Actress Tia Mowry, who shares kids Cree, 14, and Cairo, 7, with ex-husband Cory Hardrict, responded to the backlash she's received for referring to herself as a "single mom," according to E! News.

She and her ex-husband, Cory Hardict, finalised their divorce in 2023. They continue to co-parent their two kids, 14-year-old Cree and 7-year-old Cairo. The Seventeen Again star reacted to the backlash she's received for calling herself a "single mom."

"Family can look different than what we imagined and still be full of love, stability, and joy," Tia wrote in her Instagram post. "This is my truth, and I want to share it. Being a 'single mom' doesn't always mean a mom doing it all alone without the father present in their kids' lives at all. I recognise that archetype is extremely difficult, and I truly empathise."
