As people continue to try and unpack what happened between Tia Mowry and Cory Hardrict; fans are revisiting old interviews and conversations that may point to existing issues within their marriage.
After 14 years together, Tia and Cory definitely weathered their fair share of struggles. Let’s take a look back at some of the things they went through and how Tia supported Cory through his struggles as an up-and-coming actor.
Tia Mowry met Cory Hardrict back in 2000 while they filmed the movie Hollywood Horror. She and her twin Tamara were driving home when they saw him at the bus stop. The twins offered him a ride back to Inglewood and remained friends. Cory was a struggling actor at the time, working hard to make ends meet. He recalled having a studio apartment and working odd jobs with no money.
Tia was not really focused on boys at the time, admitting later that she did not even lose her virginity till her mid-20s. Instead, the pair became friends and spent a year courting each other. This meant that they were not physical or intimate and seldom went on dates alone, opting to be in areas full of people.
Hardrict remembers being “dirt poor” with only two pairs of drawers to his name when he began dating Tia. He says that he knew she was the one because she supported him through this time and saw his potential in him. “She loved me for me,” he recalls.
