Tia Mowry Speaks Out After Sharing She Isn't "Close" to Twin Sister Tamera Mowry

The Sister, Sister bond between Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry Housely is still strong.

Days after raising eyebrows for insinuating a fractured relationship between her and her twin sister, Tia clarified what she meant in the now-viral moment. 

“You could hear it from me, and this is basically what I was insinuating I feel like as we grow up, we all start our own families and their children need to lean on them,” she told Us Weekly on Sept. 24. “We begin to take on new roles and responsibilities within our lives. That is what that was all about.”

She continued, “In these transitions in life, sometimes you just want a hug and you just want someone to be as accessible as they used to be, and that is not the case. It’s called life.”

Rumblings about Tia and Tamera’s current status surfaced at the Set. 20 premiere of her new WE tv docuseries Tia Mowry: My Next Act, where The Game alum discussed the changes in her life following her divorce from Cory Hardrict—one of them being the distance in her relationship with her twin sister.

"It's times like this when I feel and wish that my sister and I were still close and I could pick up the phone and call her,” the 46-year-old said in the clip released Sept. 20. "But that's just not where we are right now."

In the aftermath of the comments, fans wondered about the divide in the Sister, Sister stars bond. However, a source told E! that Tia was simply speaking about physical distance.

"The sisters are close but the quote being referenced was about their physical location,” the insider explained. “Tamera lives in Napa and Tia lives in Los Angeles."

Like Tia—along with her children Cree, 13, and Cairo, 6—her father Timothy Mowry and brother, Tahj Mowry live in Los Angeles. Tamera, her husband Adam Housley, and kids Aden, 11, and Ariah, 9, live in Napa, and the duo’s other brother, Tavior Mowry lives in Tennessee.

Tia Mowry: My Next Act chronicles Tia’s live after her public divorce from Cory—whom she was married to for 14 years. After Tia and Cory confirmed their 2022 split, Tamera publicly spoke out in support of her sister on social media and in real life.

In fact, Tamera later applauded her twin for being "a strong, strong woman."

"I am proud of her for living in her truth and not being afraid to do so," she told E! News in 2022.  "The Mowrys, we are there for her."
