00:04 The Sister Sister star was doing press at the Esque's Black Women in Hollywood Awards

00:08 when she spotted her ex-husband, who also appeared to be speaking with media right next

00:12 to her.

00:13 The 45-year-old actress laughed and waved to Corey before the two brought it in for

00:16 a semi-awkward hug.

00:17 HuffPost caught the moment on video and posted it to social media.

00:29 The former couple finalized their divorce last year after 14 years of marriage and maintain

00:34 a co-parenting dynamic for their two children.

00:36 They even spent the past Thanksgiving together along with their kids posting the sweet moment

00:40 to social media.

00:41 Back in 2022, Tia had announced her and Corey's split in a heartfelt Instagram, writing in

00:45 part, "These decisions are never easy and not without sadness."

00:50 Access Hollywood caught up with the actress on the red carpet at Thursday's Essence

00:53 Black Women in Hollywood Awards, where she reflected on approaching the 30-year anniversary

00:57 of Sister Sister.

00:58 "Of course, we're approaching the 30th anniversary of Sister Sister.

01:02 What do you remember most about that time in your life?

01:05 What was maybe the biggest impact that show had on you outside of the obvious?"

01:09 "I think the biggest impact that show had on me is really being able to believe in a

01:16 dream.

01:17 I mean, at such a young age, I mean, I was 14 years old when, you know, that show came

01:25 on the air and then it was just, you know, this incredible, massive hit.

01:31 But I think, I just feel so blessed to be able to have been given such a great moment,

01:38 you know what I mean, at such a young age.

01:40 I think it's helped me as I've gotten older.

01:43 Whenever I feel lost or like, 'Oh my gosh, I can't do this,' I actually look back at,

01:49 you know, when I was younger and I was like, 'Wow, you know what I mean, Tia?

01:52 You know, all things are possible.'

01:56 But yeah, I would say that.

01:57 Being able to see a dream, you know, come into fruition at such a young age is a blessing,

02:02 you know?

02:03 And I'm doing it with my sister, you know?

02:05 Having that built-in support, which is, it was wonderful because, you know, it's scary,

02:13 you know, becoming this child actor at such a young age.

02:16 But to be able to have someone that's going through it at the same time and right beside

02:21 you and next to you, it didn't feel so scary.

02:24 So I feel very blessed.
