In 1999, Mowry and Hardrict met on the independent film Hollywood Horror set. In a 2017 YouTube video, Hardrict said, “I was waiting for the bus, Tia and her sister gave me a ride home down to Inglewood, and we got cool since then, and that’s how we met.”
Before getting together, they had been friends for a year. Mowry said, “For a whole year, we didn’t, as I said, kiss or anything, go out on dates. We were just friends,” “And then, after that year, that’s when we started dating, and that was in 2000.”
In the video, Hardrict talked about how he knew Mowry was the one. He did this while talking about how they met. “I knew Tia was the one for me when she was in my corner when I moved to Inglewood, and I had, like, two pairs of drawers to my name,” he said. “I was dirt poor.

I did not have anything, but she loved me for who I was and appreciated everything I did have. Then I knew that I would buy her an engagement ring once my finances improved, and she would be my wife.” Mowry said that when she met Hardrict, she had just gotten out of a “terrible relationship.”
“He just had loads of patience with me,” she said. “He was just right there for me and held my hand.”
