The “Family Reunion” actor said she is “really excited” to spend some time with Hardrict, also an actor, during the festive season when asked about her family’s holiday plans by TMZ on Thursday. 

“We are going to be spending the holidays with him, which we’re really excited about,” she said.

Mowry shared the news of her split from Hardrict in a statement on Instagram. After 14 years of marriage, the pair share two children: Cree, 11, and Cairo, 4. 

“These decisions are never easy, and not without sadness,” Mowry said in the statement at the time. “We will maintain a friendship as we co-parent our beautiful children.”

Last month, Mowry revealed the moment she knew her marriage had reached the end of its road during an appearance on “Today with Hoda & Jenna.”

“There was just an aha moment in me where I said: ‘You know what? You need to tap in, see what’s really going on with your happiness,’” she said, after sharing that she felt a “sadness” at some point in their relationship.

“Life is short — let’s go, let’s start working on you and really focusing on what really, really matters here,” she continued. “Which is at the end of the day: Your peace, your joy and your happiness.”
