Tia Mowry<\/strong><\/a> is keeping it real about diving back into the dating scene on her new We TV docuseries, Tia Mowry: My Next Act<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly<\/em>, the actress, 46, dished on looking for love again following her divorce from ex-husband Cory Hardrict<\/strong>. \u201cIf you\u2019re able to look at it as just having fun, then it\u2019s fun. You get to explore and experience someone new,\u201d Mowry shared. \u201cIt\u2019s [also] about self-discovery. You start to have an understanding of what it is that you want.\u201d<\/p>\n

In October 2022, Mowry announced she and Hardrict, 44, had called it quits<\/a> after 14 years of marriage, noting in a statement shared via Instagram, \u201cThese decisions are never easy, and not without sadness.\u201d The former couple share kids Cree, 13, and Cairo, 6.<\/p>\n

Though the series will show Mowry meeting potential suitors, she admits that things have changed since filming wrapped. \u201cI put a little bit of a pause on dating at the moment, because you don\u2019t really know why someone is dating you,\u201d she told Us<\/em>. \u201cWhen it becomes very clear on why someone is dating you through their behaviors, it\u2019s disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n
