Jenna Dewan marked her divorce from Channing Tatum with a celebratory Instagram post, which shed light on her current mindset.
The Step Up star seemingly indicated she was feeling relieved to have finally settled her divorce by sharing a throwback photo of Nicole Kidman, taken after her divorce from Tom Cruise, to her Instagram Story.
The iconic image of Kidman, 57, shows her looking joyful as she left her attorney’s office after legally ending her 11-year marriage to the Mission: Impossible actor, 62.
Taken in 2001, the photo has since become used in countless memes on the Internet to run alongside humorous captions.
In a separate post, uploaded to her Instagram grid, Dewan shared a slideshow of recent photos, featuring photos of her alongside her fiancé Steve Kazee and their baby girl, Rhiannon.
She captioned the photos: ‘Thank you universe.’

Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum finally SETTLE divorce spat over Magic Mike money – after SIX years
Talks between the exes stalled for years as the former spouses fought over the intellectual property and the distribution of money Tatum earns from the successful movie franchise.
Although details of the settlement are not public, the pair signed a binding judgement this week that conclusively resolves the dispute.
That means the trial showdown between the battling exes that was scheduled for December is now off.
If Tatum or Dewan have any future disagreements over custody, they have agreed to work it out privately with a judge, according to court records submitted to an LA judge.
Both also mutually agreed to waive spousal support from one another.
Dewan and Tatum married after meeting while on set of the 2006 film Step Up.
They announced their split in a joint social media statement in 2018, saying there were ‘no secrets nor salacious events at the root of our decision.’
‘Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now,’ the exes said in the statement.
Her post came on the same day news broke that her and Tatum finally settled their divorce and contentious court battle over the Magic Mike franchise
While the pair officially became single on November 2019, their divorce proceedings stalled over Tatum’s lucrative Magic Mike deals spawned from the 2012 motion picture hit.
The Hartford, Connecticut born actress maintained the money used during their 10-year marriage financed the Magic Mike franchise, which includes two sequels, a reality TV show on HBO called Finding Magic Mike and a live Las Vegas show.
Tatum and the film’s director, Steven Soderbergh, co-financed the project. The film was largely based on on Tatum’s own earlier experiences as stripper in Florida.
Their $7 million investment turned into a blockbuster, earning $167 million worldwide.
Celebrity attorney Samantha Spector, who represents Dewan, wrote in court documents that Tatum’s legal team ‘deprived Jenna of a fair and equal share of the community estate, and he is prejudicing her every day that this case continues.’
Spector estimated the Magic Mike business is ‘a potential billion dollar asset.’
She also shared a slideshow of photos with her family and baby girl, Rhiannon Lee Kathryn Kazee, who she welcomed in June
‘Thank you universe,’ she captioned the post

Tatum’s attorney, Jacqueline Combs, insisted the Magic Mike franchise made most of its money after the actor and Dewan had already separated.
The actor said in court papers that he always agreed for his ex to have a slice of the Magic Mike proceeds.
‘I have never denied her share of any community assets or income,’ the 44-year old star wrote. ‘Her claims that I have “colluded with third parties” are completely false.
‘She has had complete access to all our financial records for all activities during our marriage and since separation. I continue to provide her with updates regarding Magic Mike financial matters.’
The former Step It Up co-stars share a daughter, 11-year old Everly, who they have 50/50 custody, which both agreed to back in February 2020.
Tatum is engaged to actress and director Zoë Kravitz, 35, and stars in her directorial debut Blink Twice.

Dewan has been engaged to actor Steve Kazee, 48, since 2020. Dewan and Kazee are parents to Callum, four, and baby daughter Rhiannon.
The actress posted, ‘Thank you universe’ on her Instagram and a smiling selfie on Wednesday – a day after she and Tatum signed the final divorce agreement.
