"Whatever you see on camera is real, like my son actually thinks that he's my father," Mowry quipped about Cree's frequent appearances in her videos. "But I see it as like he's my protector, you know? And he just has, even though sometimes he doesn't want to do it, he has a lot of fun doing it."
"I am really, really enjoying this journey of solitude... I took a little break with dating.I'm dating me right now. Right now, I am becoming the partner that I want, so that takes time,"the actress told ET. "I have been in solitude learning a lot about myself. I'm reading this new book called Brave New You by Corey Allen, and it has been so fantastic."
The Sister Sister star continued, "I just want to encourage women out there that you don't have to jump into a relationship and have this sort of rebound. Work on you, work on yourself and [the timing will align].I'm enjoying myself, you know what I mean?"

According to a press release, the show -- which was announced in April -- will follow Mowry "as she navigates her newly single status, motherhood, building businesses, and juggling her super busy and ever-evolving career."
"It's all about me just attacking this journey alone, to be honest with you, and I feel like it'll be really relatable," Mowry told ET about her reality series. "I'm all about inspiring and encouraging women, women empowerment, and I'm encouraging people to be courageous as they go through transitions in life, whether it's a divorce, a change in a job, a loss, whatever.
"If I can be that source of inspiration then I feel like I am doing what I'm supposed to be doing," she added.
