Tia Mowry recently addressed why her twin sister, Tamera Mowry-Housley, was left in the dark about her new reality show, Tia Mowry: My Next Act, which premiered earlier this month on AMC Network’s Wetv. Tia’s decision to not share the news with her sister raised eyebrows, but the actress insists there was no hidden agenda behind it.
“That’s normal. I mean, do you tell your brother and your sister everything?” Tia told a reporter, downplaying the situation. She added, “It doesn’t mean anything. There’s nothing loaded. She’s living her life, I’m living my life. We don’t have to tell each other everything and that’s very normal.”
Physical Distance, Not Emotional for Tia Mowry and Twin Sister Tamera
While many speculated that the sisters’ relationship may be strained, Tia was quick to clarify. During an interview with US Weekly, she explained that her comments were more about physical separation than emotional distance. Tia resides in Los Angeles, while Tamera lives 400 miles away in Napa Valley.
Tia elaborated, “I feel like as we grow up, we all start our own families and their children need to lean on them. We begin to take on new roles and responsibilities within our lives.” She continued, “I love my sister very much. She loves me very much. We have a closeness and a beautiful connection.”
In Tia Mowry: My Next Act, Tia even mentioned how she wishes she were “still close” to Tamera. “I could pick up the phone and call her, but that’s just not where we are right now,” she shared in a candid moment on the show.
Tamera’s Reaction
When asked by reporters, Tamera responded positively, saying, “Tia is living her life right now and Tia is doing Tia.” However, she admitted she didn’t know about the show until it was made public, saying, “I didn’t know until I found out with the rest of the world.”
As for whether she’d appear on the show, Tamera joked, “She didn’t ask me. So I take that as no!”
Though the twins may not be as close as they once were, they both emphasize that their bond remains strong despite life’s changes.
