Any older millennial worth its generational title remembers the separated-at-birth twins who reunite as teenagers played by Tia and Tamera Mowry in “Sister, Sister.” But Adam Housley is not a millennial. When Housley met Tamera, all he saw was a beautiful woman. “I had no idea who the heck she was, I just thought she was pretty,” he told Yahoo in 2018. Tamera and Housley were introduced by Robert Sexton, who was her economics professor at Pepperdine University — which is also Housley’s alma mater.
Housley was on campus visiting his former professor when he spotted pictures of his favorite students on the wall by his desk. Housley was immediately drawn to Tamera. Funny enough, Tamera wasn’t the only famous Mowry featured. “Tia was on the wall too, my twin, but he pointed to my picture,” she said. Housley promptly Googled his crush. “I had never seen her TV show. I didn’t even know this TV show,” he said on “It’s Love.”

An indignant Tamera asked the camera: “Who doesn’t know ‘Sister, Sister?'” Housley had a good point, though. “It started when I was a freshman in college. If I was watching ‘Sister, Sister’ in college, the guys would have beat me up,” he argued. Tamera allowed Sexton to give Housley her email and the journalist’s way with text did the rest. “I always say, he got me with his words,” she said, before turning to him to add: “You’re very smart.”
