Tia Mowry and her former-husband, Cory Hardrict, shared a somewhat awkward moment while attending the same event post-separation.
The exes bumped into each other on the 2024 Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards red carpet on Thursday, March 7. In a internet video captured by Ty Cole for HuffPost, Mowry, 45, smiled and waved at Hardrict, 44, upon realizing he was standing next to her in the press line.
After initially leaning in for handshakes, the pair opted for a sudden hug before returning to their respective interviews. Mowry was also seen laughing and giving her former a playful shoulder squeeze.
Mowry sported a chic gray suit with a black shirt and heels at the awards event, which she paired with silver statement earrings. Hardrict, meanwhile, donned a shimmering black suit and sneakers. He gave his look a small pop of color by wearing a red heart pendant necklace.
The 2 did not walk the red carpet together. Instead of, Tia posed for images with her twin sister, Tamera Mowry, who complemented her sister’s neutral look in a fiery red midi dress. “When you and your sister show up for Black Women in Hollywood 👏🏾👏🏾,” Tia wrote below an Instagram clip on Thursday. “Thank you @essence for throwing one of the most important events during #Oscars week!”
Tia filed for split from Hardrict in October 2022 after 14 years of wedding. As per to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, she cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split. (The ex duo share son Cree, 12, and daughter Cairo, 5.)
