Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan officially end their marriage after 6 years without going to trial

0

Actors Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan have come to an agreement to finalize their divorce, ending their prolonged legal battle and avoiding a scheduled trial. The pair initially filed for divorce six years ago, and have since moved on to new long-term relationships.

In a court filing made on Wednesday, Tatum and Dewan have mutually agreed on the terms of their settlement, preventing the need for a public trial that was set to address the division of assets and custody arrangements for their 13-year-old daughter, Everly. The specifics of the settlement have not been disclosed, pending the judge’s approval of the agreement.

Channing Tatum is currently in a relationship with actor and director Zoë Kravitz, while Jenna Dewan has found love with actor Steve Kazee, with whom she shares two children. Both actors started their careers as dancers in music videos and crossed paths as co-stars in the 2006 movie “Step Up,” leading to their marriage in July 2009.

Following their decision to amicably separate in 2018, Tatum and Dewan remained on friendly terms, emphasizing their commitment to co-parenting Everly. Despite officially finalizing their divorce in 2019, the ex-couple continued to engage in a legal battle over financial matters and custody arrangements.

Before reaching the recent settlement, Jenna Dewan had been advocating for separate trials to address custody and financial issues, a proposition that Channing Tatum opposed. Tatum, known for his roles in films like “Magic Mike” and “21 Jump Street,” took a step back from acting in the immediate aftermath of the divorce, citing his focus on fatherhood as a primary reason for the hiatus.

Jenna Dewan, on the other hand, continued to pursue her acting career and can be seen in the ABC series “The Rookie,” following her success in various dance films post-“Step It Up.” Despite their legal battles, both actors have seemingly moved forward in their personal and professional lives, bringing a sense of closure to their past relationship through this settlement agreement.
