But Tia has remained as honest as she can about her decision to end the marriage, admitting that she finally chose to focus on her own happiness.
“I knew when I really started to focus on my happiness,” Tia told Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager about when she knew it was time to part ways with him. “I feel like as women we tend to focus on everyone else’s happiness and making sure everyone else is okay.”
Despite their union ending, Tia still considers it a “success.” She went on to say, “My marriage was a success. I look at it as a curriculum, like you’re in college or high school. You’re learning. You’re growing. You’re evolving. You’re creating. And I was able to create, with Cory, some beautiful, amazing children.”
