Tia Mowry announced on social media on Tuesday that she and husband Cory Hardrict are divorcing.
“I wanted to share that Cory and I have decided to go our separate ways,” the ‘The Game’ actress wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of herself and Hardrict. “I have always been honest with my fans, and today is no different. These decisions are never easy, and not without sadness. We will maintain a friendship as we co-parent our beautiful children. I am grateful for all the happy times we had together and I want to thank my friends, family and fans for your love and support as we begin this new chapter moving forward in our lives.
CNN has reached out to Hardic’s rep for comment.
A petition for dissolution of marriage filed by Mowry and obtained by CNN cited “irreconcilable differences” as grounds for divorce.
The actor stars in the CW series “All American: Homecoming” and has appeared in several films, including “American Sniper.”
He spoke to Global Grind in 2015 about how he and Mowry met on the set of “Hollywood Horror” and got to know each other better after spotting him at a bus stop.
“She and her sister drove by, saw me waiting and asked to drive me,” he said. “They took me away and we’ve been friends ever since.”
Hardrict explained that he was a struggling actor at the time, working odd jobs and “at Kmart during the cemetery shift for security.”
“I was just working, I met my wife around that time and she was with me when she came out of [the popular television show] ‘Sister, Sister’ [which costarred her twin Tamera Mowry],” he said. “They had everything, man and I had nothing. I had a studio, sleeping in a corner with no furniture for almost two years.
The couple dated for six years and married in 2008. They are parents to son Cree, 11, and daughter Cairo, 4.
