‘Cory Gets the Side-Eye’: Tia Mowry Fans Call Out Her Husband Cory After the Two Participate In a Game of Questions

Tia Mowry and Cory Hardrict are the latest to participate in the viral “Couples Challenge” on TikTok. While sitting side by side in a video shared on Valentine’s Day, Mowry and her husband of 13 years answered questions about their relationship by pointing to each other.

Mowry also shared the video on Instagram. The couple both agreed that Mowry is the funniest and most romantic. But they disagreed on questions about who was more patient and who had better skills in the kitchen.

When asked who was the better cook, Mowry and Cory each picked themself, leaving fans puzzled in the comments.

“His answer for who’s the better cook’ and your reaction took me out,” wrote one person about Mowry’s shocking face in the comments. Another said, “Too cute but Cory gets the side-eye with that cooking answer.”

Mowry has released two books from her compilation, “Quick Fix Kitchen,” and hosts the weekly YouTube show “Tia Mowry’s Quick Fix.” However, the jury on Hardrict’s skills is still out. Many felt they needed to face off in a cooking competition, including one who wrote, “We need an Instagram LIVE ‘cook off’ to see who’s the better cook. Lol.”

Another commentator added, “I’m surprised Cory takes longer to get ready….but what really gets me, is Cory saying he’s the better cook…..I love this.”

Many were shocked to learn Hardrict takes longer than the “Family Reunion” star to get ready. “I honestly would’ve thought Tia takes longer getting ready,” wrote one person.

Another added, “Wait, Cory, how long does it take you to get ready because Tia be over there making Tik Toks so I understand.”

TikTok is another platform where Tia Mowry goes viral for her fashionable reels. Hardrict also appeared in Mowry’s rendition of the viral “The Drop Challenge” featuring the couple’s 10-year-old son Cree and 3-year-old daughter Cairo.

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.
