Today, “Step Up”, known in Poland as “Dance of the Senses”, is considered a cult production. It was on the set of this film in 2006 that Jenna Dewan and . She played the beautiful ballet student Nora, and he created the character of Tyler, a street dancer who appears in a renowned institution as a punishment to do community service. Although they are from two completely different worlds, sparks quickly begin to spark between them, which ends in a fiery romance. The fate of the main actors was similar.
They loved each other on set and in real life. After the baby was born, they stopped getting along
Dewan and they hit it off almost immediately. The budding feeling between the characters they played developed almost in parallel with the one that connected them in reality. Before the movie hit the cinema screens, they were already there. They did not see the world outside of each other and spent every free moment together. After two years of relationship, they got engaged, and a year later, on July 11, 2009, they got married. In interviews, they declared that they are also connected by friendship, which is the foundation and binder of the relationship. Together they celebrated successes and supported each other in difficult times. They were complemented by daughter Everly, who was born on May 31, 2013.
Actress for nearly a decade was considered compatible and happy. Although at industry events it seemed that everything was going well between them, behind closed doors they faced a crisis that began before they decided to have children. In the final months of Dewan’s pregnancy, Tatum began working on a new film. When the birth action began, he was not with her, because at that time he had pictures. To make matters worse, the actress had to reconcile caring for the newborn with her professional duties, to which she returned almost a few days later. She felt overwhelmed by the amount of tasks and the lack of support from her beloved. “I had a lot of anxiety after giving birth. It was as if I never had a moment’s respite. You know, you get up several times a night and then work all day. I breastfed, I pumped, I was without a partner… It’s just crazy – on the Dear Gabby podcast. Tatum’s addiction also added fuel to the fire. The actor sought an escape from his problems in alcohol, which also negatively affected his relationship with his wife. “I think I’m a high-functioning alcoholic, I think.” I tend to run away,” he told GQ magazine.
After 9 years of relationship, they broke up. The fight for the child was very different between them
In the end, Dewan and Tatum did not find a solution to their mutual problems. Although they tried various ways to save the relationship for the sake of the child, none of the attempts brought the desired results and in 2018 they unexpectedly announced that they were divorced. – At first, this breakup was very scary, even scary – Tatum in an interview with “Vanity Fair”. Your life suddenly turns 180 degrees. The whole plan you had is in ruins and you’re thinking, What now? he said. Despite numerous rumors and speculations, none of them has ever decided to say directly what their differences were. However, Tatum suggested that the reason for the breakdown of the marriage was different visions of life and the future. He stated that when they started dating, they were both young and inexperienced. They were guided by passionate affection and ignored the differences of character, which, although not a problem at first, became unbearable over time. – I think we made a story when we were young and we told ourselves. We did not pay attention to the fact that life tells us that we are different – he said, adding that it was the birth of his daughter that made them see how much they share. “When you are parents, you start to understand these differences between you. You raise children differently, you look at the world differently and you go through it differently – summed up the actor.
Dewan felt the same way. In the book Gracefully You: How to Live Your Best Life Every Day, she confessed that parenting opened her eyes to many things. It was then that she realized that the way she and Tatum were forming a family was far from what she had imagined.
I realized that the dynamic of our relationship was not working for me or our daughter. First I had to realize it, and then accept the pain. (…) The audience saw me and Channing in an idealized, romantic light. It made everything difficult for me because I like to be as honest and real as possible
– . Although both declared that they parted on friendly terms, the fight for custody of their daughter greatly divided them. Despite initial difficulties and tensions, they managed to reach a compromise. Today, Everly splits her life into two homes, spending as much time with her mom as she does with her dad.
