Tia Mowry clarifies remarks on Tamera: “We’re Still Close.”
TV star, Tia Mowry is beloved for her close bond with twin sister Tamera Mowry. However, she recently made headlines after expressing her wish for a closer relationship with her sister. The comments were made during the trailer of her upcoming WEtv docuseries, Tia Mowry: My Next Act. However, the media frenzy that followed prompted Tia to clarify her remarks. Now, she’s emphasizing that her statement was taken out of context. Tia reassured fans that she and Tamera remain close despite the challenges that come with growing older and living separate lives.
Clarifying Her Words
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Tia explained that her comments about wishing they were still close were not meant to suggest a rift between her and Tamera. Instead, Tia was referring to the physical distance between them. Tia based is in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Tamera living in Napa with her family. This geographical separation is coupled with the demands of family life and career. As a result, it has naturally affected how often the sisters can see each other.
“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. We begin to take on new roles and responsibilities within our lives,” Tia told Us Weekly. “That is what that was all about.”
A Family Spread Across the Map
Tia elaborated that she and some of their family, including their brother Tahj Mowry and father Timothy Mowry, live in Los Angeles. However, Tamera and her family reside in Napa. The twins’ other brother, Tavior Mowry, is in Tennessee. This spread has naturally led to less frequent in-person interactions.
“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,” Tia explained. “It’s called life.”
Putting Rumors to Rest
Addressing the public reaction to her initial comments, Tia reiterated that she and Tamera still share a strong bond. “I love my sister very much. She loves me very much,” she said. “We have a closeness and a beautiful connection. But that’s what that was all about. It’s just how life unfolds, and it happens with many families.”
Tia also addressed the inevitable scrutiny that comes with being in the public eye for over 30 years. She noted that comments are often taken out of context. Additionally, she expressed that both she and Tamera remain committed to being the best versions of themselves, regardless of external perceptions. “When you’ve been in this industry for over 30 years, things are always taken out of context and it is what it is. The only thing that I can do is control my behaviors and be the best person that I could possibly be, and that’s what both of us are. We are incredible, inspiring examples, and we have been that all our lives. So, why change that now?”
Background on Tia and Tamera’s Relationship

When most think of Tia and Tamera, they think of Sister, Sister. As a result, they think of the sisters as a united front. Any time one or the other of the twins has a solo project, the other’s name comes up. This was the case when Tia Mowry starred in The Game. Initially, there were questions about Tamera.
