Marques Houston still has a group chat with Sister Sister co-stars Tia and Tamera Mowry 30 years after show wrapped

The core cast of Sister, Sister aren't letting their friendship fade away. 

Nearly 30 years after their iconic series came to an end, Marques Houston has revealed he is in a group chat with former co-stars Tia and Tamera Mowry. 

Houston, 45, who played the twins' neighbor Roger Evans, told The Daily Mail he had just spoken with the sisters the day prior. 

'Yeah, just talk to them the other day, like yesterday,' he said at the premiere of the new Turnstr film, Forever, This Ring in Hollywood last week. 

Houston said they were 'just catching up' during their latest conversation before confirming the existence of a group chat.  

'There is,' he said when asked a joint text thread. 

From 1994 to 1999, Houston played Roger Evans, the neighbor of Tia and Tamera who harbored a crush on the twins. 

The show followed twins Tia Landry (Tia) and Tamera Mowry-Housley (Tamera), sisters who were separated at birth before they were reunited as teenage girls.

Their adopted parents decide to all move in together as a family, and their blended family dominated airwaves for five years. 

Sister, Sister eventually ended in 1999 but the cast have clearly remained close ever since. 

In 2015, Marques appeared on Tamera's talk show The Real - where they recounted their nearly life-long friendship.

'Marques and I have pretty much known each other our whole life. I met you know you were like nine, right?' Tamera said, to which he agreed. 'Ana we're still friends now!'

'He even went to my wedding, which was amazing!' she added. 

The duo also had a laugh remembering the unusual nickname they had for one another. 

'We actually have a nickname for each other,' she said. 'Do you still remember it?' 

'Poopoo Nene!' they said. 

'It's like a Poopoo Nene is just what you are!' Houston said before they made babbling noises to one another. 

'I can't explain it!' Tamera said. 'You guys, he's just my Poopoo Nene!' 

Seven years later, their friendship was still going strong. 

'We’re all married, we all have families now. We all continue to text each other and keep in touch,' he told KTLA in 2022.

'We’re actually planning something where we all want to, kind of, go get our families together and hang out soon.'

Houston, who went on to star in You Got Served, Fat Albert, landed the part of Roger after beginning his career in music.

A former member of the R&B group Immature who has since released multiple albums, Houston said he will always have a 'sensitive spot' for his musical passion.  

'That's where it all started for me,' he told The Daily Mail. 'So I'm always gonna have a sensitive spot for music. But I love filming.'

Houston now stars opposite Taye Diggs in Forever, This Ring, a psychological thriller starring Diggs as a perpetual bachelor who falls for the wrong woman. 

It's a film Houston not only plays a big role in on screen but also off. 

The screenplay was co-written by Houston after he was pitched a concept that got his 'creative juices flowing.' 

'We collab with TDE films, Top Dog Entertainment. Shout out to Top Dog,' he said. 'They brought us an idea, and I was like, you know what?

'This idea really, really just got my creative juices flowing.'
