presented a loving Union and seemed to be very supportive of the other's professional Endeavors
add in their two beautiful children and you've got the recipe for a perfect family lifestyle so
it came as a major shock to their fans when on October 4th 2022 Tia announced on her Instagram
that her and Corey were separating after 14 years of marriage I have always been honest with my fans
and today is no different I wanted to share that Corey and I have decided to go our separate ways
these decisions are never easy and not without sadness we will maintain a friendship as we
co-parent our beautiful children I am grateful for all the happy times we had together and want
to thank my friends family and fans for your love and support as we start this new chapter
moving forward in our lives in just a couple of hours tens of thousands of comments of love
and support flooded the post many from fans who didn't want to believe that the announcement was
real so what happened to this down to earth Hollywood couple that everyone thought were
going to beat the odds let's start with How Tia and Corey first led the time was the year 2000
and the place was on the set of an independent movie they both starred in my first impression
of Corey we did this movie called Hollywood horror that's all I'm going to say about that
yeah um and I remember looking at him and seeing the type of shoes he had on they were terrible
they were horrible and it was wardrobe they were like the Birkenstocks like who puts a brother
in Birkenstocks it was a low budget movie they gave me what they had in the like I was right
it was like what kind of shoes are you wearing do you remember that I remember that yeah yeah I had
the Open Toe Sanders my feet were out things took a turn went on her way home from work one day Tia
and her twin sister Tamara who also starred in the movie Saw Corey waiting at the bus stop and
offered him a ride after all he was a struggling actor at the time working regular jobs like
security at Kmart during the graveyard shift while living in a studio apartment with no furniture
Tia and Corey continue to hang out together just as friends
for an entire year then one night Corey decided it was time to step up his game
and presented Tia with the best flowers that Ralph's Supermarket had to offer
according to Tia that was the moment her heart officially melted for him they eventually got
engaged on Christmas day in front of Tia's entire family after over six years of dating they walked
down the aisle the year after that after five years of marriage they renewed their vows with
a special ceremony Corey admitted on their 2017 episode of black love that he hesitated to propose
to Tia because he felt he wasn't ready financially I was like man you know I have to marry here but
it wasn't like I didn't want to marry I just wasn't ready financially I'll be honest I
felt like I was I was afraid money whether Tia's abundance of it or Corey's lack of it according
to the social media streets seemed to be an issue that came up in their relationship time and time
again fans of tea and Tamara's reality show that ran from 2011 to 2013 even recall moments of
tension between the sisters when Tia revealed her frustrations about having to work while caring for
her infant son the addition of their son into Tien Corey's relationship day said actually caused some
friction between them and was a hard adjustment in the same episode tier remarked on the importance
of having a realistic perspective on a marriage her and Corey grew up in different environments
Tia was raised with both parents in the household while Corey on the other hand was raised by a
single mother they both admit that things were difficult in the beginning as a result since
they had very opposite ways of doing things Tia's military parents demanded structure and order at
home that Corey never experienced as a result Tia was more equipped to help Corey become more
organized and responsible and in turn Corey held Tia to relax dream and take more risks in life
longtime fans of Tia and her sister may be aware of their strict religious upbringing so it may
have come as a surprise to hear Tia reveal that she and Corey did live together for three years
before they married Tia noted that her parents weren't happy about it but she believed that
the decision was right for them some viewers of the black glove episode commented on the tension
they felt was evident between the couple at times on camera while they both talked about how much
work marriage takes how they were glad that they chose to stick it out through the rough times
and Corey repeatedly asking Tia to let him finish speaking also in 2017 Tia featured her husband on
her official YouTube channel in an episode titled tiamari and Corey hardrict marriage q a when asked
the question how did you know that he or she was the one Corey's answer also spoke to his financial
circumstance at the time and how Tia dealt with it how did you know that he or she was the one I knew
Tia was the one for me when she was in my corner when I moved to LA when I moved to Inglewood and
I didn't have like I had like two pair of draws to my name I was dirt poor I didn't have anything
and she she appreciated everything like for what it was and she loved me for me two years ago tier
revealed some sexy information about her marriage she said that due to her and her husband's busy
schedules they had to plan out their intimate moments in advance to make sure they stayed
connected she also admitted that during quarantine she sometimes hid in the bathroom to escape her
husband and children the experience without a doubt solidified her decision to not have any
more children back in April on their 14th wedding anniversary both Tia and Corey posted very sweet
messages to each other on their Instagram accounts as the caption to old photos detailing their
relationship according to documents obtained by US Weekly Tia filed for divorce in Los Angeles citing
irreconcilable differences as the reason for the couple's split no specific date of Separation was
listed however she did request joint physical and legal custody of their children Cree 11 and Cairo
IV She also asked for the judge to terminate the ability to award spousal support and noted
that they do have a prenuptial agreement in Place several hours prior to the separation announcement
Tia posted a quote in her stories about letting go many of her tweets over the last month could
also be interpreted as a direct reference to recent events as of the making of this video
Corey hasn't made any public announcements but fans did notice an interesting quote of his own
that he posted in his stories two days prior hopefully Tia and Corey will navigate through
this difficult time the best way possible and just like Tia said in her Instagram statement continue
to maintain a friendship while co-parenting their children in this new chapter of their lives
