Tia added that her twin sister is also “in a different place” in her life.

“She’s doing her thing and I’m doing my thing. It’s the same thing with my brother. We were doing movies together,Seventeen Again,” she said of acting with Tia and brother Tahj Mowry on the 2000 film.

“I think the reason people tend to go there is because our careers started together. But just like any sibling, everybody goes off to do their own thing, and you want them to. You want them to be individuals and to fly solo,” theSister, Sisteralum continued. “So there’s nothing harmful in any of that.”
