Tia Mowry recently shared an emotional video on her Instagram about recovering from her divorce with Cory Hardrict.

“Recovering from a divorce feels like a whirlwind journey. I found out through the process that divorce isn’t a place where we arrive, it’s entering a new chapter of life with many nuances, and no one-size-fits-all handbook,” the actress stated in a voiceover.

She filed for divorce from Hardrict in October 2022 after 15 years of marriage. Mowry cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their separation, and their divorce was finalized in April 2023. The pair share their 12-year-old son, Cree, and their 5-year-old daughter, Cairo, who were featured in the Instagram reel. Mowry recalled navigating a divorce with children, stating, “One moment you’re relieved, feeling like you’ve conquered something significant then suddenly, waves of emotions hit you all over again. It’s a side of divorce that isn’t often discussed, especially when there are kids involved. You strive to be a role model teaching them resilience, and self-care.”

In her reel, the 45-year-old mentioned different recreational activities that she participated in to help her release her emotions. She expressed that journaling, meditation, therapy, and exercise all helped her as she was healing. Mowry also emphasized that time had a role in soothing her pain. “Someday I believe I’ll be able to look back on this time with nothing but warmth and gratitude for the beautiful children brought into my life and the stronger version of myself that emerged from the experience,” she expressed emotionally.

Following the dissolution of their marriage, the pair share joint legal and physical custody of their children. They also maintain a healthy co-parenting relationship for their children. The Sister, Sister actress encouraged her fans who had similar experiences with their divorce to share their stories stating, “Share your story because there is power in dialogue. As women, we take our power back by sharing our stories, and bringing any deep shame we hold from this experience into the light.”

Mowry’s video garnered much support from her fans in the comments, who expressed gratitude for her vulnerability and wished her well.
