Tia Mowry and Cory Hardrict have called it quits. In Los Angeles court documents obtained by POPSUGAR, Mowry cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their surprising split. Mowry did not specify a date of separation.
The “Sister, Sister” star and Hardrict wed in 2008. They share two children, 11-year-old Cree and 4-year-old Cairo. The court documents, which were filed on Sept. 30, specify that she is asking for joint custody with Hardrict.
On Oct. 4, Mowry posted a quote on her Instagram Story that read, “Letting go can be painful. But it won’t hurt as much holding on to an illusion.”
Later, she addressed the split in an Instagram post, which a rep for Mowry directed POPSUGAR to when reached for comment. “I have always been honest with my fans, and today is no different,” Mowry wrote. “I wanted to share that Cory and I have decided to go our separate ways. 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 want to thank my friends, family and fans for your love and support as we start this new chapter moving forward in our lives.”
