Tia Mowry raised eyebrows months back after she revealed that she schedules sex with her husband, Cory Hardrict.
“We had sex dates,” host iHeartRadio Heidi Murkoff told Mowry. “We had to have sex once a week. That was the rule in our house, because otherwise we wouldn’t get around to it.”
Mowry then responded, “Heidi, this is the first time where I’m admitting it: We do too… And when I was younger and when I would hear that, I’d be like, ‘Why do you have to do that?’ But like you said, you do — especially with kids and with work and all that. You have to make sure that it’s not neglected in any kind of way.”
Listeners instantly began trolling her over her confession, but during a recent interview with The Wendy Williams Show, the unfiltered host asked her about her pre-arranged sex sessions… and Mowry doubled down on her previous remarks.
“I had said that long ago, and it kind of went viral. I saw some comments and some people are like, ‘Oh, there must be trouble in paradise because they have to schedule their sex lives. But, it’s actually the opposite,” the “Sister, Sister” actress explained.
“It means that you actually care, right? It is marriage, it takes work, especially when you both have great careers, we’re grateful for that. We’re busy with two kids,” she continued. “If I’m being honest, things can get in the way, but we value our marriage and we want to make sure our marriage is hot and spicy.”
Who are we to judge? Mowry has been married to her husband for 22 years, so something must be working.
