Actors Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan have settled their divorce after six years of separation, avoiding a trial that was scheduled to begin in December. The settlement includes terms regarding asset splitting and custody of their 13-year-old daughter, Everly. The details of the settlement have been kept confidential and still need to be approved by a judge. Both Tatum and Dewan have moved on to other long-term relationships, with Tatum dating Zoe Kravitz and Dewan with Steve Kazee, with whom she shares two children. The couple first met while co-starring in the 2006 dance movie “Step Up” and got married in 2009.
After announcing their separation in April 2018, Tatum and Dewan filed for divorce six months later, with a judge declaring them divorced and single in November 2019. However, a prolonged legal battle over finances and custody continued, leading to the upcoming trial. Dewan had been pushing for two separate trials, one for custody and one for finances, while Tatum had objected to this approach. The settlement now allows them to avoid the public scrutiny of a trial and move forward with their lives separately.
Channing Tatum, known for his roles in “Magic Mike,” “21 Jump Street,” and other films, took a step back from acting following the split to focus on being a father. He mentioned in a 2022 interview that he became consumed with fatherhood, causing him to lose track of time for almost four years. Dewan, on the other hand, continued to work in dance films and now has a regular role on the ABC series “The Rookie.” Both actors have found success in their respective careers post-divorce, with Tatum making a comeback in the film “Blink Twice” directed by Kravitz.
The settlement marks the end of a long chapter in the lives of Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, who were once a beloved Hollywood couple. Despite the challenges they faced during the divorce process, they have managed to come to an agreement that allows them to move forward amicably. Their relationship began in the world of dance, and now they are both thriving in their careers in the entertainment industry. The settlement agreement, while confidential, signifies a resolution to the financial and custody disputes that have been ongoing since the divorce proceedings began.
By avoiding a trial and reaching a settlement, Tatum and Dewan have chosen to prioritize their own well-being and that of their daughter, Everly. The decision to keep the details of the settlement private reflects their desire to maintain some level of privacy amidst their high-profile careers. While the divorce process may have been challenging, both actors are now able to focus on their respective careers and relationships moving forward. The settlement brings a sense of closure to a chapter in their lives and signals a new beginning for them individually.
