Actor Cory Hardrict is getting vulnerable and opening up about his divorce from actress Tia Mowry and sharing how he’s been experiencing sleepless nights on his tearful journey of life after divorce.
While speaking with co-hosts Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder Jr., and Fred Taylor, Cory Hardrict talked about his career, his children, and his divorce from Tia Mowry — whom he “wishes the best with everything, unconditionally.”
During the interview, Co-host Ryan Clark asked Cory Hardrict, “How did you find a way to get through that time while also having to still be a father, a provider, and still do your job?” Hardrict replied, “You know, I feel like you’ll never get through that. A lot of praying. A lot of knowing that God is real. God is actually truly real in my life. A lot of stillness, man. When you sit still a lot, you can hear a lot of things, for me. A lot of isolation, solitude, and just knowing if I can just put one foot in front of the other and take it a day at a time, ‘cause I’m taking it a day at a time… still to this day.”

After Clark asked, “Really?,” Hardrict replied, “Yeah, I just take it a day at a time. You know, Black men have feelings. Black men hurt. Black men are in pain and sometimes we don’t have outlets to… you know, talking to you now, no one’s really asked me these questions… never, really. So, it’s like sometimes we feel like we’re dealing with it alone, not unless you have a therapist or a close confidant or a friend.”
He continued, “But, it’s not easy because it feels like as a Black man you can’t show vulnerability to the world, because it’s a form of weakness. But, it should be looked at as a form of strength. Like, men do need to cry, because when it’s all bottled up and inside that’s when stress and things can happen, different tensions. You gotta be able to have an outlet to release. Like I said, that’s the only way that you can get to truly healing of everything.”
Hardrict added, “So, when I was speaking in Miami, that’s just how I felt at the time. So, to this day, I look at my kids and say, ‘Daddy got you forever.’ I look at my daughter. When they smile at me and they know daddy really loves them. My son knows, ‘Daddy really loves me.’ That’s what brings me joy right now and that’s what keeps me sane.”
He concluded, “I’m on my way. I want to be the biggest in the world. From a humble place, but, I feel like from a skill-set, I feel like I am that dude. That’s just how I really feel. And I feel like I can step into that more because of my children, because of my mom, and having the promise that I gave her, I’m ready to do all those things.”
When asked about co-parenting with ex-wife Tia Mowry after divorce, Cory Hardrict said, “Everything is about the kids. You know, their wellbeing, their future, and just co-parenting, and keeping it still a family, and keeping it love. You know, still keeping God first, at the center of everything, and just walking with love, man. That’s all it’s about.”
Hardrict added, “You know, I wish her the best with everything and that’s unconditional for me. You know, I love unconditionally. I can’t get caught up in what’s going on out there and what people are saying. I just know where my heart is at and I have to continue to move that way because I want all my blessings for me. If I succeed, she succeeds, our kids succeed. So, I have no room for failure or no room for mistakes right now in my life ,that’s how I look at it.”
