Tia Mowry believes some of the people she has dated since her divorce had "some sort of infatuation growing up" with Sister, Sister.

Tia tells Us Weekly that she recently decided to take a break from dating because the actress started to realize "why someone is dating you."

"I put a little bit of a pause on dating at the moment, because you don't really know why someone is dating you," Mowry said. "When it becomes very clear on why someone is dating you through their behaviors, it's disappointing."

Tia shared how she ultimately came to this realization that a few of these people she went out on dates with happened to be obsessed with her because of the sitcom she starred in with her twin sister, Tamera Mowry-Housley.

"I've realized that some people are attracted because there was some sort of infatuation growing up — you know, 'Oh, this is the girl from Sister, Sister," she explained. "It's like, 'Nah. I want you to know me and love me when the makeup comes off."

Aside from not being infatuated due to her association with Sister, Sister, Tia knows exactly what she's looking for in a partner. "There has to be awareness of their traumas [and] triggers," she said. "They have to have emotional intelligence, kindness, accountability and love for oneself."

Tia also mentioned being in therapy and consistently working on their growth as her other non-negotiables.

According to Today, Mowry and actor Cory Hardict finalized their divorce in April 2023 after 14 years of marriage. They had two children together.
