TIA MOWRY CONFIRMS ENGAGEMENT
Monday, January 22, 2007
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!

Awww. That’s a cute story. I’d be mad if that were my engagement story, but it suits them since that’s the type of person who he is.
He looks young. Like…16.

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.

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.

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!

Now she and her sister represent genuine goodness and humbleness. They are never over the top or too provactive. I am happy for her, and we need more people like them in Hollywood. I hope he treats her right.

Congrats to Tia on her next venture in life. Why should it matter if she marries a man black or white? It’s not like she would be stepping outside of her own. I agree every well groomed man is not necessary gay! You betta watch out for the Thug Brovas(lol) they be the ones all strong and long and giving it to John! Just saying……
