In July 2013, Mowry revealed that she did not lose her virginity until she was 29 due to her being a devout Christian, and that after she did it, she felt guilty and committed to staying chaste until marriage.

The couple welcomed their first child, a son named Aden John Tanner Housley, on November 12, 2012.
