He has left his fans concerned, and they are keeping the actor in their prayers. Channing had shared a picture of himself, ready for surgery and fighting through whatever comes his way. However, did you know that the actor had a painful breakup and divorce from his ex-wife, Jenna Dewan?
For the unversed, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan met on the set of Step Up in 2006. Their chemistry on the screen had turned into a full-fledged romance, and the ex-couple tied the knot on July 11, 2009, back in Malibu, California. They were among the most well-known pairs in Hollywood. However, the ex-couple separated after nine years together.
Channing Tatum's ex-wife, Jenna Dewan, was reportedly born in Hartford, California, on December 3, 1980. She began dancing at a very early age and later pursued it professionally. Jenna reportedly used to choreograph professionally and also do backup dance work for many famous music artists. Slowly and steadily, she ventured into acting, and it was with Step Up that she got a breakthrough role. Step Up had set the stage for Jenna, and it was easy for her to enter Hollywood as she was loved by her global fans.
According to a report by EOnline.com, Channing and Jenna's divorce was finalised in November 2019, and their split took five more years to occur, as the ex-couple reportedly tangled over money. According to the report, Jenna felt she deserved a large share of the money after Channing's success with Magic Mike. The movie was inspired by his own life of working as a stri**er before his career took off. It was one of the reasons that held up the divorce proceedings.
The report stated that the court documents presented by Jenna's lawyers indicated that the actor had received his break with Magic Mike, "which, along with the underlying intellectual property, was developed and co-financed by Channing during their marriage with community effort and marital funds." His business opportunities expanded further when the movie had two sequels, and she asked for a big cut.
Another report mentioned that Channing and Jenna waived spousal support and agreed to handle the custody issues privately. For the unversed, it was in April 2018 that the ex-couple announced their separation, leaving fans invested in Channing and Jenna heartbroken. The ex-couple has a daughter, Everly Elizabeth Maiselle Tatum, and their divorce statement mentioned that they separated amicably.
In their divorce statement, Channing Tatum and his ex-wife, Jenna Dewan, said that at the root of their decision were no secrets or salacious events, and called their love a beautiful adventure together. The ex-couple in the joint note mentioned that they were best friends whose relationship had run its course. They realised that they had to take some space, and a part of the divorce statement of Channing and Jenna read:
"We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple. We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together. Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now.”
The ex-couple in the note also mentioned lovingly separating as a couple. Their fans were upset seeing them separate, and a user on X reacted to the statement saying, "What a beautiful sentiment. It's unfortunate that most people can't come to such a realisation, so lovingly. I'm sorry your journey has ended, but may both of you have a beautiful friendship going forward and lives filled with happiness." Another upset and unhappy fan wrote, "I respect you with all my heart, but c'mon. What is your marriage? A college degree you can graduate from? A marriage is something you work on until the end of your lives, hence 'til death do us part, not 'til it runs its course. Why do you do this?"
According to a report by Geo TV, Jenna may walk down the aisle after separating from Channing. In 2020, the actress got engaged to Steve Kazee, and if everything falls into place, the couple may get married in 2026. For the unversed, Jenna and Steve are blessed with two children- Callum Michael Rebel Kazee and Rhiannon Lee Kathryn Kazee.
