Tia Mowry recently shared in a candid Instagram post her fears about stepping into the dating scene. This post comes just three months after the settlement of her divorce with All-American actor Cory Hardrict, who she had been married to for 14 years.

Back In October, Mowry announced the split via Instagram. “I wanted to share that Cory and I have decided to go our separate ways. These decisions are never easy, and not without sadness,” she captioned.

She emphasized their efforts to co-parent and maintain a friendship, “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.” The two settled the terms of their divorce this past April.

This means Tia is officially ‘on the market’, but is she ready to date? “Fun Fact: I’ve never been on the dating scene my entire life 😬 So when I tell you I’m nervous and terrified of doing this whole dating thing, I mean it 😭,” she captioned, sharing her real feelings about dating for the first time. “Even though I’m in my 40’s, I feel so inexperienced!”

She makes light of the situation using a funny sound over her video that pokes fun at the small–and sometimes awkward—talk you encounter while dating. “Welp never thought I’d be here, but here goes…” reads the text on the Instagram Reel.

However, she continues the post by staying positive and allowing her faith to carry her through this time, “And while it would be easy to just throw in the towel and avoid the potential for awkwardness and hurt, I know God’s got me!”

Mowry and Hadrict share two children, a son named Cree; 12, and a daughter named Cairo; 5, which Mowry told HelloBeautfiul were part of the tough decision to separate. “[They can say] my mommy is living and chasing her truth. I want my children to do that. That’s the best gift I can give them,” she said. “I want for them not to live a life that I want them to live, for them not to live a life that everybody else wants them to live or what they think that they should be or live.”
