The CHI actor Cory Hardrict is finally breaking his silence on his divorce from actress and ex-wife Tia. The couple was married for 15 years and had two children, son Cree, 12, and daughter Cairo, 6. The divorce news shocked their fans when Mowry shared they were splitting on social media, specifically Instagram, in October 2022.
She wrote, “I have always been honest with my fans, and today is no different. I wanted to share that Cory and I have decided to go our separate ways. These decisions are never easy, and not without sadness,” she wrote. “We will maintain a friendship as we co-parent our beautiful children. I am grateful for all the happy times we had together and want to thank my friends, family and fans for your love and support as we start this new chapter moving forward in our lives.”
Their marriage of 15 years ended officially when the divorce was finalized in April 2023. Recently, Hardict shared his grief with adorning fans at the American Black Film Festival, his guard down, and shared some of his challenges of being a private person and working through his pain and trauma. While sitting on a recent panel, he said, “It’s tough when it feels like you’re going through something alone and no one understands, and no one’s there for you,” discussed in a clip online.
On April 3rd, Mowry shared a video post on Instagram detailing her recovery process from the divorce. “Resilience: the art of bouncing back, stronger than before. ❤️,” Mowry, 45, captioned an Instagram video essay on Wednesday, April 3, featuring fun life clips. She continued, “Recovering from a divorce feels like a whirlwind journey,” she said in a voiceover. “I found out through the process that divorce isn’t a place where we arrive, it’s entering a new chapter in life with many nuances, and no one-size-fits-all handbook.”
