Mowry and Hardrict wed in 2008. After 14 years of marriage, the longtime couple — who share son Cree, 11, and daughter Cairo, 4 — called it quits.
Announcing the pair's separation via Instagram on Tuesday, Mowry said it wasn't an "easy" decision for the pair.
"I have always been honest with my fans, and today is no different. I wanted to share that Cory and I have decided to go our separate ways," she wrote. "These decisions are never easy, and not without sadness. We will maintain a friendship as we co-parent our beautiful children."
"I am grateful for all the happy times we had together and want to thank my friends, family and fans for your love and support as we start this new chapter moving forward in our lives," she added.
She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, though she did not list a date of separation. But she is requesting joint physical and legal custody of their children.
