Tamera Mowry Just Announced She’s Leaving ‘The Real’ After Six Seasons
Tamera Mowry announced on Instagram that she’s leaving her daytime talk show, The Real.
In her statement, Tamera shared she’s going to be pursuing new opportunities and embracing family life.
Ah, it’s a sad time in the daytime television world: Tamera Mowry is leaving The Real *sobs*. I guess we can’t be that upset over her departure, considering she gave us six whole seasons on the talk show, but I (and the rest of the show’s viewers) will definitely miss her presence.
Tamera announced the news on Instagram, stating she wanted to share her side of the story before it blows up in the tabloids. She wrote:
“For seven years, my home and heart has been at The Real. The friendships that I’ve made there will last a lifetime, and the people that I’ve had the blessing to interview have changed my life for the better.
“I’m so proud of what all the ladies and I have accomplished there, including two well-deserved NAACP Image Awards and a Daytime Emmy. However, all good things must come to an end, and it’s with a bittersweet smile that I announced that I am moving on from The Real.
“To my fellow hosts, I love you, I will miss you, and I will always be there for you. Thank you for teaching me, supporting me, and loving all of me. Sisters forever. I’ll be rooting for you as I look forward to spending more time with my family, pursuing amazing new opportunities, and embarking on the next chapter of my life.”

For the record, this isn’t the first cohost The Real has lost. Tamar Braxton previously cohosted the show but left in 2016 in order to continue working on her music career. Her replacement, Insecure’s Amanda Seales, also left this June and said she was unhappy on the show because she couldn’t speak openly about race issues.
A representative from The Real’s production company, Telepictures, issued a statement to People about Tamera’s departure, in which they said:
“We fully support Tamera’s decision to spend more time with her family, even if that means she’s not one of our hosts on The Real. She will always be part of The Real family. We look forward to developing future projects with her and welcoming her back as a regular guest on the show.”
While it hurts to see Tamera go, I can’t wait to see what her future endeavors hold.
