From 'Sister, Sister' to Motherhood: See Tia & Tamera Mowry Through the Years
The twins first found fame on Sister, Sister in the '90s, and have stayed in the spotlight ever since. Celebrate their 43rd birthdays with a journey through their lives and careers
Look back at the lives and careers of Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry-Housely, who got their start on the classic sitcom Sister, Sister and have continued to share career and life milestones as actresses and parents.
SISTER, SISTER
Tia and Tamera Mowry starred on Sister, Sister — which centered on twins who reunite after being separated at birth — from 1994 to 1999, initially on ABC before moving to The WB for its final four seasons.

STYLE TWINS
Hats off to Tia and Tamera, who never failed in supplying all the sister goals with their adorable matching outfits in the 1990s.
TERRIFIC TRIO
Tia and Tamera also made a cameo on their little brother Tahj's show, Smart Guy. Tahj first got his start on the small screen as Michelle's (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) best friend on Full House. The siblings have another brother, Tavior, as well.
BACK TO BACK
"We're nothing like the characters on Sister, Sister. We're kind of swapped," Tamera told Digital Spy in 2011. "I was the crazy mischievous one on the show — Tia was the studious, more serious one."
WINNING BIG
The sisters took home three Kids' Choice Awards while filming their show, and were honored in 1998 by being inducted to the Kids' Choice Awards Hall of Fame.
COMING TOGETHER
Following the 1999 series finale of Sister, Sister, Tia and Tamera made the decision to star alongside each other in 2000's Disney Channel Original Movie, Seventeen Again.
MAGICAL MOMENT
It turned out Seventeen Again wasn't enough shared screen time for the famous siblings. Tia and Tamera reunited for the super successful Disney Channel Original Movie Twitches in 2005 and its subsequent 2007 sequel.
HAND TO HOLD
Following a decade of working together, the sisters took a brief hiatus to film individual projects. Tamera starred in the 2009 comedy series Roommates, while Tia went on to slip into scrubs for her role in The Game.
KEEPING IT REAL
Following a memorable stint on reality TV, starring in Tia & Tamera for three seasons starting in 2011, Tamera joined the all-women roundtable on The Real in 2013.
OH, BABIES
Tamera, who married TV journalist Adam Housley in 2011, is pictured here showing off her baby bump in 2012. She welcomed son Aden that year, followed by daughter Ariah in 2015.
Tia married actor Cory Hardrict in 2008, and welcomed son Cree in 2011, followed by daughter Cairo in 2018. The two separated in late 2022 and finalized their divorce in 2023.
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS
Though the sisters were both on board for a reboot of their beloved '90s show, it's been put on hold for "legalities," Tia told PEOPLE. Not that they aren't busy already anyway: Tia is publishing a cookbook and is appearing on the series Family Reunion, while Tamera, who left The Talk in 2020, just had a successful run on The Masked Singer.
TOGETHER FOREVER
Tamera brought daughter Ariah, 7, and Tia brought daughter Cairo, 5, to the premiere of 2023's Little Mermaid remake.
"You get to see a little mermaid that looks like you ... it's very nostalgic to me too, because I grew up watching this movie. S to be able to see it with Cairo is just a dream come true," Tia said on Instagram.
