Is Tia Mowry Regretting Her Divorce from Cory Hardrict?
So, word on the street is that Tia Mowry is feeling some major regret about divorcing Cory Hardrict. And not just that—allegedly, she’s been making moves to get back into his life. But are they actually working things out, or is this just another case of the internet running wild with rumors?
Listen, folks are saying she went back home. Yup. Packed up her purse, grabbed her water, threw on her glasses, and said, “Open the door!”
Now, let’s be real—after everything she put Cory through and how she stayed quiet while he got dragged for supposedly being a “leech,” some people feel like she’s getting a taste of her own medicine. One source even claimed that if Tia wants Cory back, she’s going to have to work for it because, apparently, he was heartbroken when she left.
At first, Tia seemed all in on the single life—posting spicy photos, talking about dating again, and letting the world know she was thriving. But now? The dating scene is looking a little rough, and suddenly, she’s reminiscing about the past. She even got a little sentimental talking about Vegas, saying:
“I used to come to Vegas a lot with Cory… When I got here, all these memories started flooding back. But I think what’s really cool is where I am now.”
Okay, but where is she now? Trying to move forward, or trying to backtrack?
For years, there have been whispers that Cory was only with Tia because she was his “safety net.” The two met in 2000 while filming Hollywood Horror, and according to Tia, she first realized she could be in love with him after he ran after her with flowers outside The Cheesecake Factory. Sweet, right?
But when the divorce news hit, people started digging into Cory’s past. Turns out, back in 2001, he was granted unemployment benefits from California—but later, the state said he wasn’t actually eligible and demanded the money back. When he didn’t pay in time, interest piled up. This had folks side-eyeing the timing of his relationship with Tia, wondering if he saw her success and made his move.
Then there’s the whole debate over whether Cory ever really loved her. Some people pointed out that in old interviews, he didn’t exactly seem… enthusiastic about their relationship.
When the divorce was finalized, Cory walked away with nothing. Tia kept the house, everything in it, airline miles, rewards points—the whole deal. They also agreed not to speak negatively about each other in front of their kids, and neither could introduce a new partner to the children unless they’d been in a committed relationship for at least six months.
But Cory didn’t go down without a fight. He challenged the divorce, disagreed with “irreconcilable differences” as the reason, and even questioned the validity of their prenup. At one point, he reportedly asked the court to determine whether Tia should continue to support him financially.
Social media ate him up over that, calling him a gold digger. And through it all, Tia stayed silent—some even say she subtly fueled the narrative against him.
So now, after everything, is Tia realizing she messed up? Or is this just another messy chapter in their story? What do y’all think—should they give it another shot, or is it too late?
A while back, Lee Hammock made a TikTok about a couple where one person was happy to split the bills while the other used manipulative tactics to avoid paying. Tia reacted to the video with eye emojis, basically co-signing the message.
Fast forward to when she filed for divorce, and she was everywhere talking about how happy and content she was. She even opened up about the exact moment she knew she didn’t want to stay married, saying she realized she needed to focus on her own happiness:
“I knew when I really started to focus on my happiness… I feel like women, we tend to focus on everybody else’s happiness—making sure that everybody else is okay, whether it’s our kids, our friends, or our family. But at the end of the day, it’s about self-love. And when you really start to work on yourself, love yourself, and know your worth, there’s this awakening.”
But now? A lot of people think she’s regretting her decision because, despite all the talk about being happy and content, she’s been posting more about loneliness and solitude.
She recently admitted:
“Therapy, journaling, spending time with myself—solitude is not a punishment. I’ve learned a lot about myself.”
She’s also been very vocal on social media about learning to embrace being alone. In one Instagram post, she shared:
“I have a confession to make. I’ve never been alone until now. For the longest time, I was always surrounded by people—whether through work, family, or even my twin. Alone time was a rare thing growing up.”
She went on to explain how she’s shifting her mindset:
“I realized that being alone wasn’t a punishment but an opportunity to recharge. Through conscious effort, I transformed these moments into a crucial part of my well-being. This shift helped me see solitude as something that refreshes my mind and spirit.”
In another post, she shared a video of herself doing different solo activities and captioned it:
“For a long time, I confused being alone with loneliness. But I’ve come to realize they are two very different things. Solitude is not a punishment—it’s a gift. In those quiet moments, you hear your inner voice and discover peace within yourself. I’m learning to truly love my own company, and this journey has been powerful.”
Even over the holidays last year, she echoed similar thoughts, admitting that being a single mom can get lonely.
Co-Parenting During the Holidays: Finding Beauty in Change
Co-parenting during the holidays is definitely a journey—one that comes with a mix of emotions. It’s different, and sometimes it can feel really tough, even lonely, especially when you’re still adjusting to a new family dynamic. But over time, I’ve learned to see the beauty in it.
For my kids, it’s a chance to have meaningful relationships with both of their parents. And for me, it’s been a space for self-discovery, healing, and even a little bit of rest. I won’t lie—being a single mom can feel heavy at times, especially when our family doesn’t look like the traditional picture. But that’s okay. Different doesn’t mean less than. The most important thing is keeping our traditions alive because, no matter what, we are still family.
Is Tia Trying to Reconcile with Corey?
If you’ve been following Tia’s reality show, you might’ve noticed that Corey’s name kept popping up—sometimes in ways that made it seem like she wanted to get back together. But according to reports, Corey has moved on, even though he admitted that their divorce hit him hard.
He opened up about just how painful the experience was:
“It’s tough when you feel like you’re going through something alone, like nobody understands or is really there for you. People assume you’re strong, especially as a Black man. But I cried myself to sleep every night for a year and a half. Nobody sees that.”
He also talked about how difficult it was living just five minutes away from his kids but still feeling the weight of the separation. If you know Corey, you know his kids and family have always meant everything to him.
Even through the pain, he found his strength:
“I’m stronger than I thought I was.”
Career Wins and Moving Forward
There have been rumors that Tia actually went back to Corey and begged to get back together. Whether that’s true or not, one thing is certain—Corey has been thriving. He’s been booked and busy, and his career is taking off in a big way.
His role in Divorce in the Black turned out to be his biggest payday yet, something he says changed the course of his career. When asked if this paycheck set a new standard for him, Corey made it clear:
“I love Mr. Tyler Perry. We’re working on something else together, but I can’t say too much yet. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had on a film. He really takes care of his actors, and it’s such a loving set. So, big shoutout to Mr. Perry—y’all need to stop playing with that man!”
Should Corey Take Tia Back?
It’s no secret that family has always been Corey’s top priority, but should he consider getting back with Tia after everything that happened? Was it fair for her to stay silent while he was getting dragged for supposedly being in the marriage for money?
If they really are back together, hopefully, this time, Tia stays off social media—because that whole situation was messy.
What do you think? Should Corey give Tia another chance, or is it time to move on for good? Let’s talk about it in the comments.
