When it comes to resilience, Jenna Dewan is no rookie.
Indeed, four months after she and Channing Tatum—parents to 11-year-old daughter Everly—finalized their divorce following six years of proceedings, the Step Up actress shared what she learned through their at-times turbulent divorce battle.
“In 2024, especially, I learned a lot about myself, my resilience, and my voice,” Jenna wrote in an essay for InStyle published Jan. 22. “I learned to let go of over-accommodating in my relationships and to sit with uncomfortability. What it really means to trust.”
And Jenna—who also shares son Callum, 4, and daughter Rhiannon, 7 months, with fiancé Steve Kazee—admitted that she learned a lot through her life’s latest hurdles.
As she explained, “I can truly say I greet each challenge with a question of ‘why is this here and what is it here to teach me?’ Sometimes things break because you don’t fit in that vessel anymore and that’s okay.”
And a new chapter for Jenna—who separated from Channing in 2018 after nine years of marriage—has already begun.

“Fresh starts, I’ve realized, don’t wait for calendars or big proclamations,” she posited. “They happen in the quiet choices: forgiving yourself, showing up again, trusting the process even when it feels hopeless.”
Now, Jenna gushed that she has happier things on her horizon, adding, “I am so grateful for my family, the love and presence of my partner, Steve, and the adventures we will have this year. I see some travel, lots of family laughs, and, most importantly, maybe a wedding finally!”
Channing, meanwhile, is embarking on several fresh starts of his own. Amid his and Jenna’s divorce proceedings settled, the Magic Mike star also called off his engagement with former fiancé Zoe Kravitz in October, after nearly four years together.

Although Channing and Jenna are balancing changes for themselves, the couple have made it clear that their number one priority is Everly.
As Jenna emphasized to People in June, “Kids always come first. How you feel about your kids. How you treat your kids. Kids always come first above everything else.”
Now that the dust has officially settled on their relationship, keep reading for a full timeline of Jenna and Channing’s divorce battle…

While Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan were declared legally separated in 2019 after eight years of marriage, the Step Up costars remain in dispute over financial matters. They are parents to daughter Everly, born May 31, 2013.

In April 2024, Dewan filed documents requesting that she and Tatum "testify regarding all issues related to the parties’ marriage including business and financial activities."
She also submitted a preliminary exhibit list that requests personal and corporate tax returns and other financial documents, including those regarding profits from the Magic Mike franchise.

The Rookie actress alleges in the case that they acquired the Magic Mike intellectual property together. She accuses Tatum of putting its earnings into "an irrevocable trust" and transferred licensing rights to a third party without telling her, People reported, citing court documents.
Tatum disputed her claim in his own filing, obtained by E! News.
"The Magic Mike intellectual property was created during marriage and various entities that relate to the intellectual property were created during marriage and after separation," the documents state. "[Tatum] has expended extensive efforts since separation towards the enhancement of the Magic Mike intellectual property and related entities, which [he] contends give rise to his separate property interest therein."
The court, his attorney notes in the filing, "will need to allocate the community interest and [Tatum's] separate property interest in the intellectual property and related entities in consideration of [his] post-separation efforts."

In his own preliminary witness list, filed in court one day after Dewan submitted her documents and also obtained by E! News, Tatum included his ex-wife's fiancé Steve Kazee.

After Dewan accused her ex of hiding part of his earnings, Tatum—who is engaged to Zoë Kravitz—filed new documents May 2024 claiming her accusations are false.
"I have never denied Petitioner her share of any community assets or income," he said. "I have always agreed for Petitioner to have an interest in the Magic Mike intellectual property and related entities."
He continued, "During our marriage, Petitioner had equal access to our business managers and financial records. We communicated about our work and various projects on a regular basis. Since our separation, Petitioner has had complete access to all our financial records for all activities during our marriage and since separation."
The documents also argue that Jenna's petition are intended to further hold up their divorce.
"It is designed to delay the processing of the case and increase the expense of litigation and will not, in any way, promote 'early resolution by settlement,'" the documents argue, "in a case where five separate mediation sessions have resulted in Petitioner's simply ignoring a tendered proposed judgment for months."

Tatum and Dewan finalized their divorce in September 2024 after a six-year long battle.
Both parties mutually agreed to waive spousal support and also agreed that should they need to work out any future disagreements over custody regarding daughter Everly, they would do so privately with a judge.
Since reaching an agreement, the couple avoided another trial that was set for December 2024.
