The Mowrys are a very tight family. They never get tired of doing things together and enjoy each others company.

"We love our family so much", says Tia.

Tia and Tamera live in San Fernando Valley in L.A. with their Mom Darlene Mowry, their Dad Timothy Mowry, and two brothers - Tahj and Tavior. The family has a unique naming system which was originally developed by their aunt Jackie. All four kids have first names starting with a T. That's because their fathers name starts with a T. In addition they all have middle names starting with a D - that's from Mother Darlene. So the complete names of the four Mowry-siblings are as follows (in order of birth): Tamera Darvette Mowry, Tia Dashon Mowry, Tahj Dayton Mowry and Tavior Dante Mowry.
Their dad is white, their mother African-American.

The twins always praise their parents for all the talents they inherited. And what a good job those parents did in raising their children. The Mowry kids never did let the fame and glamour get to their heads. As any normal teenagers Tia and Tamera have chores around the house, and have scheduled times to baby-sit their brother Tavior. They also help their other brother Tahj with his homework.

When the family moved to L.A. in order for Tia and Tamera to pursue an acting career, Tahj was actually the first family member to succeed in that area. He started doing commercial and scored a the part as Teddy in 'Full House'. He later moved on to star in his own WB sitcom 'Smart Guy'. His birthday is May 17. He made his He was a guest star on 'Friends', 'Out All Night', 'Minor Adjustments', 'Sister Sister' among others. He has also danced in videos with Michael Jackson, Prince and Mariah Carey.
