It’s hard to believe Tia And Tamera Mowry will turn 48 in a few days. The beloved actresses, known for their breakout roles in the sitcom “Sister, Sister,” have been staples of the entertainment industry for years. After finishing their time playing lost twins separated at birth, reunited years later, they continued to perform in other notable works, including “The Game”, “Instant Mom”, “Double Wedding”, “Twitches” and “The Real”. To honor their upcoming special day, Tia, mother of children Cree and Cairo, posted a carousel of photos of them along with a touching caption.

In the carousel, Tia gave her nearly 13 million Instagram followers a glimpse into their lifelong bond, sharing childhood photos of them smiling with matching braids as well as snaps of them posing on red carpets over the years. She also included more recent images of them spending time together, apparently during a trip to Napa Valley.
In the photo’s caption, Tia expressed her gratitude to her sister, Tamera, and recalled some of their many highlights. “Cancer season always hits a little differently when you’re a twin,” she wrote.
“We’ve shared birthdays, rooms, jokes, dreams and more memories than I could ever fit into one post,” Tia added. “Happy early birthday! I wouldn’t trade these memories for anything. Here’s to 48 (???) and all the adventures that still await us. I still love you!”

A third user also had fun, writing: “Aww, happy birthday to the most epic twin queens,” while a fourth posted: “Happy birthday to the only twin queens ever!”
Tia Mowry Posts About Tamera Months After Saying The Couple Weren’t That Close
Tia’s post comes months after she spoke candidly about the relationship with her sister on her reality show, “Tia Mowry: My Next Act.” In the episode, Tia implied that she and Tamera weren’t in a good situation after saying they hadn’t communicated as much.
“I came into the world with a twin, and right after that I started a 22-year relationship, so I’ve never been alone in my life. It’s been quite a journey,” Tia said of her divorce from Cory Hardrict. “Being alone has been the hardest part of my divorce. It’s times like this that I feel and wish that my sister and I were still close, and that I could pick up the phone and call her. But that’s just not where we are right now.”
Tamera seemed to confirm the rumors a few weeks later when she admitted to hearing about Tia’s new show with the rest of the world. She said: “Tia is living her life right now, and Tia is doing Tia.” Tamera also confirmed that she won’t appear on the show either, adding, “No, she says, this is my story, and you know, I can only respect that.”
Tia said the twins now have a ‘pact’
According to Tia, they didn’t have a dramatic argument. She said their distance was due to natural life changes, such as their growing family and expansive careers. To remedy this, Tia said the twins made a “pact” to call each other once a week, especially on Sundays, adding that “…as long as we make time for each other, that’s all that really matters.”
Tia opens up about her new relationship
A previous report from The Blast details Tia’s new relationship with her boyfriend, Javone Williams, someone she described as “a teacher, an artist and a reader.”
She then explained that she “manifested” her new man months after divorcing Hardrict, saying she listened to music, lit candles and wrote down everything she was looking for in a partner.
“I’m glad it happened at that time… because I really wouldn’t have known what I wanted three years ago. I really needed to sit in solitude and learn who I am before I even figured out what it was and what I wanted. So I did it,” she said.
