Tia Mowry has revealed that the bond between her and her twin sister Tamera Mowry is no longer as close as it used to be.
In a new teaser for her upcoming reality series My Next Act, the 46-year-old actress discussed her post-divorce struggles after leaving ex-husband Cory Hardrict.
When she dropped off her six-year-old daughter Cairo to spend time with her father, she burst into tears.
“Being alone has been the hardest part of my divorce. It’s times like this where I feel and wish that my sister and I were still close and that I could pick up the phone and call her,” she shared in an interview making her confession, adding, “But that’s just not where we are right now.”
The star, who rose to fame in the late ’90s playing Tamera on the sitcom Sister Sister, didn’t explain what drives the wedge between her and her identical sibling.

Elsewhere in the segment from her show, which premieres October 4 on We TV, Tia opens up about her and her ex Cory’s first red carpet meeting after their split.
While attending the Essence Black Women In Hollywood Awards event last March, the two awkwardly bumped into each other.
Footage from the scene shows the ex-spouses hesitating for a moment, unsure whether to hug or shake hands.
Tia, who has a 13-year-old son Cree with her ex, as well as Cairo, called the ordeal “exhausting.”
“It was taken out of context and it went viral,” she said of the brief reunion.
“People are so eager to know what happened and why it happened that they try to create a story in their own head and then put it out there,” she said of fan speculation.
The mother of two said the rumors about her divorce were making her “mentally ill.”
After filing for divorce in October 2022, Mowry returns to dating in the new series.

Tia filed for divorce from actor Cory in October 2022; in March 2023, Hardrict shared a photo of them amicably reunited with their children.
Meanwhile, Tia’s sister Tamera is happily married to her husband Adam Housley, 53, a journalist and winemaker from Napa, California.
The two married in 2011 and have a son Aden, 11, and a daughter Ariah, 9.
To celebrate her children’s first day of school earlier this month, the proud mom posted a photo of them on Instagram.
In a caption to her nearly 12 million followers, Tamera wrote, “First day of school vibes! Aden is going into 6th grade and Ariah is starting 4th grade – where does the time go? I’m so excited but wow they grow up so fast. Who else gets these feelings this time of year?”
