‘So Cree Just Grows Overnight’: Tia Mowry’s Fashion Upload with Her Children Goes Left When Fans Zoom In on Cree’s Height   

Tia Mowry‘s children became a topic of conversation after the pair stole the show for various reasons in the actress’ fashion video.

Tia shares an 11-year-old son Cree Hardrict and a 4-year-old daughter Cairo Hardrict with her husband, Cory Hardrict.

In an Instagram post shared on Sept. 9, Tia and her children flaunted their outfits as they posed for the camera in a section of what appeared to be their home. In the clip, the “Family Reunion” star was seen wearing a zebra striped top with black waisted pants.

As for Tia’s son Cree, he wore an all-black ensemble which included a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and sneakers. At the same time, Cairo sported a white dress, a black and white plaided jacket, and dress shoes.

Throughout the recording, Tia and her children were also dancing to a remix version of Chris Brown’s “Under the Influence.”

All appears to be going well in the video until Cairo accidentally kicks off her shoe while dancing, and it hits a shocked Tia. The music briefly stops and the “Sister, Sister” star begins to laugh.

The upload then transitions to a video with Tia and Cairo finishing the dance and the 44-year-old wrapping up the video with a pose as she walks off the camera frame.

In addition to the post, Tia wrote the caption, “Y’all mind if we drop some heat today?? This is how we turn up. How about you?” As fans viewed the clip, many brought up Cairo’s shoe-kicking moment.

“I’ve had this on repeat for like seven times that shoe flip is just hilarious she is definitely your daughter… Lol.”

“How bout I knew Cairo was taking a shoe off before the end of this clip? If I remember correctly she’s a Taurus…we recognize ourselves.”

“The shoe at the end but y’all look beautiful.”

“(laughing emoji) Cairo kicking off her shoe.”

“That ending was an only Cairo moment love you guys a lot.”

Among the previous remarks, others brought up how much Cree has grown. One said, “Oh my gosh! Your son has gotten so tall!” Another wrote, “So Cree grows overnight, got it.” A third person stated, “Cree is getting so tall.”

Still independent.

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.
