“I have always been honest with my fans, and today is no different. I wanted to share that Cory and I have decided to go our separate ways.

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.”
Following her sister’s breakup, Tamera opened up about how proud she was of Tia for handling the breakup with “grace.”
“You have your ups [and] you have your downs — but she’s allowing her experience to change her. I feel [like she has changed] for the better,” Tamera exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2022. “Things are not always gonna go as planned or we’re gonna have some plot twists. You [have to] learn from it, grow from it and do it with love. I feel like that is what she’s doing.”
