Tia Mowry Sets the Record Straight on Relationship With Sister Tamera Mowry

Not to worry, Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry still have sibling synchronicity.

After the My Next Act star previously shared that she wasn't "close" to her twin sister in a teaser for her upcoming reality show on WeTV, Tia is setting the record straight.

"It was more about proximity," she told E! News in an exclusive interview, "and as siblings, we all grow up and we get married, we have kids. We take on different roles and responsibilities in life. And she's the wife, she's the mother. I'm a mother. My brother Tavior [Mowry] is a husband and a father."

"And there are amazing, beautiful people leaning on them," she added, "What I meant by that is we as siblings are not as accessible to one another, and that is beautiful and challenging at the same time. And when you watch the series, you'll see that the spotlight that I want to put is also on the power of chosen family."

As the Family Reunion star noted, loved ones can’t always be physically by each other’s sides.

"Family is amazing, and support from family is amazing, but unfortunately, is not always accessible as we get older," Tia shared, “and that's why friends and sisterhood is just as important and community, and that is what I want to spotlight, and that is what I meant by that."

And as for Tamera's reaction to all the chatter surrounding their relationship?

"I don't want to speak on behalf of my sister, but there's nothing to say, you know what I mean?" Tia explained. "We're in this this industry, we're in this business, and we all know that it's very normal for people to take things out of context, and it's a part of our life, and it is what it is. But that's all okay."

For Tia, who shares kids Cree, 13, and Cairo, 6, with ex Cory Hardrict, her next chapter is all about showcasing change and the many transitions that she's faced. As the Sister, Sister alum, who filed for divorce in October 2022, she noted that change could be "really scary, but also beautiful."

"I just want to inspire and to encourage people that whenever you're going through some sort of transition in life, whether it's changing a job, moving cities, making transitions when it comes to a partner, you're not alone," she told E! of her reality show. "I felt alone and I didn't know what to do. I didn't know where to start. And I feel like change is something that happens to everyone. It's just a part of life."

It's a precedent she's more than eager to set.

"You hear the stories of change," Tia shared. "You hear maybe even people get in another relationship or partnership, and I feel like that's A to Z, but you don't see what happens in between that. Like, how does one move through that?"

"And if I could help anyone you know, then why not?" she continued. "I think for me, it's all about using my platform to inspire."

Tia Mowry: My Next Act will premiere on WeTV on Friday, Oct. 4.
