Los Angeles: Hollywood actors Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan have finally reached a mutual agreement to finalise their divorce six years after their breakup.
According to People magazine, both waived spousal support to avoid a trial that was set for December.
Dewan, 43, had earlier alleged in court filings that Tatum, 44, is “attempting to blur the lines” around ‘Magic Mike’ intellectual property, which her legal team maintains was developed during their relationship and co-financed with marital funds.
The Daily Mail was first to report news of the divorce settlement. Tatum, 44, and Dewan, 43, separated in 2018 after nearly nine years of marriage, as Dewan filed for divorce from the actor in October 2018.
According to ‘People,’ they met on the set of Step Up in 2006 and were engaged two years later. In 2009, they got married in Malibu. They welcomed daughter Everly in 2013. The years-long divorce proceedings featured a clash over the profits connected to the Magic Mike franchise, which began during their marriage.
Dewan’s attorneys maintained throughout the divorce that the film was developed during her relationship with Tatum and co-financed with marital funds. At the same time, Tatum’s legal team has argued in the past that he has never hidden finances or denied Dewan “her share of the community assets or income”.
Tatum is currently engaged to actress-director Zoe Kravitz, who has directed him in his ‘Blink Twice’. The two have been romantically linked since 2021. Dewan is engaged to Steve Kazee, with whom she shares two additional children, Callum, 4, and baby Rhiannon, born in June. A source had shared in April that Dewan wanted her divorce from Tatum “settled before she gets married again”, even though both she and Tatum were declared legally single by a judge in November 2019.
