Tia Mowry got engaged to her boyfriend of six years, actor Cory Hardrict, on Christmas day, she tells PEOPLE.
“He surprised me in front of my entire family,” says Mowry, 28, who starred with twin sister Tamera on the 1994-1999 WB series Sister, Sister and is now on the CW comedy The Game.
“I knew something was up because he came over to my parents’ house and he was acting strange. He went to the bathroom three times in 10 minutes and he was sweating profusely. I was like ‘Cory, are you okay?’ ”
Turns out, acting funny was Hardrict’s master plan. “He’s a jokester,” says Mowry, who costarred with Hardrict, 27, in the independent film Hollywood Horror. “He had given me a card and it read, ‘I love you, blah blah blah.’ And he said, ‘Tia, I just want you to know that I want to be committed to you, and with this promise ring I want to let you know that I love you and I want to work towards the near future.’ ”
Only instead of a ring, Mowry’s little brother came over and handed her a piece of paper that said “Psych!” while Mowry’s other brother queued up the Jagged Edge song “Let’s Get Married.”
Hardrict then got down on one knee and gave Mowry a diamond ring he’d designed himself. “He was crying, I was crying,” says Mowry, who hasn’t set a wedding date yet. “It was just one of the best moments of my entire life.”
Congrats to her!

Tahj is his name and he use to act too I think. well, good for them and I wish them the best. no more hollywood divorces, please! especially amongst our fellow african americans.
i love it so sweet

LOL@12…pushing thirty. So many people don’t even get married these days and half the time when they do, it’s over in 5 minutes.
That was a nice lil engagement story. After 6 years already, hopefully they can go for life.
Damn dat was gay, but shit i guess u ain’t in ur right mind just before u sentence urself to life. Tia fine though.
AWWWWWW THAT’S SO SWEET CONGRATS I HOPE EVERYYTHING WORK OUT
He looks gay LOL
who’s the guy and what does he do now. If he is broke, i say…. Hell no! leave him until he gets a gig. Maybe his family has money or something. That is probably why he waited to seeif he would be doing anything else that might bring in a paycheck.
I’m happy for her. I had no idea that she was that old!! But she looks beautiful and they make a beautiful couple.
I like her she is very talanted. You go girl!

Congrats to Tia and Corey! I hopw that she is happy in the future. And how is he gay? Man, people always got negative things to say about anything!
CONGRATS to the couple! Those twins were raised right. You hardly ever, if any time, heard negative stories of either of them throughout their entertainment careers. Positive African American women in the entertainment business is getting rare. Their parents should be proud!
How in the heck can you all tell Tia and Tamera apart?????
that’s what it is…and that ring’s not too shabby. good job! they look cute together
Tia looks good. I’d eat that
I AM SO HAPPY FOR THE COUPLE. JUST TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT FOR EVERYONE… COREY IS NOT GAY!!! I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT. HE’S BEEN THROUGH A LOT OVER THE YEARS AND HE’S KEPT GOD IN HIS HEART SO THIS IS A BLESSING. CONGRATS COREY AND TIA. IT’S ABOUT TIME!!!

I was thinking the same thing but congrats to them anyway
That is so sweet. I dont know if I would want to be proposed to infront of my entire family, but I guess it worked for them. They make s very cute couple. Hopefully after 6 years they know each other inside and out and will have a long lasting marriage.

Glad she is happy…but they both need to get real gigs and she needs to get her ass off of WB or CW or whatever it is. LOL.
