Intimacy is incredibly personal and can be defined by couples however they want, never letting societal opinions get in the way. The former couple certainly did just that.

Reflecting on the timeline of their relationship, Mowry revealed in an interview with Ebony 11 years ago, "We were friends for a whole year before we decided to start dating. And even once we started dating, we waited," adding, "I lost my virginity at 25. So we even waited for a while to even get intimate." (via Us Weekly.)

Mowry shared in a recent episode of the show that she hadn't been dating for very long before meeting her ex five years before losing her virginity.

"I wasn't even allowed to date until I was 18 years old," she said. "I met Cory when I turned 20, and I lost my virginity at 25. There I said it," she quipped. "And then we got married! Boom!"

Like her aforementioned honest Instagram captions, Mowry also shares bits of insight she's learned during her journey with the public.

"[Waiting to be intimate] works for some people and it doesn’t work for some people and it’s OK. That’s what I mean by baggage,” she continued. “Know and learn and understand what baggage can you handle and what can you not handle," Mowry explained, per Us Weekly.

Tia And Tamara Mowry Are Still Tight With One Another

"Tia Mowry: My Next Act" might focus on one Mowry twin's personal journey in exploring what is on her heart. Another element of the actress' heart who may not be by her side so much these days is her beloved twin sister.

The sister duo are geographically apart from one another, but as Tia stresses, that doesn't mean she and Tamara have drifted apart, as previously reported by The Blast.

Despite Mowry's recent comments in a trailer for the show wherein she chats about wishing her sister was more accessible to her, matters are all good between the duo. After the internet suddenly wondered whether she and her "Sister Sister" counterpart were beefing, Mowry cleared the air.

"You could hear it from me, and this is basically what I was insinuating: I feel like as we grow up, we all start our own families and their children need to lean on them. We begin to take on new roles and responsibilities within our lives..." she began, adding, "In these transitions in life, sometimes you just want a hug and you just want someone to be as accessible as they used to be, and that's not the case. It's called life.."

"Tia Mowry: My Next Act" will air on WEtv on Fridays.
