Jenna Dewan, actress and dancer, recently made headlines after finalizing her divorce from actor Channing Tatum. In a bold move, Jenna took to social media to share a cheeky and lighthearted post just days after the legal end of their marriage, subtly referencing another famous celebrity split.
On her Instagram story, Jenna shared a well-known photo of actress Nicole Kidman taken in 2001 after Kidman finalized her own divorce from actor Tom Cruise. In the iconic image, Nicole is seen leaving her lawyer’s office looking visibly relieved. The image has since become a meme symbolizing post-divorce freedom and relief, and Jenna’s use of the photo seems to hint that she, too, feels a sense of liberation following the conclusion of her divorce.
In addition to the Instagram story, Jenna also posted a carousel of photos on her Instagram feed, which included selfies, family moments, and sweet snapshots of her fiancé, Steve Kazee, and their two children, Callum and Ranan. She captioned the post with the words “Thank you, Universe,” alongside a prayer hands emoji, further suggesting that she is feeling grateful and ready for a fresh chapter in her life.
The post also included rare photos of her daughter, Everly, whom she shares with Channing Tatum. Jenna and Channing were married for eight years before announcing their separation in 2018. They share an 11-year-old daughter, Everly, and have both committed to co-parenting her with love and dedication.
In a joint statement released at the time of their split, the couple explained that they had “lovingly chosen to separate” and that there were no secrets or dramatic events behind their decision. They described their breakup as a natural progression, stating that they had grown apart but remained best friends and devoted parents to Everly.
After years of navigating the legal complexities of their divorce, Jenna and Channing have finally reached a settlement. According to documents obtained by E! News, both parties agreed to waive spousal support and work out any future custody disputes privately with the assistance of a judge.
One of the major sticking points during the divorce proceedings was the earnings from Channing’s Magic Mike franchise, with Jenna accusing him of transferring profits into a trust without her knowledge. Channing denied these claims, and after six years of legal back-and-forth, the two have now put the matter to rest.
Today, both Jenna and Channing have moved on to new relationships. Channing is currently engaged to actress Zoë Kravitz, while Jenna is happily engaged to Steve Kazee. In an interview, Jenna shared her thoughts on co-parenting with Channing, explaining that it has been a learning process.
She acknowledged that life shifts and evolves, and co-parenting requires flexibility and a commitment to putting the kids first. She emphasized that their priority will always be Everly’s happiness and well-being, regardless of any personal challenges they face.
As Jenna moves forward with her new chapter, she appears to be embracing life with optimism and gratitude. Her playful social media posts signal that she is ready to leave the past behind and focus on the future with her growing family.
