Tahj and his siblings start their first names with T because their father’s name is Timothy, and their middle names start with D because their mother’s name is Darlene.
The sisters of Tahj are both married and have children. Tia is married to Cory Hardrict and Tamera is married to Adam Housley.

Gay, Girlfriend
Tahj Mowry is NOT a gay man. Before the rumors about his gayness in 2015 were spread mainly by SandraRose and Fameolous, Mowry had dated a few women. The publication claimed that Mowry was gay simply because he liked the photo of a gay bodybuilder. The headlines read: “Tia and Tamera’s brother Tahj Mowry is gay. He was captured by an Instagram who longed for a gay man (receipts)”. The simple truth, however, is that Mowry is not gay and that it is not enough to like the image of a fellow human being, regardless of his sexual orientation, to determine one’s own…
In the past, Mowry has dated some really sexy women. He dated Aleisha Allen from 2003 to 2007. And more recently, he was in a relationship with Erica Campo. In 2013, they were spotted on a shoddy vacation in Bali.
Later, however, they split up for reasons unknown to the media. In a 2015 interview with Hollywood Life, Mowry revealed that his sisters Tia and Tamera were very protective of him.
