Tia Mowry clears the air after she said that she is a single mother.
The actress went on Instagram to share a post with a caption that read, “Why do I get backlash for calling myself a single mom?” She would go on to follow up with a video with the caption that said, “Family can look different than what we imagined and still be full of love, stability, and joy. This is my truth.”
Mowry went on to clarify that being a single mom doesn’t mean parenting single. “What gets overlooked is the nuance of what being a single mom can actually mean… For me, in my household, I am SINGLE. I don’t have a partner, so I’m holding it down for everyone at home. I’m the only parent present day to day,” she said.
She also added that different family dynamics should be normalized and that the only time it becomes “toxic or broken is when kids feel the divide and when they feel like they have to choose between parents.”
She added, “Happy, healthy families come in many forms. Different doesn’t mean broken. We are family, regardless.”
