The actress said, “For them, seeing their mother walk in truth, I feel like it’s a great lesson for them because it was not an easy decision.” Mowry shared she hopes her kids can see that “even if there’s some doubt,” their mommy pushed through.

Tia added she wants her kids to live their lives the way they want and not live according to her or anyone else’s instructions.

Tia also shared a video alongside the photos, which showed Cree acting like he didn’t know Tia. Earlier this year, in January, Tia also shared a video of her son trying to teach her how to hit the squabble, with Tia making her life’s mission to embarrass her son.

Tia has previously talked about her pregnancy struggle. In her 20s, Mowry was diagnosed with endometriosis, a disease in which the tissue that lines the uterus, or endometrium, is found outside the uterus. So, when Tia received the news that she had successfully conceived Cairo, she couldn’t believe it.

On Cairo’s third birthday in 2021, Tia shared a video of her sweet daughter and her family and captioned the post, “My darling baby girl Cairo. Having children was never easy for me. Maybe that’s why I waited so long to try and go for a second round. I will tell you this— I am so glad I didn’t give up.
