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!

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.

^^ fucking lame. it’s those niggas who never cry in public who basically cry the most behind closed doors when their woman’s gone cause they were too caught up in that “acting hard” attitude instead of showcasing true feelings to their ladies. tia’s fiance is SO REAL!

#82 “79, why would it end in divorce? That’s kinda a cruel thing to say.”
^ tell them. in this cynical world, some people are still very happy and i’m one of them. i celebrate couples like those two who, despite all the negativity, choose to take the risk and give their real love a chance. nobody said love and marriage were easy, but they give it a chance. God bless them.

I am very happy for her. When my little cousin was dying of bone cancer, her “Make A Wish” was to meet Tia and Tamara, and they came to Louisiana with her and spent EVEN more time than they were supposed to with her. They are wonderful people. I wish them both nothing but the best.

dear Tia Mowry i am grateful that you are getting married and i am glad that you found a man that loves you for you i am happy for you and so tiry eye yes you do set an example for the rest of young woman are age who want to do what you are doing and i m glad that you have such wonderful parents not to nock every one elses i am glad that you are not acting like Britney Linsey and Paris and yes it all has to do with the parents you see them blame the bad luck for wich they were charmed for in there wield ways and agressive sinful behaivor not every one acts cocky and cooky and just like an allergy and a sines headace i am glad that you did not let holly wood go to you’re heads. Tia i followed you’re career for years i find that now that i have had a real chance to get to know you that you are truely smart and briallant and funny young lady and i wonder how you step out you’re charater and separate fact from Ego Tia Mowry i learned that you don’t read toliet gossip (magazines)but that you’re character does things that you do not do so i have declared that you are truly talented and when i saw last weeks episode of the game i knew that you had something special a God given gift something that forced you to step out of Tia Mowry and do something that Melanie Barnett would never do is to through her self on another man girl that sene reminded me of the play hair where they do the naked sene in the bath tub in front of a live audiance that was brillant you truly are an actress and welcome to the adult world of acting i was shocked by first episdoe when you were in bed with a guy that really did shock me but hey i kept watching any way good luck with the marriage thing no need to rush and lots of love from an estemed true admire Angell Soft
