appears to be doing well as episodes of the show encourage conversation. In the latest episode, the actress sat down with her ex-partner Jackeé Harry to debate dating after their divorce.
Social media users are reacting to several talking points, especially Harry, who seemingly alludes to why Tia and her ex-husband Cory Hardrict split after 14 years. The actress suggested that Hardrict was unhappy because Tia’s profession was going higher than his. Fans have been speculating about the reasons for the split since announcing their separation in late 2022 and finalizing their divorce in April 2023. The 46-year-old has not provided an actual reason.
“If I may say, someone else was unhappy that they weren’t working,” Harry said during the chat. “One partner making more cash or being more successful is a niche that’s so wide that it’s inconceivable to fight it. You cannot have competition. It just doesn’t work,” Harry, 68, said.
“You can’t stop your career because you want to level it up,” added the actress, also emphasizing that she doesn’t “dislike” Hardrict. – But I already told him. I said, “I’m on Tia’s side.” I do know that in a divorce you’ve got to decide on one side. I don’t desire him to feel bad.”
In addition to briefly touching on the contentious issues in the former couple’s relationship, the former colleagues also spoke more broadly about dating and the idea that you could have all the things in life.
“You told me you can’t have everything in life,” Mowry told Harry, who played his mother, Lisa, in “Sister, Sister” through tears.
“Not all at once,” Harry interjected. “I told you I had it for three years of my profession, I had all of it my whole life. I had a person, a baby and money. Yes, all the things was working after which all of it went flawed,” she admitted.
From 1996 to 2003, Harry was married to hair stylist Elgin Charles.
“It was phenomenal. I had support. I had nannies. I had beach boys. I mean, I had everything, but you can’t have it all the time. Someone has to stay home with the kids or nurture the man’s ego. […] Do I sound bitter?” she asked.
During her confession, the mother of two children also admitted that she was afraid that she might make the same mistakes after the divorce.
“Working, being a mother and putting a lot of effort into dating right now is a lot to juggle and balance.” She continued: “And I can’t help but wonder if I’m repeating the same mistake now.”
Mowry has been open about her journey of healing from her divorce and sometimes posts relatable dating videos on TikTok. Even though fans are heavily criticizing her for leaving Hardrict and starting a brand new life, we hope that the actress will find the love she is looking for.
