Tia Mowry is living her best life with her new boyfriend by her side.
Years after the “Sister, Sister” actress divorced her ex-husband, Cory Hardrict, she found love again with her partner, Javone Williams, whom she described as super smart and “so wonderful.”
In March 2026, Tia Mowry opened up about how her “boundaries” had changed since separating from her ex.
Tia recently sat down with SiriusXM’s “Today Radio Show” to discuss a range of topics, including her new relationship with Williams, a teacher, artist, and reader.
According to Mowry, their connection is so strong that they do things together that help push them to be better, like going to the “Buddhist temple” every week and reading before bed.
“He’s a wonderful human being,” Tia said. “His emotional intelligence, it’s amazing.”
Tia Mowry Reveals She ‘Manifested’ Her New Relationship With Williams After Speaking With A Friend
Later in the interview, Mowry said that she “manifested” her new relationship with Williams after a friend of hers told her to “listen to music, put some candles on and just write out a list of what you would like in a partner.”
“I’m glad that it came around the time…because I really wouldn’t have known what I wanted three years ago. I really needed to sit in like solitude and like learn who I am first before I even figured out what it was and what it is that I want. So I did do that,” she said.
“And not only did I do that, I’m a huge believer in like neuroscience,” the mother of two added. “So I would literally close my eyes, and I would meditate about my partner, and I would meditate about the feeling that I would want to feel, and the feeling was my nervous system being safe, and that’s exactly what he does, like he’s amazing, like he’s so wonderful.”
Tia Mowry Filed For Divorce From Ex, Cory Hardrict, In 2022
Tia initially filed for divorce from her ex, Cory Hardrict, in 2022 after 14 years of marriage. The “Game” star cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
According to TMZ, she opened up about her separation from Hardrict in an Instagram post, saying she wanted to be honest with her fans about where things stood between them.
“I wanted to share that Cory and I have decided to go our separate ways. These decisions are never easy, and not without sadness. We will maintain a friendship as we co-parent our beautiful children. I am grateful for all the happy times we had together and want to thank my friends, family and fans for your love and support as we start this new chapter moving forward in our lives,” she wrote.
Tia Knew Her Relationship Was Over At This Moment
Tia spoke with “TODAY” about her split and said that she could pinpoint the moment she knew things between her and her ex were over.
“I knew when I really started to focus on my happiness,” she said in 2022. “I feel like women, we tend to focus on everybody else’s happiness, making sure that everybody else is OK — meaning our children, our friends, our family.”
Tia went on to say that life is about more than those things, adding that when women begin focusing on themselves and “self-love,” they’ll recognize their value. “And it’s not easy. It’s a hard journey, but at the end of the day, I feel like it is so, so worth it,” she continued.
Tia Must Be Feeling ‘Secure’ About Her New Relationship With Williams
According to a previous report from The Blast, Tia told the media that, following her divorce, she was keeping certain aspects of her personal life private. She shared that she would only post about her relationship when she felt “secure” with where things were between them.
“If I am feeling secure about something, then I’m okay sharing, because everybody wants to say what they want to say. When you are secure with yourself, then you’re like, ‘This is just noise,’” she said.
The actress said that she’s normally a bit nervous posting about her love life, and to protect herself, she’s used to creating “a boundary.”
“So yeah, it’s all about what I feel secure about, and also just [what I’m] passionate about, that I’m open to talk about,” she added.
