For her laid-back outing, the mother-of-two sported a pair of black sunglasses perched on top of her head, large hoop earrings, matching bracelets and a black Fendi handbag.

Speaking about their marriage back in 2015, Tia told HuffPost Live that she and Cory ‘don’t put gender roles’ on their marriage.
‘We don’t put gender roles on our marriage and our relationship. If I’m working a lot and Cory’s home, he will put Cree to bed, and if dishes need to be washed, he will wash them,’ she said. ‘So it’s not like, “Oh, I’m going to wait until my wife gets home and she’s going to be doing all that.”‘
She also described the benefits a partnership has on her own dreams.
