Divorce is never an easy decision, but sometimes it’s necessary to live your best life. That is what actress Tia Mowry realized.
In a recent cover story for HelloBeautiful, she opened up about what led her to make the decision to divorce her husband of 14 years, Cory Hardrict. One of those factors were her two children: son Cree and daughter Cairo.
“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,” she shared.
As people, we are inherently flawed, but so many of us chase perfection, especially as mothers. Mowry wants to break down those beliefs for her kids and give them the space to remember they’re human.
“I want them to see that it is okay to have a bad day,” she admitted. “I want them to see that it is okay to chase your joy. I want them to see that it is okay to live your truth.”
Mowry announced her separation from Hardrict in October 2022 via an Instagram post. The couple is committed to maintaining a friendship and co-parenting their children.
“What made me happy 10 years ago is different than what’s making me happy now,” she shared.
