Since “Sister, Sister,” Tia and Tamera have continued working in television and film. Reflecting on their longevity in the industry during a 2011 interview, Tamera credited their grounded upbringing.
Their parents, who were not in the entertainment business, prioritized values over fame. “They always taught us that acting is just a job. You’re not better than anyone else,” Tamera explained, emphasizing that this perspective helped her balance life and career.

The famous twins’ strong family values shaped their careers and deepened their appreciation for the opportunities they received. Tia, in particular, has never forgotten how “Sister, Sister” changed her life.
In an April 2024 interview, after celebrating the show’s 30th anniversary, she described the first episode as “a dream come true.” For the actress, having her childhood aspirations come to life at such a young age was both “amazing and wonderful.”

Securing the rights proved challenging, which ultimately delayed progress. With Tia and Tamera committed to other opportunities, the cookbook author admitted it’s disappointing that the revival is on hold.
Announcing the split on Instagram, she expressed gratitude for their happy moments and emphasized their commitment to maintaining a friendship while co-parenting.
She reflected on how quickly time had passed, marveling at the young man he was becoming, “I am just endlessly proud of him, and even though he tries to act grown, he’ll always be my baby! Love you, Cree.”
Her joy in motherhood continued to shine when she celebrated Cairo’s third birthday in May 2021. Sharing a montage of her daughter over the years, Tia acknowledged the challenges of having children, admitting it “was never easy,” and that’s why she waited before trying again.
The loving parent’s deep appreciation for motherhood continued the following month when she shared a moment on Instagram. Posting a photo of the first time she held Cairo, she called being a mother her “greatest accomplishment.”
Tia continues to navigate being a parent with honesty and openness following her divorce. At the premiere of her new WE TV series, “Tia Mowry: My Next Act,” she posted a touching moment from the first episode where Cairo gave her a “worry doll” to ease her concerns.
Tia embraces her role as a single mother by focusing on being present. She explained in another interview that she often feels in “survival mode,” balancing the many demands of parenting.
This commitment is clear in the moments she shares with her kids. In an Instagram post, she posted a photo of herself with her children, sparking heartfelt reactions from her followers.
Balancing motherhood and personal growth, Tia embraced the possibility of love again. In “Tia Mowry: My Next Act” — a series about her fearless journey of self-discovery — she stepped back into the dating world with a blind date.
While Tia explores new chapters as a single mother, Tamera continues to enjoy her marriage to journalist Adam Housley, whom she wed in 2011. After 13 years of marriage, Tamera shared in an interview that communication has become more intuitive, allowing them to understand each other easily.
While it was simpler to guide them when they were younger, today’s world presents new concerns. Tamera emphasized the importance of safeguarding their mental well-being, especially with the difficulties her kids face that didn’t exist during her childhood.
She revealed that his eye color runs in the family as her uncle and grandfather on her dad’s side have blue eyes, including Aden’s uncle Arik and grandfather Art from Adam’s side. Tamera affectionately admitted, “Those eyes get me every time.”
Tamera’s love for her son, born in November 2012, remains evident. In November 2021, she honored Aden’s 9th birthday with a tribute.
Tamera’s devotion to her children shows in how she celebrates their milestones. In July 2021, she honored her daughter Ariah’s 7th birthday with an Instagram post and a touching montage.
In May 2024, she shared her appreciation for motherhood in a touching Mother’s Day post. Alongside family photos, she acknowledged the joy and fulfillment her children bring despite the challenges. They have given her a new perspective on life and inspired her to be a positive role model.
This reunion is especially meaningful after the time they spent six months apart during the COVID-19 pandemic. When questions arose in 2024 about the distance between the sisters, Tia explained that life changes and growing families have naturally shaped their paths.
Tia and Tamera Mowry’s journeys through motherhood, personal growth, and evolving family dynamics highlight their enduring bond. Despite life’s changes, the love and connection between the sisters remain a constant source of strength and inspiration.
