Tia Mowry found travel healing post-divorce
The former Sister, Sister star split from Cory Hardrict - with whom she has Cree, 13, and seven-year-old Cairo - in 2023 after 15 years of marriage and she has urged anyone who finds themselves suddenly single to "dive into doing the work" on themselves and to take time for self-care.
Asked during a fan Q+A on her Instagram Story how to recover from a divorce, she wrote: "I think I'd say: dive into doing the work.
"Really, truly focus on self-care. Focus on what makes you happy and what brings you joy.
"Build a tribe, a community of friends, a support system. Meditate. Try new hobbies. Read books on healing. Spend time with your kids if you have them, or just surround yourself with people who genuinely love and support you.
'Do things that feel fun and fulfilling. Travel, if you can. Traveling really helped me. It's all about creating new experiences. The more experiences you have, the further away you get from that heavy, gut-wrenching feeling of divorce.'
The 46-year-old actress stressed that it is OK to feel emotional but to try not to get "consumed" by sadness.
She added: 'Also, allow yourself to cry. Allow yourself to feel it all. Just don't let it consume you. I hope that helps.'
Cory recently explained he and Tia had managed to avoid a "messy" divorce by putting their children first.
Speaking on 'Sherri', the 45-year-old actor said: "Everything starts and ends with love. We are a family, no matter what people say. I block out the noise. My kids are going to live to see this one day, and I am going to represent for them, always.
"If you really love your children, you won't get involved in the noise or the mess. I make sure that I always think about them first. I put myself last. If you do that, you're going to avoid the mess."
His comments come shortly after Tia revealed that Cory had been her "first everything" and that she had never really known anything than their marriage when it comes to relationships.
Speaking during a confessional segment on her WeTV reality show 'Tia Mowry: My Next Act', she explained: "You know I've never dated. Cory was my first everything.
'I wasn't even allowed to date until I was 18 years old. "I met Cory when I turned 20 and I lost my virginity at 25. There, I said it! And then we got married! Boom!"

Child stardom is tough, says Tia Mowry
Tia Mowry found child stardom to be "tough". The 46-year-old actress starred opposite her twin sister Tamera Mowry in Sister, Sister, the hit TV sitcom, in the 90s - but Tia now admits that she struggled to cope with the stresses and strains of fame at such a young age. In response to a fan question on Instagram, Tia explained: "Being a child actor definitely came with its pros and cons. On the plus side, it taught me responsibility early on. By the time I got to college, I already knew what it meant to show up for work, have call times, and stay disciplined. But growing up in front of the world? That part was tough. You're still figuring out who you are, and everyone has an opinion." Tia appreciated being able to lean on her twin sister for support. However, the actress still regrets that she didn't get to experience a normal childhood. She said: "I'm grateful I had my sister and family to keep me grounded. But... I didn't get to experience childhood the same way, especially when it came to things like dating. I was focused on work. And while I'm proud of that, I also think kids need space to just be kids and learn who they are." Meanwhile, Tia previously claimed that she encountered pay inequality and racial bias during her younger years. The actress recalled being treated differently to some of her co-stars. Speaking on her web series, Tia Mowry's Quick Fix, she explained: "It was very evident to me when I would walk on sets and see how certain stars or actors would be treated who weren't of ethnicity - better dressing room, better trailer. "Now I'm like, more aware what that was, which is a budget, but back then I didn't know what a budget was. It was so clear how you would see one show that didn't have a diverse cast that just had a bigger budget so everything just seemed bigger and better. But when it came to my projects and what I was doing, you actually really visually saw the less-than."

Ciara hints Rihanna has discussed possibility of 4th child just hours after confirming 3rd pregnancy
Ciara has hinted Rihanna is already thinking about potentially having a fourth child – just hours after announcing she is pregnant with her third baby. Singer Rihanna - who has sons RZA, two, and Riot, 21 months, with rapper A$AP Rocky - confirmed her third pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala on Monday night (05.05.25), and she bumped into the 39-year-old singer-songwriter and her husband, NFL star Russell Wilson, 36. Mother-of-four Ciara has told how she and Rihanna had a "straight mommy talk" conversation at the star-studded event, and the two couples discussed the possibility of she and Russell having a fifth baby, and Rihanna and A$AP having a fourth child. Speaking on chat show 'Sherri', she said: "Congratulations to her. "Oh my gosh, it was so sweet running into her. "I just have to shout her out because I'm so proud of her. "This is her third baby she's having now. "We were cracking up talking about … because Russ was with us, and ASAP, we all took a picture together. "Then he started talking about cinco [five], because you know I have four, "So he's talking about cinco and then we start talking about cuatro [four] for her. "Well, she got to get through the tres [three] first, that's the third baby. "It was straight mommy talk. Just sweet love. "It was a special moment." Ciara praised Rihanna for "rocking" her pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala, which took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where she cradled her baby bump while wearing a Marc Jacobs outfit. She said: "I've got to shout her out, because she also sent me a sweet DM a few months back saying she's so proud of me. "It's just sweet love. It's beautiful. "It's really beautiful. And I'm proud of her, too. "She is rocking it." The pals have six children between them, with one on the way, and Ciara believes it is great to see her and Rihanna have still been "successful" and pursued their "dreams" as well as have babies. She said: "What you get to see through our journeys as moms, and every woman that's doing it is you can really do it. "You can live your life, have beautiful, precious babies and still pursue your dreams. "Be successful."
