Tamera Mowry and husband Adam Housley have a love story for the ages — but they took time to make sure their romance was meant to last before getting serious.
While the pair met at Pepperdine University in the early 2000s after an economics professor set them up, the Sister, Sister alum and the California native dated for six years — and then took a year apart — before eventually tying the knot in 2011.
“[In order to know] if we are meant to be together, we said, ‘It’s got to be God’s way and not our way,’” Mowry told Ebony.com in October 2012, revealing that the couple also decided to remain celibate until marriage.
She continued: “Our right way was the way we felt God wanted us to do it which was being celibate. We said to God, ‘This is who we are, I know you take us as we are, our faults, our fears, our joys, our hope as a couple and have your way.’”
After realizing that they had each found “The One,” the twosome got engaged in January 2011 and tied the knot four months later. In November 2012, Us Weekly confirmed that the couple had welcomed their first child together, son Aven John Tanner. Daughter Ariah was born in December 2020.
