Tamera Mowry Drinks Sister Tia’s Breast Milk After Falling Ill, Hoping It Will Cure Her Sickness
Article via People
Tamera Mowry-Housley is relying on Tia Mowry-Hardrict to get better — but not in the way you might think!
After Tamera, 40, recently came down with an illness and desperately searched for remedies, she finally turned to her twin sister.
Instead of suggestions for medicine or herbal remedies, Tia provided Tamera with some breast milk as she had just read an article suggesting it can be beneficial for adults.
While the thought of drinking a woman’s breast milk isn’t most people’s go to when they aren’t well, The Real host had nothing but praise for her sister’s secretions.
Recording a video on her Instagram, Tamera held a coffee cup filled with the milk and declared it the “best milk” she’s ever tried, and claimed she was already on the mend.
“Oh my gosh, Tia, this is amazing,” Tamera said in the clip as she held up the cup of liquid. “Your breast milk is the best milk I’ve ever tried in my life, oh my god.”
She also captioned the video, which altered her face and voice through a silly filter, with, “Well, I do feel better ??♀️”
Meanwhile, Tia — who welcomed her daughter in May last year — found humor in the situation and posted the video of her sick sister on her Instagram, as well.
“Soooo, my sister is desperate for some healing,” she wrote. “She’s sicky poo and I sent her an article on how breast milk has healing properties and was okay with drinking my #breastmilk.”
“Ps, she’s had some before and I mean, she’s my twin,” she added. “Here’s what she had to say.”
Though Tamera was a fan of the breast milk, many experts have advised against adults drinking breast milk, as well as consuming milk from donors who sell it online, as it poses a major risk to people’s health.
The American Pregnancy Association says that breast milk for newborns contains the “perfect combination of proteins, fats, vitamins and carbohydrates” which is essential for their development. Adults, however, break down those nutritional aspects differently than babies, CBS News reported.
In addition, human breast milk can contain dangerous impurities, such as infectious diseases including hepatitis, HIV and syphilis, and bacterial food-borne illnesses if the milk is not properly sanitized and/or stored, CBS News said.
Elisa Zied, a registered dietitian nutritionist in New York, also echoed those sentiments.
“Human breast milk [is] designed to nourish babies — not grown [adults],” Zied told Today. “Bottom line: I find the idea of an adult using human breast milk for health benefits unsubstantiated by science.”
For those who are purchasing breast milk from donors online, they run another risk of ingesting whatever prescription drugs, illicit drugs, alcohol, and food the mother had consumed, according to Dr. Sarah Steele of Queen Mary University of London, who co-authored an editorial in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine.
“Human breast milk is not delivering the nutritional benefit it touts online,” Steele told CBS News.
Tia welcomed her daughter Cairo Tiahna with husband Cory Hardrict on May 5 and has been soaking up every moment of motherhood since.
In August, Tia told PEOPLE that motherhood has strengthened her relationship with her twin sister, who also has 6-year-old son Aden John Tanner and 3-year-old daughter Ariah Talea with husband Adam Housley.
“Our lives are very busy. She lives up north and I live in Southern California. But what’s so amazing is how our children are what really, really brings us closer together,” she said. “It is the most beautiful thing to see.”
“When you see the kids play together it’s just so amazing and beautiful,” she continued. “It makes me realize how blessed we really are.”
“No matter how busy we get or how we have our separate lives with our separate families, we have children that really bring us together,” Tia explained. “The kids are so close and get a long so well. They act more like siblings.”

‘The Real’ Co-Hosts Explain Why They Never Replaced Tamar Braxton After Dramatic Exit
“You’re leaving too?” Tamera Mowry-Housley asks celebrity make up artist Renny Vasquez with that signature pout we all fell in love with on Sister, Sister.
He along with several other members of The Real‘s glam squad had been with the co-hosts since 5 a.m. that morning, and it was now close to 5 p.m. in the evening.
“OK! I love you!” she says when he confirms that he indeed has to run.
As Mowry-Housley plops down onto the couch beside her co-host, Adrienne Houghton, she scratches at a persistent stain on the singer’s knee. It was the smallest of gestures between the two co-hosts, but one you’d only expect from a sister just making sure her girl looks presentable for the last interview of the day.
When the ladies of The Real are in a room together, it is a complete love fest peppered with inside jokes. And the love is contagious. No one is exempt from it. Not this interviewer, not the make up artist, not even the show’s publicist.
Five seasons after being placed together by some very smart executives at 495 and Telepictures Productions, the co-hosts of The Real have sort of crossed the burning sands. Their Emmy win is proof of that. Their guests — which have included Issa Rae, Jada Pinkett Smith and forever first lady Michelle Obama — is also proof.
And they’ve been through some things. Most of which they’re happy to open up about during their popular “Girl Chat” segment.
“Back when you used to watch our show we had lots of games,” Jeannie Mai admitted. “Now, we’ve gotten so close and intimate with our fans, it’s a lot of ‘Girl Chat’ because we have a lot to talk about.”
“When you’re vulnerable, that’s when people start relating…and that is a powerful and beautiful thing,” Mowry-Housley added.
“There was a time when we were flooded with talk shows and they were just chopping them after the second season,” Loni Love continued. “We are continuing because…you have this chemistry of women who are discovering themselves, and opening themselves up and people are relating all across the world.”
Co-host and big sister of the foursome, Love, said proudly that “the hosts have not changed” during all five seasons. But fans who’ve been with them since earlier seasons have noticed one person indeed dropped the line — or if we’re forgetting the sorority analogy altogether — was forced off the show after season two.
The co-hosts only recently decided to open up about Tamar Braxton’s 2016 departure during their New York City press run earlier this month.
“That’s embarrassing when you get let go of a show. That’s embarrassing so sometimes it’s better to just not say nothing and let the process play out,” Love said of why the co-hosts remained silent. “Timing is everything.”
Mai added, “And we couldn’t say anything either because we have a job to uphold, and we also didn’t know what was going on because it’s just our job.”
Houghton said it’s also the reason why The Real hasn’t replaced Braxton, even after rumors swirled that she was being replaced by reality stars Joseline Hernandez, or Ray J.
“The same way we can’t get rid of people on the show, we also can’t stop them from adding one,” Houghton said, noting that the co-hosts preference is for the slot to remain unfilled.
She added that the ordeal was hard on the hosts, but it’s forged a sisterly bond between the foursome — one that they don’t take for granted.
“In all honesty, there was a moment in time when we said, ‘Why is this happening to us?’” Houghton recalled. “But because of going through that, we more than ever value this…and what we went through has made our bond so much stronger. And we’re grateful for that so we value this; its precious to us; and we don’t allow anything to infiltrate this.”
Looking over at Houghton, Mowry-Housley chimed in, finishing her sentence, “You can’t force this.”
