Personal life

Hardrict was born in Chicago, Illinois. After dating for six years, he and actress Tia Mowry became engaged on Christmas Day 2006.[3] On April 20, 2008, they married in Santa Barbara, California.[4] In 2011, Mowry's first pregnancy was chronicled on the reality TV show Tia & Tamera starring her and her twin sister on the Style Network.[5] Hardrict and Mowry have a son named Cree Taylor born on June 28, 2011,[6][7][8] and a daughter named Cairo Tiahna who was born on May 5, 2018.[9][10] On October 4, 2022, it was announced that the pair had separated due to irreconcilable differences.[11] They finalized their divorce in April 2023.[12]

Career

Hardrict began his career on television during the late 1990s, with appearances in weekly prime-time programs including Smart Guy, That's So Raven, Felicity, Once and Again and ER. He made his film debut in the 1999 romantic comedy Never Been Kissed, starring Drew Barrymore, followed by a role in the drama Crazy/Beautiful (2001). Hardrict has also appeared in Creature Unknown (2004), Miles from Home (2006), and Driftwood (2006).

In 1999, Hardrict co-starred in the film Hollywood Horror with his future wife Tia Mowry and her twin sister Tamera Mowry. In 2007, he had a recurring role on the ABC Family series Lincoln Heights and executive produced the film Neighborhood Watch, in which he also starred.[13] The following year, Hardrict had a supporting role in the movie Gran Torino directed by and starring Clint Eastwood.[14] That same year, he was cast as singer Brandy's love interest in the music video for her song "Right Here (Departed)".[15]

In 2009, he appeared in the romantic comedy He's Just Not That Into You, and the drama Dough Boys. Hardrict also had a guest appearance on the CW show The Game (alongside then-wife Tia Mowry) as the cable guy in the "Hill Street Blues" episode. Hardrict later appeared as Ryan in the pilot episode of the CBS sitcom Accidentally on Purpose. However, he was subsequently replaced by Pooch Hall (his then-wife's co-star from The Game).[16]

In 2014, Hardrict had a role in the film American Sniper, which reunited him with director Clint Eastwood.[17] In 2015, he played June, the older brother who takes care of his family by any means necessary, in the film Brotherly Love co-starring Keke Palmer and Eric D.
