Tia Mowry has opened up about her new boyfriend, teacher Javon’e Williams, describing his background and the rituals they share—plus how she says she “manifested” the relationship.
Tia Mowry didn’t just make her relationship Instagram official—she’s now giving fans a closer look at the man beside her.
The 47-year-old actress introduced her new boyfriend, Javon‘e Williams, about a month ago. In a new interview on SiriusXM’s Today Show Radio, she shared more about who he is and why she’s so taken with him.
“So his name is Javon’e, and he is a teacher. He also has his master’s. He studied in France. He’s an artist. He’s an avid reader,” Mowry said.
She also described the couple’s routine, including something that sounds like it’s become a weekly anchor. “Some of my favorite things that we do together is we will go to a Buddhist temple, and we will meditate. We meditate every Wednesday.”
According to Mowry, their time together isn’t limited to daytime visits. “He will read to me, like, at night before we go to bed.” She added that the books they’re currently reading are centered on co-parenting.
That detail matters, because Mowry connected it directly to his life outside the relationship: “Like, he has two kids. Our kids are around the same age, 15 and 8, boy and a girl.”
From there, her praise turned personal and specific. “He is just… He’s, he’s, he’s a wonderful human being,” she said. “And, I mean, he- some of the things that he just says, like, is, ‘How can I support you?’ His emotional intelligence is amazing.”
Her explanation of how this relationship came together is just as revealing. “I manifested this. I was telling the girls earlier. my crew. basically what I did last year was a friend of mine had told me to. listen to music. put some candles on. and just write out a list of what you would like in a partner. ” Mowry said.
She described why she thinks the timing mattered. “And I’m glad that it came around the time that it did because I really wouldn’t have known what I wanted three years ago.” She said she needed a period focused on learning herself first. “before I even figured out what it. what it was and what it is that I want.”.
Mowry also tied her approach to meditation and neuroscience. “And not only did I do that. I’m a huge believer in. like. uh. neuroscience.” She said she studies “a lot about the brain and just visuals and meditation. ” and explained the method she used: “I would literally close my eyes. and I would meditate about my partner. and I would meditate about the feeling that I would want to feel.”.
The feeling she aimed for, she said, was safety in her nervous system. “Mm. And the feeling was my nervous system being safe.”
“And that’s exactly what he does,” she added. “Like, he is… He’s amazing. Like, he’s so wonderful.”
For Mowry, this is also a major step in her public life. It’s her first public relationship since her split from ex-husband Cory Hardrict in 2023. The pair share two children—son Cree, 15, and daughter Cairo, 8.
