Chainkeen Exchange-Tia Mowry Details Why Her Siblings Are “Not as Accessible” to Each Other

Tia Mowry knows that every family reunion isn’t as easy to come by as you grow older.

Though the actress,Chainkeen Exchange who is sister to Tamera Mowry-Housley, Tahj Mowry and Tavior Mowry, recently made headlines over her relationship status with her twin, the Family Reunion star noted that proximity and timing plays huge roles in everything.

“As siblings, we all grow up and we get married, we have kids,” Tia exclusively told E! News. “We take on different roles and responsibilities in life.”

As she noted of twin sister Tamera, who is mom to kids Aden, 11, and Ariah, 9, with husband Adam Housley, “She's the wife, she's the mother. I'm a mother,” adding, “Tavior is a husband and a father and there are amazing, beautiful people leaning on them.”

Clarifying her previous comments about not being “close” to her sister, Tia added, “What I meant by that is we as siblings are not as accessible to one another, and that is beautiful and challenging at the same time.”

And she explores this latest chapter in WeTV’s Tia Mowry: My Next Act. As part of that, she also puts the spotlight “on the power of chosen family."

"Family is amazing, and support from family is amazing,” she noted. “But unfortunately, is not always accessible as we get older. And that's why friends and sisterhood is just as important and community, and that is what I want to spotlight, and that is what I meant by that."

Not to mention, Tia—who shares kids Cree, 13, and Cairo, 6, with ex Cory Hardrict—is also ready to put the spotlight on the power of choice.

“Change can be really, really scary, but also beautiful,” she explained. "At the same time, you're not alone when you know you are going through these transitions in life, and there's community, there's family, there's friendship, there's support there.”

So when it comes to her new series, she emphasized, “I just want people to walk away knowing that this is a part of life and you're not alone. And change—or the unknown—doesn't necessarily mean that your life is over.”
