Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Celebrate Daughter Everly's Dance Triumph After Long Divorce Battle

In an uplifting turn of events following their lengthy divorce proceedings, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan were seen celebrating their daughter Everly's recent achievements in the world of dance. The 11-year-old, a product of their union, took part in an Irish dancing competition this past weekend and came home with not one but two sparkling trophies!

The proud dad, known for his roles in films like Magic Mike, took to Instagram to share a carousel of photos showcasing Everly in her stunning green and gold dance costume. “There are absolutely no words for how proud I am of this lil girl!!! I’m freaking out maaaaannn!!!!” he exclaimed in his post. Tatum, now 44 and engaged to actress Zoë Kravitz, attended the St. Ambrose Feis competition sporting a shirt that read 'Evie's Pit Crew,' showing his unwavering support.

Jenna Dewan also shared her enthusiasm, posting images of Everly flaunting her dancing skills on her Instagram Stories, celebrating her daughter's hard work and talent with the excited message, “YESSSS EVIEEEEEE!!! So proud of you!! Loved watching you shine so bright up there.”

Everly was born in 2013, and she is the only child of Tatum and Dewan. Jenna, however, has expanded her family with fiancé Steve Kazee, with whom she shares son Callum, four, and a newborn daughter, Rhiannon.

The original love story of Channing and Jenna began on the set of the dance film Step Up in 2006. They tied the knot in 2009 but decided to separate in 2018, facing a tumultuous legal battle that focused significantly on Tatum’s profits from the Magic Mike franchise. Their divorce was formally settled just this week, bringing closure to negotiations that had been dragging on for years.

The contentious issue revolved around Tatum's earnings, which included not only two sequels to Magic Mike but also a reality television show called Finding Magic Mike and an extravagant live show in Las Vegas. Jenna, represented by celebrity attorney Samantha Spector, argued that the earnings should be considered community property, insisting that Tatum’s actions to transfer licensing rights to third parties without her knowledge deprived her of her rightful share.

Court documents revealed that the Magic Mike project, initially financed with a $7 million investment, turned into a massive success, raking in $167 million at the global box office. Spector has even estimated that the business could be worth a staggering billion dollars.

As Tatum and Dewan move on with their lives, they appear mutually committed to supporting their daughter Everly as she embarks on her own journey in the arts. Their shared pride was palpable over the weekend, as they united to commemorate their daughter’s promising future.
