Tia Mowry Lets Pregnant Sister Tamera Know Moms Can Still Be Cool

Welcoming her son, Cree, with husband Cory Hardrict in June 2011, the former Sister, Sisterstar tries to convince her twin — expecting her own child later this year — that being a mom doesn’t mean women can’t let loose once in a while.

“I want to go out dancing. The nanny’s coming, so I’ll have someone watching Cree,” Tia, 33, says in a preview clip from Monday’s episode of Tia & Tamera, detailing her preferred plans during the sisters’ upcoming trip to New York City.

“I don’t think I can party with you, because in my mind, you’re a mom now,” her sister replies.

Taken aback, Tia tries to convince her expectant sis that motherhood can be cool — and she’s proof positive. “Just because people are moms, it doesn’t mean their life is over,” she reasons. “They can still go out and have fun. Moms have the best fun!”

As her son prepares to celebrate his first birthday, Tia can’t even remember what her life was like before her little boy came along. I’m like, ‘Whoa, where has the time gone? He’s not this tiny little newborn anymore!” she tells Us Weekly. “I’m already missing that stage. So I can’t imagine when he’s, like, 18 and he’s going away to college — I’m going to miss him! I can’t even think about that right now.”

Tia & Tamera airs Monday at 8 p.m. (EST) on STYLE.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
