Tia Mowry Shares Keys To ‘Great’ 13-Year Marriage

Tia Mowry Shares Keys To Great 13 Year Marriage

Tia Mowry has been married to her husband Cory Hardrict since 2008 and they share two children together. Every relationship comes with its respective trials and tribulations and the couple appeared on People the TV Show! to talk about how they maintain their marriage 13 years later.

“We’ve got a loving household,” said Hardrict, 41. “We try to teach our kids if you have equality in the house, that can bleed over into the world and that’s what makes the world a better place.”

Tia added, “A lot of people, they ask Cory and I, like, ‘What makes your marriage, you know, a great marriage?’ And if I’m being really honest with you — and we’ve been doing this for years — we don’t focus on specific gender roles.”

The Hardrict family has modern family values but Tia Mowry still takes advice from the matriarchs of her family on how to raise her children.

“My mom has always taught me that actions are more important than words, especially when it comes to building your child’s character,” the Sister, Sister alum shared while discussing her partnership with Swash detergent. “Their development, their growth, teaching them about being good people, teaching them about being kind—it all starts with action. So if you’re not being kind or if they don’t see that within your behavior, then how are they going to learn?”

She continued, “I’m all about working hard. I want my kids to be that way as they get older. I want them to know that you have to work hard for what you want to achieve. My mom and my grandmother, they’ve definitely showed me that. My grandmother—she ended up passing away last year in January—but she’s left such an incredible imprint on what family is and what it means. She will always be forever in my heart.”

Tia Mowry Tearfully Recalls Getting Rejected From Teen Magazine Because She’s ‘Black and Wouldn’t Sell’

Tia Mowry Tearfully Recalls Getting Rejected From Teen Magazine Because Shes Black and Wouldnt Sell

Tia Mowry-Hardrict appeared on ET’s Unfiltered and recalled a time when she and her twin sister, Tamera Mowry, were rejected from a teenage magazine at the height of their careers because of the color of their skin.

“So my sister [Tamera] and I wanted to be on the cover of this very popular [teenage] magazine at the time,” Mowry-Hardrict recalls. “We were told that we couldn’t be on the cover of the magazine because we were Black, and we would not sell.”

Its been years later and Tia is a whole mom now, but she admits that she’ll never forget that hurtful moment. “I will never forget where I was,” she continued, “and I wish I would have spoken up. I wish I would have said something then. I wish I would have had the courage to speak out and say that wasn’t right.”

The actress spoke about her struggles with self-love growing up in Hollywood. “I would feel insecure about my hair because being young and being in this business, I never saw girls like me,” she explained. “I never saw girls that, you know, were embracing their curls, or I never saw curly hair being portrayed as beautiful.”

But Tia and Tamera have always been hair goals, and although she didn’t mention which magazine turned them down, it’s crazy to think that the outlet believed they wouldn’t sell when they had high ratings at the time.

But her experiences have shaped her to be the woman she is today, and she makes sure to feel her two beautiful brown children with words of affirmation.

“I’m always telling my beautiful brown-skinned girl that she is beautiful,” Mowry-Hardrict said, “and the same thing, even with my son. I tell him how handsome he is; I tell him, you know, he is smart. Because I know what it feels like for someone to devalue your worth, and I don’t want my children to ever, ever, ever feel that. And not have the strength, or the foundation, to not believe it. To believe that they are worthy.”
