Tia Mowry has been open about her divorce from Cory Hardrict since filing in 2022. Now, she's sharing how making that decision is a "great lesson" for her kids. The former pair share 11-year-old son Cree and 5-year-old daughter Cairo. They split after 14 years of marriage.
"A part of my decision was also for them," she shared on Today. "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. It was one of the hardest decisions that I had ever had to make in my entire life. But if they see that mommy can do it, that mommy, no matter what people say, no matter, even if there’s some sort of doubt, whatever, mommy pushed through. [They can say] my mommy is living and chasing her truth. I want my children to do that."
"That’s the best gift I can give them," she continued. "I want for them not to live a life that I want them to live, for them not to live a life that everybody else wants them to live or what they think that they should be or live. I want them to see that it is OK to have a bad day. I want them to see that it is OK to chase your joy. I want them to see that it is OK to live your truth."
