For Cory Hardrict, change and adjustment have been major themes in his life for the last few years. ​In 2022, his then-wife Tia Mowry announced they were splitting after 14 years of marriage and two kids. Now they live apart and co-parent their 15-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter, Cree and Cairo Hardrict. While the “Sister, Sister” star has been more vocal about her life’s evolution on social media, Hardrict has been more circumspect about his life after divorce.

Under the photo, he shared a message about growth. ​He began, “Another year of Life, a stronger purpose, a Heart full of gratitude.   Sometimes the loudest growth happens in silence. Life has taught me that not every road is easy, not every season makes sense, And somewhere between the falling and the rising, you discover who you truly are.” ​The actor added that “Privacy is power. I’ve learned to appreciate the quiet, protect my peace, and that growth doesn’t always need an audience.” ​Along with a gracious heart, Hardrict said he’s walking into this next year of life with “deeper faith” and a “strong sense of purpose.” “I’m not walking into this new year trying to prove who I am. I’m walking into it becoming who God has called me to be,” he continued. ​Many fans kept up the positive spirit in the comments by not only wishing Hardrict a “Happy Birthday,” but also applauding his caption. ​However, some followers thought there was more to read between the lines, suspecting his message was directed at Mowry. ​One fan who thought so said, “Basically what he’s saying is he’s allowing her to play herself which is exactly what she’s doing with that young punk she’s flaunting on the internet so when Corey pops up with his new woman, better not none of yall say [nothing].” ​Another person who took it upon themselves to shade Mowry said, “Happy birthday Cory. Great for moving in silence bc Tia out here rolling around on the ground like a look sick six graded.” ​But one person defended Mowry. One person typed, “Everything don’t have to be about Tia. He talking about his own personal growth. They’ve moved on so let’s move on with them folks… keep up.” ​After spending her first couple of years of divorce in solitude, Mowry introduced the world to her new man, Javon’e Williams, to the world in May. She first hinted at a relationship by dropping a photo dump of herself and a man’s feet in February. She later said she was “in love” during an interview at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood in March. ​Paparazzi photos caught the couple walking hand in hand and sharing a kiss in Los Angeles in April. The next month, the actress shared her first post with Williams, who is an educator, artist, and about 12 years Mowry’s junior. ​Now they both occasionally post about each other online, sharing special moments. In her latest post with him, she smiled while lying in his arms. She captioned the post, “Black love.” ​The second fan who made fun of Mowry “rolling around on the ground” was referring to her Oct. 29 post where the words “Don’t fall for the younger guy. Me:” floated above her as she lay out in the grass, wearing a skirt and sweater. ​“Yall said stay grounded, here I am,” she wrote in the caption, hinting that she is happy in her relationship. ​As for Hardrict, he isn’t publicly in a relationship with anyone right now. ​Last year, when journalist Touré asked if he was dating, Hardrict said, “I believe dating is something that I would be open for. It just got to feel like I’m not chasing it; it’s kind of coming to me. And right now, it’s like I’m still trying to figure out who I am right now.” Since their divorce was finalized in 2023, Mowry has also shared messages about growth and peace. ​She candidly admitted that after becoming an actress, a mom, and a wife, she realized she “didn’t actually know who [she] was underneath all of those roles.” ​Mowry said her rediscovery process included “therapy,” “neuroscience,” “meditation,” “prayer,” and “community.” ​In the end, she learned “that peace and joy are something you choose.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cory Hardrict (@coryhardrict) ​ ‘Divorce In Black’ Star Cory Hardrict Drops Cryptic Post About Peace and Privacy That Has Fans Wondering If There’s a New Woman in His Life ...read more read less
