Tia Mowry Renews Vows after 13 Years With Cory Hadrict

Tia Mowry and Cory Hadrict decided to renew their vows after five years of marriage and 13 years of being in love.

The adorable couple renews their vows on Saturday (April 13) in Malibu, Calif.

According to US Weekly, the ceremony was an all white affair inspired by the little man in Tia’s life:

The couple, who first tied the knot nearly five years ago, on April 20, 2008, wore white for the happy occasion — and had their guests follow suit. The pair have a young on, 21-month-old Cree, together.

“Cree was my motivation and inspiration to renew our vows,” Mowry told Us Weekly. “Cory and I have been together for 13 years and married for five. However, we now have this new miracle in our lives and I wanted to celebrate our love, and what our love together created — Cree!”

The small ceremony — which only consisted of 20 or so guests — was “magical, intimate and beautiful,” Mowry added. Twin sister Tamera and 5-month-old son Aden (with husband Adam Houseley) were also on-hand to celebrate with the couple.

While the Sister, Sister star is happy to be celebrating many years together with Cory Hadrict, the moment was bitter sweet.

It reminded the twin actress that her little boy was growing up and she was already missing the stage of him being a newborn.

“Cree is almost 1 and time has definitely flung by,” she told Us during a visit to Us Weekly’s NYC offices. “I’m like, ‘Whoa, where has the time gone? He’s not this tiny little newborn anymore!'”

“And 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!” she continued. “I can’t even think about that right now.”

Lucky for the new mommy, there is almost two decades separating her from that time in little Cree’s life. For now, she should be preparing to handle the “terrible two” phase.

Either way, congratulations Tia and Cory!

 

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.
