“Well dang, that made my heart sink to know you and Tamera are not close like y’all use to be,” one YouTube user commented underneath the sneak peek video.
“I’m excited for the show,” another YouTube user wrote. “It’s sad her & her sister are not close but I hope they are now.”
A source told PEOPLE that Tia’s comments about not being “close” to her sister were actually about geography. “The sisters are still close, but the quote being referenced was about the lack of proximity in their physical location — Tamera lives in Napa and Tia lives in Los Angeles,” the source said.
On Friday, Sept. 20, Tia shared a lighthearted Instagram post in which she jokingly reminisced about the moment when Tamera drank some of her breast milk after her son Cree’s birth.

“Yes, that actually happened!” she wrote in the caption. “With my new show Tia Mowry: My Next Act coming out on October 4th, I had to bring back this iconic moment. Get ready for more laughs, realness, and all the new chapters ahead!”
Also speaking about her divorce in the teaser, Tia says that she became “tired of people thinking everything was perfect when it wasn’t.”
“I think I lost me,” she explains. “I have this beautiful house, I have amazing kids, but the one thing I don’t have is love.”
“Divorce is about starting over, and you have to learn how to live again,” she adds.
Elsewhere in the teaser, Tia opens up about her relationship to fame and the public perception of her, stating that she’s been in the “public eye since I was 14 years old.”
“There is a whole other side of me,” she says.

Tia and Hardrict — who share son Cree, 13, and daughter Cairo, 6 — finalized their divorce in April 2023, six months after they announced their split. The Tia & Tamera star first announced the couple’s separation in October 2022 with a heartfelt Instagram post.
“I have always been honest with my fans, and today is no different. I wanted to share that Cory and I have decided to go our separate ways,” she wrote at the time. “These decisions are never easy, and not without sadness. We will maintain a friendship as we co-parent our beautiful children.”
She continued, “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.”
