Hollywood’s favorite former couple, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, has finally closed the book on their long-standing divorce saga, six years after announcing their split. What began as an amicable separation turned into a drawn-out legal drama, with both stars navigating the complicated waters of co-parenting, career demands, and personal growth.
The couple, who met on the set of the 2006 film Step Up, were once the epitome of relationship goals. Their chemistry was undeniable, both on and off-screen, and they quickly became one of Hollywood’s most beloved pairs. Fans were stunned when they announced their separation in 2018, calling the end of their nearly decade-long marriage “amicable” and “mutual.”
However, behind the scenes, the reality of divorce proved far more complicated than expected.
The biggest sticking point? A prolonged disagreement over the custody of their daughter, Everly. Both Tatum and Dewan were committed to being involved in their daughter’s life, but finding a balance that worked with their busy schedules proved difficult. The former couple also faced challenges regarding their joint financial ventures, which further delayed the finalization of their divorce.
For years, the legal battle dragged on, as both stars moved forward with their lives. Dewan found love with actor Steve Kazee, with whom she welcomed a son in 2020, while Tatum’s high-profile relationship with singer Jessie J garnered significant media attention, though it has since ended.
Despite their personal lives evolving, the unresolved issues from their marriage loomed large—until now.
Six years later, the former couple has finally reached an agreement. Reports indicate they’ve settled on a co-parenting plan that ensures Everly will continue to spend meaningful time with both parents. In addition, financial disagreements over their shared assets have been resolved, allowing both parties to move forward without further legal entanglements.
This marks the official close of their divorce drama, freeing them from the legal complexities that had persisted for years.
While their love story didn’t have the happily-ever-after ending that fans once hoped for, Tatum and Dewan’s ability to finally resolve their differences is a testament to their shared commitment to maintaining a positive environment for their daughter.
As they step into this new chapter of their lives, the couple’s journey serves as a reminder that even Hollywood’s most glamorous romances can face challenges—and that the path to resolution, though lengthy, is ultimately worth it when it comes to family and personal growth.
Six years later, the final chapter has been written. The drama may be over, but both Tatum and Dewan are undoubtedly ready for their next acts.
