Jenna Dewan Has Revealed The Real Reason She And Channing Tatum Ended Their Marriage

Jenna Dewan Has Revealed The Real Reason She And Channing Tatum Ended Their Marriage

Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum's separation in April 2018 after 10 years together shocked everyone - except them. In an extract of her upcoming book, the actress and dancer has opened up about the process of ending their marriage, something that was made even harder because of the public's affection for the Step Up duo as a couple.

"In the beginning of my separation, it felt as though I were in a dark closet, desperately trying to find the light or the way out," Jenna writes in her memoir Gracefully You: How to Live Your Best Life Every Day. "I was in a state of shock. One week I’d be doing really well and the next I was slammed with a whole new slew of emotions. The rumour mill was churning out story after story."

"There were many times I hid under the covers, wondering what was next," Jenna continued. "The pain hit me like a tumbling avalanche. I was completely overcome with fear and sadness. It took many moments of sitting alone with my grief to force me into surrendering to my roller coaster of a situation."

She went on to explain when she realised the relationship was over, saying that their family dynamic was no longer serving her or her daughter. "First and foremost, I had to accept the realisation this isn’t working and had moved into hurting," she said.

#TBT Throwing it back to this fun Spring day outtake when Evie helped me with my #GracefullyYou photo shoot! And just realized we're less than a week away from the launch of my book tour... it kicks off next Tuesday 10/22 at @BookendsNJ in Ridgewood, NJ! http://bit.ly/jdbooknj [LINK IN BIO]

Jenna, who is expecting her second child with her partner Steve Kazee, also recently revealed that she found out about Channing's new relationship with singer Jessie J online while she was alone on a flight. 

"I was learning things about my ex most people wouldn't have to face — and over the internet, as it was happening. There I was, on a plane, alone, finding out about his new relationship. I was blindsided," she said, per People. She added she ininitally wanted to tweet about it, but decided to handle the situation "gracefully" instead.

"Do you know how many times I've wanted to go online and write exactly what's on my mind? Thousands. My instinct is to fight back, set the record straight. What stops me every time is: ‘Choose to say what you would want yourself to live with a week from today.' Or ‘Choose what you would want Everly to read when she's older,'" she said.
