Cory Hardrict Denies ‘Irreconcilable Differences’ Claims, May Seek Spousal Support Amid Divorce from Estranged Wife Tia Mowry

When actress Tia Mowry announced her divorce from estranged husband Cory Hardrict, it appeared that it would proceed swiftly, given the “Sister, Sister” star had requested joint custody and that any rights to spousal support be terminated for both her and Hardrict. However, the “All American” actor is now questioning the validity of that agreement, a new report claims. 

According to court documents obtained by media outlet RadarOnline, the 43-year-old recently responded after being served by his wife of 14 years in October, denying that “irreconcilable differences” played a role in the demise of his marriage. 

His lawyer noted in the response that Hardrict wanted the court to determine “the validity of the prenuptial agreement dated April 14, 2008, and/or that any provisions are unconscionable.”

The “Brotherly Love” actor agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their two children,  11-year-old Cree Hardrict, and 4-year-old Cairo Tiahna Hardrict. However, while he asked the court to terminate his ex-wife’s right to spousal support, he did not determine whether he’d seek spousal support by leaving the boxes unchecked on the paperwork.

This comes just days after Mowry revealed that she was “excited” about spending the holidays with Hardrict, noting that they’re still a family despite no longer being romantically connected. “Family is family no matter what happens, and that’s what’s important to me. So, we will always be family,” she told TMZ reporters who ran into her while leaving the gym earlier this month. 

Hardrict had remained relatively silent about his marriage dealings until last November when he uploaded a video of him driving silently while listening to Nas’ latest release, “Reminisce,” from his album “King’s Disease III.”

The song’s lyrics appear to be a message on how the seasoned actor was feeling at the moment with recent events with lyrics including, “Reminisce. Relationships ain’t the prettiest. I was stuck on the silliness. Was it love that I was really in? We don’t know until it really end, but then it’s too late. Reminisce.” 

It came as Mowry caught heat from fans for her comments about their divorce and other seemingly shady online behaviors.

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.
