As the former The Real co-host opened up about how Tia, 44, has handled her divorce from Cory Hardrict, she noted how happy her sibling has seemed lately.

"I told her, I said, 'Tia, I'm looking on your Instagram, this is the happiest you've been in a long time. You are glowing!'" Tamera, also 44, told Entertainment Tonight. "'You look different, but In a very positive way!'"

"I think it's because — no, I know it's because she is living her authentic, true self," the You Should Sit Down for This continued. "And I think that is what everyone should do. And it's not easy! That's the thing, it's scary."

Tamera said she also told The Game alum she's "so proud" of her because she's "showing other women — and hell, even men — that you walk in your truth." Adding of Tia, the fellow former child star said her sister is "very, very strong and inspiring."
