It’s hard to believe Tia and Tamera Mowry are turning 48 in just a few days. The beloved actresses, known for their breakout roles in the sitcom “Sister, Sister,” have been staples in the entertainment industry for years. After wrapping up their time playing lost twins separated at birth, who were reunited years later, they went on to perform in other notable works, including “The Game,” “Instant Mom,” “Double Wedding,” “Twitches,” and “The Real.” To honor their upcoming special day, Tia, the mother of children Cree and Cairo, posted a carousel of pictures of them accompanied by an emotional caption.
In the carousel, Tia gave her nearly 13 million Instagram followers a glimpse into their lifelong bond, sharing childhood photos of them smiling in matching braids alongside snapshots of them posing on red carpets over the years. She also included more recent images of themselves spending time together, seemingly during a trip to Napa Valley.
In the photo’s caption, Tia expressed her gratitude for her sister, Tamera, and recalled some of their many highlights. “Cancer season always hits a little differently when you’re a twin,” she wrote.
“We’ve shared birthdays, bedrooms, inside jokes, dreams and more memories than I could ever fit into one post,” Tia added. “Happy early birthday to us! Wouldn’t trade the memories for anything. Here’s to 48 (???) and all the adventures still ahead of us. Love you always!”
Tamera Mowry Shows Her Love To Tia After The Latter Celebrates Their Early Birthday
Tamera replied to the photos, “Happy early birthday to us, sissy. I love you. Always!”
The twins’ fans were also moved by the pictures, considering one user wrote, “Y’all really are identical. Thank you for giving us beautiful TV [during our] childhood,” and another said, “Reliving my childhood in these pics, LOL. Time Machine me — happy early birthday.”
A third user also got in on the fun, writing, “Aww happy birthday to the most epic twin queens,” while a fourth posted, “Happy birthdayyy to the only twins ever!”
Tia Mowry Posts About Tamera Months After Saying The Pair Weren’t As Close
Tia’s post comes months after she spoke candidly about the relationship with her sister on her reality show, “Tia Mowry: My Next Act.” In the episode, Tia implied that she and Tamera weren’t in a great place after saying they hadn’t been communicating as much.
“I came into this world with a twin, and right after that, I went into a 22-year relationship, so I have never been alone in my life. It has been quite a journey,” Tia said while speaking about her divorce from Cory Hardrict. “Being alone has been the most challenging part of my divorce. 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. But that’s just not where we are right now.”
Tamera seemed to confirm the rumors weeks later when she admitted she learned of Tia’s new show with the rest of the world. She said, “Tia is living her life right now, and Tia is doing Tia.” Tamera also confirmed that she wouldn’t appear in the series either, adding, “No, she’s like, this is my story, and you know, I can only respect that.”
Tia Said The Twins Now Have A ‘Pact’
According to Tia, they didn’t have a dramatic falling out. She said their distance was due to natural life changes, such as their growing families and expansive careers. To rectify that, though, Tia said the twins made a “pact” to call each other once a week, specifically on Sundays, adding that, “… as long as we make time for each other, that’s all that really matters.”
Tia Opens Up About Her New Relationship
A previous report from The Blast details Tia’s new relationship with her boyfriend, Javone Williams—someone she described as a “teacher, artist, and reader.”
She then explained that she “manifested” her new man months after divorcing Hardrict, saying she listened to music, lit candles, and wrote down everything that she was looking for in a partner.
“I’m glad that it came around the time…because I really wouldn’t have known what I wanted three years ago. I really needed to sit in like solitude and like learn who I am first before I even figured out what it was and what it is that I want. So I did do that,” she said.
