‘Y’all Done Bashed That Man, Tia Is Showing Y’all They Can be Cordial’: Tia Mowry Let’s Cory Hardrict Know She Still Loves Him In Instagram Interaction, Sparking Debate Amongst Fans

Tia Mowry and Cory Hardrict may be going through a separation, but the two still have tons of love for each other and aren’t afraid to express it.

Hardrict sent his former wife a heart emoji under her most recent Instagram photo where she expressed gratitude for the new chapter of life she’s about to step into. 

“Every book starts with a dedication page, and this one’s dedicated to you: my friends, family, and community.” 

Mowry continued, “The outpouring of love I have received from you over the last week has been so encouraging and humbling. I’m so grateful to you all. New Book, First Chapter to follow. Love, Tia [red heart]”

Hardrict’s supportive comment in response to the 41-year-old actress’s post came as a shock to some, but not to Mowry, who met her husband back with the same gentleness as she wrote, “I love you [red heart].” 

A question arose on social media about whether their interaction should be deemed as toxic, and several individuals gave their answers. 

“They have been together for 22 years. It is going to take time to heal. Not toxic”

“Not toxic, but mature. Just because you separate from someone doesn’t mean you don’t love them anymore”

“I really thought that was so sweet ‘cuz y’all done bashed that man, and Tia is showing y’all that they can be cordial”

It can be difficult letting go of a relationship of as long as 22 years, but “The Game” actress has continued to let her followers know she will be OK and is focused on falling in love with herself all over again. 

One of her recent reel videos included an audio stating, “You’re falling in love with yourself, I know you hate to admit it. There’s a lot of other people you could be falling in love with, but you’re choosing you.” 

Mowry sat on the edge of her bed with her coiled curls styled in a side-part look as a camera panned to how her white robe and shimmering skin. 

It seemed as if Mowry’s newfound energy was noticeable through the screen because many of her followers sent over messages noting how peaceful she had looked.  

“This chapter looks real good!”

“This glow is so beautiful on you Tia”

“This chapter looks really good on you, you’re glowing!”

Earlier this month, the mom of two revealed that she and the “All American:Homecoming” actor would be separating, leading many social media users to point a finger Hardrict’s way, essentially blaming him for their separation. Hardrict and Mowry’s simple Instagram interaction implies there is no bad blood between the two. 

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.
