‘It’s Always the Husband’: Tia Mowry’s Family Video Derails When Fans Point Out Cory’s Look 

Tia Mowry‘s fashion video featuring her family on Monday, Oct. 18, went left when fans zoomed in on the attire of her husband, Cory Hardrict.

The actor was singled out because he didn’t quite follow the all-black memo everyone was wearing.

Tia, Cory, and their two children, Cree Hardrict, 10, and 3-year-old Cairo Hardrict, were seen in the hallway modeling their outfits in the recording. Things began to take a turn in the transitional video after Cory appeared on-screen. The 41-year-old was wearing green sweats, along with a blue jean jacket and black hat, while his family dressed formally.

When Tia posted the clip, she didn’t disclose an exact reason behind it, other than her family fashionably stepping into the week. She said, “How The Hardrict’s step into Monday. How about ya’ll?” As her followers began to view the upload, many jokingly called out Cory for not following the dress code. One even asked if he wasn’t informed about the required outfits.

“Cory said I’ll do the video but I ain’t getting dressed!!!!”

“It’s always the husband gotta be the one.”

“Did her hubby not get the memo?”

“Cory did not understand the assignment.”

“Cory the type to not comply with the dress code, but be in every pic!
Beautiful Family tho.”

In addition to the Cory remarks, a couple of people brought up Cairo and how happy she looked to participate in the challenge. One wrote, “Cairo was finally excited about this one! Lol.” Another said,”It’s the Baby for me!”

Last year, Tia admitted to PEOPLE magazine that the one thing that has worked for her family, including her relationship with Cory, is that they never followed trends and did what they felt was right to them.

She said, “The thing I value the most about our relationship is that we never follow trends. We’ve never followed what other people thought we should’ve been doing, we’ve always followed what was right for us.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
