use of natlib changes interface of apalike references

So I am supposed to use apalike and cite using citep and citet. In order to use those two commands, I need to use the natbib package. However, this then changes how the table of referneces is displayed. It changes from [author, year] to author, (year)

documentclass{article}

%usepackage{natbib}

begin{document}
    
    text cite{hawking}
    %text citep{hawking}.
    
    bibliographystyle{apalike}
    bibliography{sample}
end{document}  

To see what I mean, just uncomment the two lines

This is sample.bib:

@book{hawking,
          title     = "A Brief History of Time: From the {B}ig {B}ang to Black Holes",
          author    = "Stephen Hawking and Stephen Spielberg",
          year      = 1988,
          publisher = "Bantam",
          address   = "London",
          edition=3
        }
