“You know I’ve never dated. Cory was my first…everything,” Tia said as Essence responded, “That’s right, you haven’t!”
In a confessional Tia said, “I wasn’t even allowed to date until I was 18 years old. I met Cory when I turned 20 and I lost my virginity at 25. There, I said it! And then we got married! Boom!”
Later in the episode, Tia said that she was scared to leave her marriage, but admitted that she had grown frustrated having to put on a happy face in public, but feeling “alone” behind closed doors.
“I got tired of showing up at events and people thinking that everything was perfect and it wasn’t,” Tia said. “I’d go home and feel alone.”
“My persona as a celebrity is kinda the girl next door — the white picket fence — and what I didn’t show was what was really going on in my marriage,” she continued. “Maybe I was trying to live a fantasy.”
Tia and Cory split in 2023 after 15 years of marriage. Together, they share son Cree, 13, and daughter Cairo, 6.
If you missed it, Tia recently clarified her comments after saying she and twin sister Tamera Mowry-Housley aren’t “close” anymore.
