American actor Channing Tatum and actress Jenna Dewan married each other in 2009. They met on the set of Step Up in 2006 and tied the knot three years later. This union also witnessed the birth of their daughter, Everly, in 2013. However, their marriage only lasted for a decade as they finalized their divorce in 2019, but still have a pending settlement. Let’s take a deeper look at the details of Tatum and Dewan’s divorce and the latest updates.
Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan divorce explained
After their separation in 2018, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan became legally single in 2019, but are yet to finalize an ongoing financial settlement.
The couple, who met on the set of the film Step Up in 2006 and married in 2009, have a daughter named Everly. While the divorce was relatively straightforward, there have been recent developments regarding the division of assets. These are mainly related to the profits from Tatum’s Magic Mike franchise. As per a report from InTouch Weekly, Dewan seeks a share of the profits while Tatum continues to resist turning over any documents.
According to court documents obtained by the aforementioned outlet, Dewan accused the actor of obstructing discovery by asking to turn over documents related to the Magic Mike businesses. However, the actor reportedly doesn’t agree with her request for 50 percent but acknowledges that she deserves a cut. He also claims that he worked on the business after their split and that should be considered while dividing the profits.
As per InTouch’s exclusive report, Dewan’s lawyer wrote, “Not only has Channing refused to produce these material documents at his deposition, he recently retained the same firm that prepared many of the documents during the marriage, namely Glaser Weil, and he is now asserting attorney-client privilege with respect to those marital documents prepared by the firm.” She further added, “Channing cannot use privilege as a sword to prevent Jenna from obtaining relevant evidence at the taking of his deposition.” While the matter remains unsettled, both parties reportedly await a judge’s ruling.
