But Tamar wasn’t the only The Real cast member with a Kobe story to share! Tamera also talked about his appearance on her and her sister Tia Mowry’s beloved TV show Sister, Sister.
“He actually was a, a guest star on Sister, Sister,” Tamera said, to which a surprised Jeannie Mai replied, “What?” Tamera added that herself and Tia had a huge crush on the basketballer. “Yes and I remember my sister and I just looking at him and we had the biggest crush on him,” she said.
“You did?” Braxton replied. “Yes, we did. Then he took Brandy uh, to prom. You all remember that?” Tamera asked the audience with a joking frown. But she added that Kobe had a great work ethic during his time on their show. “But he was really, really focused. I can remember it. So, congratulations to Kobe. To you and your family. Very nice. Very nice,” she said. What do you think about Tamar and Kobe's throwback date? Tweet us @OKMagazine or let us know in the comments section.
