‘You Can Tell Cairo Is The Boss In That House’: Tia Mowry’s Video of Daughter Cairo Has Fans Pointing Out All of the 4-Year-Old’s Antics

Tia Mowry has fans cracking up after a video of her daughter, Cairo. Like many other moms, the actress celebrated National Daughter’s Day over the weekend with a throwback video on Instagram.

The “Family Reunion” star gave her 10 million followers a glimpse inside the world that revolves around the 4-year-old she shares with her actor husband Cory Hardrict.

“Cairo-isms!! This girl is my world and she’s a hot mess…y’all see the way she sneaks chocolate in the kitchen??” she wrote in the caption. “God, I love being her mom. Happy #NationalDaughterDay to my mini-me!!”

Mowry’s video was filled with adorable moments featuring the mother-daughter duo. There are clips of Cairo rocking her mom’s heels and repeating Mowry’s favorite phrase, “Hey girl, hey.”

“Say yummy?” Mowry asked Cairo who, replied, “No,” with a straight face. She continued, “I’m going to say mhmm.”

There are also takes of the two twirling in dresses, while her son, Cree, joins the pair in the kitchen for snacks in another clip.

“Cairo, you look so pretty,” said Mowry gushing over her daughter wearing a pretty blue and white dress. Cairo jumped up and down yelling, “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Towards the end of the video, Mowry also made fun of her daughter’s character voice, which she describes as “high-pitched.”

“See ya later mom,” said Cairo as she went up the stairs while mom finished a photo shoot. “But that’s her regular voice,” added Mowry.

Fans in the comments are cracking up over Cairo’s outgoing personality. Many wondered how Mowry deals with her big personality at home, while others commented on her other antics. However, most agreed, “Cairo is always a mood.” Here’s what others had to say.

“You can tell Cairo is the boss in that house. She has you all wrapped around her little finger.”

“It’s the “see you later mom” for me.”

“She’s so cute, so much personality.”

“That’s where is starts!!! With the heels.”

“Cairo!!!! She is her mother’s daughter!!!”

One fan brought up actress and reality star Kenya Moore, who took two twirls before declaring herself as “Gone With The Wind and fabulous” during season 5 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

“Twirling like cousin @kenya,” they wrote referring to Moore’s role as Mowry’s play cousin on the Netflix’s “Family Reunion.”

Fans continued in the comments doting over the Cairo-filled video, with a few noting her resemblance to her brother Cree.

One said, “This was such a cute video. I’m curious to see her personality as she gets older!” Another wrote, “She’s looking more like Cree, beautiful children Tia.

One final commentator said, “Such a beautiful family!”

On Tuesday, Tia and Cory announced that they were divorcing after 22 years together. The former couple is reportedly asking for joint physical and legal custody of their kids.

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.
