The Step Up actress – who recently revealed that she is expecting baby number three – discussed raising her children with Magic Mike star during an interview with Romper; former couple seen in 2017 in L.A.
After welcoming her second child, Jenna explained that it had been ‘tough’ to be apart from her daughter.
‘In the beginning, it was really tough. And it was definitely hard on her in the beginning too, but she’s gotten into the flow with that a lot more,’ the star stated, adding, ‘But she loves Callum. She really adores him.’
The dancer and Channing first crossed paths while working on set of the 2006 film, Step Up, and two years later, became engaged.
The pair tied the knot in July 2009 during a romantic ceremony in Malibu, but announced their separation in April 2018. The following year in November 2019, their divorce was finalized.
At the time of the split, Dewan and Tatum released a statement, which read, ‘We have something we would like to share.’
‘First off, it feels odd that we have to share this kind of thing with everyone, but it’s a consequence of the lives we’ve chosen to lead, which we also happen to be deeply grateful for…’
The two later added, ‘We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple. We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together.’
‘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.’
‘It’s always a journey,’ the beauty expressed to the outlet. ‘It never ends. You just learn as you go and get better at certain things, and for me, Evie will always be my top priority’

In conclusion, the former couple added, ‘We are still a family and will always be loving dedicated parents to Everly. We won’t be commenting beyond this, and we thank you all in advance for respecting our family’s privacy.’
Jenna has since moved on with Tony Award winner, Steve Kazee, and the couple became engaged in February 2020.
Channing began dating fellow actress, Zoe Kravitz, back in 2021 and the two stars also became engaged last year in 2023.
Earlier on Wednesday, Dewan took to her main Instagram page to excitedly announce to her 9.1 million fans and followers that she is expecting baby number three – her second with Kazee.

While also talking to Romper for the publication’s January 2024 issue, she revealed that both she and Steve have chosen to not find out the sex of their second baby. The dancer also stated that their second child will be her last pregnancy.
‘You don’t race to the end because this is the last time. So there’s a bit of joy and a little sadness. I’m really trying to enjoy it all and not try to just get through the days,’ the actress explained.
Dewan later gushed about seeing Kazee with a ‘little baby again’ and stated, ‘He’s so naturally domestic and nurturing, and he’s so loving, and he’s funny, and he’s really… he’s just incredible.’
‘It’s one of those things where people just have a natural ability for parenting. I’m so excited to see him with a little baby again.’
Jenna also discussed working on set while pregnant, explaining, ‘It helps balance my mind.’
‘And The Rookie is truly the most dreamy, incredible job. Everyone is so lovely. It’s really fun, and it’s easy, and it flows, and so I think that’s a big part of why it’s easy for me to work pregnant.’
‘I’ve been on other sets that are obviously a lot more difficult. So I love it. You’re tired, but when is a mom not tired?’ the star added.
Dewan was effortlessly radiant in her recent Romper feature, and showcased her growing baby bump wearing a figure-hugging, sheer black dress that fell down past her ankles.
Her dark locks were parted in the middle, and cascaded down past her shoulders in elegant waves.
