Mowry has publicly discussed losing her virginity to Hardict in the past.

“My husband and I, we were friends for a whole year before we decided to start dating. And even once we started dating, we waited. I lost my virginity at 25. So we even waited for a while to even get intimate,” she told Ebonyin 2013.

“This works for some people, and it doesn’t work for some people, and it’s OK,” she said.

Earlier this year, Mowry got real about how her divorce has emotionally affected her in a relatable Instagram post.

“One moment you’re relieved, feeling like you’ve conquered something significant, then suddenly, emotions hit you all over again,” she said over video clips of herself and her children. “It’s a side of divorce that isn’t often discussed, especially when there are kids involved.”

She added, “Someday I believe I’ll be able to look back on this time with nothing but warmth and gratitude for the beautiful children brought into my life and the stronger version of myself that emerged from the experience.”
