Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Finalize Divorce Six Years Post-Separation
Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, parents to their 11-year-old daughter Everly, have finalized their divorce after a lengthy six-year separation. Both have reportedly waived spousal support as part of the agreement.
The former couple, who gained fame as co-stars in Step Up, officially concluded their divorce proceedings after an ongoing dispute largely centered on Channing's earnings from the Magic Mike franchise. This resolution has allowed them to avoid a trial that was scheduled for December.
While full details of the settlement remain private, it has been confirmed that both Channing and Jenna agreed to settle any future custody disagreements with judicial assistance. They are committed to maintaining a cooperative co-parenting relationship for the sake of their daughter Everly.
Jenna filed for divorce in 2018 and recently raised concerns regarding Channing’s management of the earnings from their jointly acquired intellectual property related to Magic Mike. She alleged that he placed these earnings into an irrevocable trust and transferred licensing rights without her knowledge.
"I have never denied Petitioner her share of any community assets or income. I have always agreed for Petitioner to have an interest in the Magic Mike intellectual property and related entities," Channing stated in response.
The actor emphasized that throughout their marriage, Jenna had equal access to financial records and business managers, asserting that she used these claims as a tactic to prolong legal proceedings and escalate litigation costs.
"Her request was devoid of any legal or factual support," Channing argued concerning Jenna's attempt to disqualify his lawyers just months before trial.
This long-standing legal battle showcases the complexities often involved in high-profile divorces, particularly when significant assets are at stake. As they move forward separately, both seem intent on prioritizing their daughter's well-being amidst this transition.
