Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Finalise Divorce After Six Years of Separation

Former Hollywood couple Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan have officially finalized their divorce, six years after their initial separation. The two, who share custody of their 11-year-old daughter Everly, have reached a settlement that avoids a trial originally set for December. While the full details of the agreement remain private, reports confirm that both parties waived spousal support and will resolve any future custody disputes through private negotiations. Key points of contention during their proceedings included financial interests in Tatum’s successful *Magic Mike* franchise, which sparked disagreements over shared assets.

Contentious Financial Disputes Surrounding ‘Magic Mike’ Franchise

Channing Tatum’s financial interests in the highly successful *Magic Mike* franchise became a central issue during the divorce proceedings. Jenna Dewan claimed that Tatum had placed the earnings from the franchise into an irrevocable trust, transferring licensing rights without her knowledge. These claims led to prolonged legal wrangling, with Dewan asserting her right to a share of the profits generated from the franchise, which had become a significant part of Tatum’s wealth during their marriage. 

Tatum, however, denied any wrongdoing, stating that Dewan always had access to their financial records and that he had never withheld any community assets from her. He refuted the allegations that he had acted unethically in managing their shared assets, emphasizing that their financial matters were handled transparently. Despite these financial disputes, the former couple was able to reach a settlement, avoiding the need for a lengthy trial.

Custody and Personal Tensions Escalate During Divorce Proceedings

While financial disagreements dominated much of the legal battle, personal tensions between Tatum and Dewan also heightened as the divorce proceedings dragged on. Tatum accused Dewan of deliberately delaying the process by attempting to disqualify his legal team, an action he believed was intended to obstruct the case. Dewan, on the other hand, had been navigating her new life, now engaged to Steve Kazee and raising their two additional children, which added another layer of complexity to her ongoing legal issues with Tatum.

Despite these challenges, the former couple managed to reach an agreement on shared custody of their daughter, Everly. Both parties committed to handling any future custody disputes through private negotiations with a judge, reflecting a desire to minimize public exposure and move forward amicably for the sake of their daughter.
