AceShowbiz - Tia Mowry has clarified her viral comment on a preview for her new WEtv show, "Tia Mowry: My Next Act", where she expressed her wish to be closer to her twin sister, Tamera Mowry.
Speaking to Us Weekly, Tia explained that she was referring to the physical distance between them, as Tamera now lives in Napa, California, with her husband and children, while Tia resides in Los Angeles near her father and brother. The siblings' other brother, Tavior Mowry, lives in Tennessee.
"I love my sister very much. She loves me very much," Tia 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 emphasized that the distance has affected their bond, as it is no longer as easy to rely on each other as it was when they lived nearby. "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," she explained.
However, Tia stressed that her comments were not surprising given her 30+ years in the entertainment industry. "When you've been in this industry for over 30 years, things are always taken out of context and it is what it is," she said. "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."
Tia and Tamera rose to fame in the 1990s sitcom "Sister, Sister", playing separated-at-birth twins. They have since gone on to star in several other projects together, including the "Seventeen Again" and "Twitches" franchises.
