Tia Mowry decided to take a break from dating.

The actress revealed that some of the people she has dated since her divorce from Cory Hardrict seemed to have an “infatuation with her growing up on Sister, Sister.”  In a recent interview, she said, “I put a little bit of a pause on dating at the moment because you don’t really know why someone is dating you.”

Mowry continued, “When it becomes very clear on why someone is dating you through their behaviors, it’s disappointing.” She added, “I’ve realized that some people are attracted because there was some sort of infatuation growing up you know, ‘Oh this is the girl from Sister, Sister.’ it’s like, ‘Nah. I want you to know me and love me when the makeup comes off.” 

She went on to explain what she is looking for in a relationship and a partner. “There has to be awareness of their traumas and triggers. They have to have emotional intelligence, kindness, accountability, and love for oneself.”

Tia also talked about the importance of therapy and working on growth being her non-negotiables. Tia Mowry and Cory Hardict finalized their divorce in April 2023 after being married for 14 years. They share two children.
