonds when life takes you in different directions.
