‘You Pushed Her Out But That Definitely Tahj’s Offspring’: Fans Can’t Believe How Much Tahj Mowry and His Niece Cairo Look Alike

Fans are taken back after noticing how much Tia Mowry’s 3-year-old daughter, Cairo, looks like her uncle, Tahj Mowry. The “Family Reunion” star flaunted their resemblance by sharing a collage of photos and videos on Instagram Tuesday, April 5.

“Cairo and Tahj Mowry are similar in more ways than I can count. Don’t you guys see the crazy resemblance between them?” she wrote in the caption.

Many mentioned how cute Cairo and Tahj both looked, calling the uncle-niece duo “twins.”

“This whole post has me DEADT. You really birthed Tahj all over again.”

“Did you hate him during your pregnancy? Lol cause baby girl looking like your niece instead of his.”

“Yes, they are definitely twins 😂😍 I knew she looked like someeeeebody! It’s her unc lol.

“Omg yessss. You pushed her out but that definitely Taj’s offspring.”

“The Mowry’s have strong genes.”

Fans agreed that Cairo favored her 35-year-old uncle. One person said, “Oh wow, yess! I never noticed until now how much she looks like Unc Unc awwwwww ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

Many couldn’t take their eyes off Cairo’s face, including one who said, “Cairo’s face expressions take me out 😭😭😭.” The sixth clip Tia shared is a video of Cairo appearing to give someone the side-eye. She had the same look her uncle Tahj had on his face during a scene from his hit series “Smart Guy.”

One person wrote, “The 6th slide… she’s a whole mood!” Another said, “Definitely uncle’s twin.” Still, fans couldn’t help but give the final credit to Cairo’s mom and dad.

A fan wrote, “Cairo & Tahj look alike but Cory. There’s some Tia in there too.”

“The side-eye is killing me, but yes! She looks so much like Tahj and Corey at the same time,” added another.

Tia shares her daughter Cairo with her husband, Cory Hardrict. The couple, who also share a 10-year-old son, Cree, will celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary later this month, on April 20.

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.
