AceShowbiz - Tia Mowry opens up about her relationship with twin sister Tamera Mowry ahead of her new reality TV show "Tia Mowry: My Next Act". After raising eyebrows with her statement that she's no longer close with Tamera, Tia offers details about their current situationship.
Speaking to PEOPLE, Tia says, "You start as siblings in a household and a family, and as we grow up and start our own families." She continues, "It is very normal for all of us to take on new roles and responsibilities when it comes to our life."
"My sister has a family of her own...I guess what I'm saying is it's normal. It's very natural for us to create lives for ourselves," she adds.
Tia, who rose to fame through "Sister, Sister" with Tamera, further notes that "there's so much love" between them despite their distance. "There's this beautiful bonding connection that we have that will never leave. My sister and I have always been women of inspiration, and we will continue to. And why would that change now?"
"I think we've shown who we are as people and our integrity," Tia shares. Of the distance between them now, she says, "It's just a part of life. People have started to create their own families. It is what it is and that's okay. There's no hard feelings."
Tia also addressed her remarks in her show's recent trailer, in which she said she wished she and her sister Tamera were "still close." She clarified, "I'm just wanting a hug, you know what I mean? That's what I'm referring to."
The actress additionally explains why she decides to do the reality TV show. "For me, it's never been about fame for me. It's been about inspiring, encouraging, and really having some purpose," she shares.
Referring to her divorce from actor Cory Hardict, the 46-year-old continues, "I decided to do this show mainly because as I was going through this transition in my life, I felt very alone. I didn't see any representation when it came to women being vulnerable and open about this process and this journey. And I didn't want anyone to feel alone and the way I felt."
