Tia Mowry jumped into the dating scene right after signing her divorce papers. She felt ready to go get ’em, only to discover she was not. “It is exhausting. I want to throw the towel in,” she laughed on Chris GQ Perry TV in September. She admitted she wasn’t expecting it to be so hard. “Someone had told me, and I wanted to be like, ‘No, I disagree with you, and I don’t want to believe it,'” she said. Around the time her interview went live, Mowry took to TikTok to share a glimpse into what her dating life has been like.
“Ghosting, and love bombing, and emotional unavailability, OH MY,” she captioned a September 2023 post. “Kidding, but not kidding.” To Perry, Mowry specified that she misses the dating etiquette from when she got with Cory Hardrict. “People just don’t court each other anymore,” she said. In August, Mowry noted how unprepared she felt to date after being in a relationship for more than 20 years. “Even though I’m in my 40s, I feel so inexperienced!” she wrote on Instagram.

Mowry’s openness about this new chapter has attracted criticism, with many suggesting she should get back with Hardrict if she’s so unhappy with the dating world. And she didn’t let it slide. “Just because the dating life is complicated. Doesn’t mean I’m going to go back to something that no longer served me,” she wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in October 2023.
