‘Baby Number 3 Coming Soon?!’: Tia Mowry-Hardrict’s Fun Family Pic Sparks Hubbub When Fans Notice the Actress’s Pregnancy Tests on the Bathroom Floor

Tia Mowry-Hardrict is all anyone can talk about right now, mostly because she’s proudly flaunting her 65-pound weight loss on social media and partially because she recently revealed that she has a slew of pregnancy tests in her home.

Tia shared a fun family photo on Instagram, where her 2-year-old daughter Cairo Hardrict was seen putting panty liners on her father Cory Hardrict‘s body. Taken from the side, the image showed Cory patiently sitting in a chair in their master bathroom as their baby girl was decorating his knee and arms with the feminine hygiene product. Aside from the panty liners, fans were also able to see the tampons, sanitary napkins, and pregnancy tests spread out across the bathroom floor.

“You guys! She’s moved on to daddy from the shower!” Tia captioned the Wednesday, Aug. 19 image. “We are still practicing #quarantine and she’s still playing with her #stickers. The stuff #dads will do for their #daughters 🤣🤣 oh #cairo.”

People instantly reacted to the photo and flooded Tia’s comments section with quips like “Baby number 3 coming soon?!😍” and “That’s a lot of pregnancy tests on the floor👀.” Somebody else asked underneath the photo, “Are we just gonna ignore all the pregnancy tests on the floor 👀,” followed by a fourth fan who mentioned, “It’s the pregnancy test on the floor for me 😭.”

This isn’t the first time Cairo played with panty liners during her shelter-in-place days. Toward the end of April, the toddler put the products on her family’s glass shower doors. The 42-year-old actress allowed her to decorate their bathroom because she wanted to keep her busy. Aside from Cairo, Tia and her husband Cory also share their 9-year-old son Cree Hardrict. With two children in the mix, Tia hinted in a 2019 interview with US Weekly that she wasn’t sure if she wanted to have another baby.

“I think I need therapy to figure out if I want another one or not,” she said. “Some days I want to have another one, and then other days I’m like, ‘Are you crazy?’ I was actually talking to one of my girlfriends and I was like, ‘You know what? I want to have another baby, is that crazy?’”

The “Sister, Sister” star then went on to reveal the advice her friend gave to her. “Our pregnancies were really difficult, and she said, ‘Tia, yes — you are crazy. I know you love a challenge and that’s probably why you want another child, but go run a marathon or something! Focus that energy somewhere else,’” she recalled.

Despite her friend’s advice, the actress remains unsure about having a third child. “I really have to figure this out,” she added. “I don’t know what’s tugging, you know what I mean? I don’t know.”

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.
