When Tia Mowry and her husband, who had been together for 14 years, suddenly announced their divorce after months of speculation, it felt like the pieces of the puzzle were finally falling into place. It seems like there’s more to the story than meets the eye, perhaps even a case of a husband who didn’t live up to expectations. Did Corey really subject Tia to emotional distress, leading her to call it quits? And is he now earnestly pleading for her forgiveness and a chance to make things right? The whole situation is dripping with drama.
“He met me at my lowest point in Cali when I got out there. I didn’t have anything, and she, you know, gave me that ride home on a bus stop.” These were the words spoken before Tia and Corey parted ways. The truth came out with a simple black and white photo of them, accompanied by Corey’s heartfelt Instagram post announcing their split due to irreconcilable differences. Tia’s caption was equally poignant, expressing the difficulty of their decision and their commitment to co-parenting their children while remaining friends.
Initially, many speculated about Corey’s infidelity, but he swiftly shut down those rumors on Instagram. When accused of cheating on Tia, Corey firmly responded with a simple “Lies.” Nevertheless, the divorce came as a shock to many, as Tia and Corey had always portrayed themselves as the epitome of marital bliss. Just a week before the announcement, Tia reminisced about their trip to Italy in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, painting a picture of happiness and togetherness.
The sudden revelation of their split left fans and followers reeling with disbelief, questioning the facade of perfection they had presented to the world.
But there was another group of people who weren’t surprised at all; some even claimed they saw the warning signs in Corey and Tia’s marriage right from the start, predicting it would eventually end in divorce. Clips of Corey and Tia began to circulate, showing Corey appearing distant and irritated whenever Tia tried to communicate. “Everything’s not perfect, you know, marriage is worth, and that’s marriage is. Go ahead, sorry. I love you too, today, yeah. Even though she gets on my damn nerves, you get on my damn nerves. But that’s a part of her relationship, you know, I think we’re very realistic.” It seemed like Tia was the one putting in all the effort while Corey just sat back and watched. In an interview after their divorce, Tia described the split as a wake-up call, expressing relief after ending her toxic marriage and focusing on herself. “But you and your husband, like a lot of couples, decided that it was better to be lived your life, I’ve better lived apart than together. Yes, yes, um, how did you know that it was time? That’s a really good question. Um, I knew when I really started to focus on my happiness. I feel like women, we tend to focus on everybody else’s happiness, making sure that everybody else is okay, meaning our children, yeah, meaning, you know, our children, our friends, our, you know, family. But at the end of the day, it’s about self-love. And when you start to really work on yourself, love yourself, know your value, know your worth, and then all of a sudden there’s this Awakening.” At the beginning of the divorce process
Tia made efforts to keep things understated, dropping subtle hints now and then. Despite filing for divorce a few months earlier, she casually mentioned to TMZ her plans to spend Christmas with Corey and the kids, giving off the vibe that everything was amicable between them. “Planning on spending the holidays, maybe with Corey?” the reporter asked. “Yes, we are. We’re really excited about it. I believe in family, no matter what happens, so that’s what’s important to me. We’ll always be family.” But Corey seemed to have other ideas. Reports surfaced suggesting he was after Tia’s money. Yep, you heard it right. Corey seemed to be eyeing Tia’s finances, making a messy divorce even messier by challenging the prenup they signed back in 2008. Despite Tia citing irreconcilable differences as the cause of their split, Corey denied it in court documents obtained by Radar Online. He even asked the court to deny Tia’s right to spousal support, something she hadn’t even requested. And shockingly, he left blank the box asking if he himself was seeking spousal support. It seemed Corey was solely focused on his financial gain. As if things couldn’t get any worse, Radar Online also reported that Corey and his legal team were now questioning the validity of the prenup, demanding changes. Corey’s actions seemed to paint him as greedy and financially driven, leaving many wondering about his true motives.
Corey’s recent behavior isn’t exactly shocking. Just a few months ago, Tia openly reacted with side-eye emojis on a post discussing partners who dodge financial responsibilities and get defensive when called out. There were already whispers about Corey’s financial struggles possibly contributing to their divorce, but Tia’s public reaction took many by surprise. Fans speculate it played a significant role in their split.
Corey, a struggling actor with little financial stability when he met Tia, leaned heavily on her wealth and fame from the beginning of their marriage. He admitted as much on the Black Love Podcast, sharing his initial fears and insecurities about providing for their family. Despite his doubts, he was determined to make it work out of love for Tia. However, in recent years, Corey’s career has picked up steam with several television appearances.
There’s been talk around town about Corey’s attitude towards sharing the load at home, even as he started bringing in more money. Word has it that while Corey’s bank balance soared to over three million dollars recently, he seemed reluctant to chip in financially, leaving Tia to handle most of the household expenses despite her having about four million dollars to her name. This revelation has sparked rumors among fans, with some suggesting that Corey’s decision to contest the prenuptial agreement might not be about money but rather a desire to make things difficult for Tia during their divorce proceedings.
But Tia isn’t taking it lying down. Rumor has it she’s ready to fight tooth and nail, refusing to let Corey dictate the terms of their split. She’s tired of playing nice and putting up a front for the public. Instead, she’s gearing up for a legal battle, although she’s made it clear she won’t stoop to Corey’s level by airing their dirty laundry online.
For Tia, her marriage was more than just a failed relationship; it was a learning experience. She’s choosing to focus on the positive aspects, like the beautiful children she and Corey share. Despite her efforts to keep things drama-free, Corey’s ego seems to be getting in the way. Fans are rallying behind Tia, criticizing Corey for what they see as greed and disrespect towards her.
Fans have been vocal in their support for Tia, expressing disappointment in Corey’s behavior and understanding for Tia’s stance. Many believe Corey’s actions reflect a lack of empathy and a desire to cause pain rather than genuine financial concerns.
