In September 2019, actor Jenna Dewan announced she was expecting a child with boyfriend Steve Kazee. Around the same time, her ex-husband, Channing Tatum, deactivated his Instagram account. Was this a coincidence or something more?

Dewan and Tatum were together for many years

Tatum and Dewan met while filming the movie that was both of their big breaks, Step Up. They soon began dating, and were married in 2009. Their daughter, Everly, was born in 2013.

During this time, both of them continued to grow in their careers. Sadly, in 2018, they announced that they were separating. Dewan filed for divorce shortly thereafter, but there appeared to be no bad blood between the two.

Here’s why Tatum says he left Instagram

Tatum’s Instagram account was deactivated in late 2019. He did post in August 2019 that he was “trying to get inspired again,” adding, “I’m gonna go and be just in the real world for a while and off my phone.”

Not long after, his girlfriend at the time, Jessie J, posted a similar sentiment.

However, it wasn’t until later that he deleted his account altogether. Is it conspicuous that it lines up with the timing of his ex-wife announcing her pregnancy? We doubt it, but it’s possible.

Tatum returned to Instagram in November 2019 with a new post. He has remained active on the social media platform since then.

Who is Jenna Dewan dating?

In October 2018, news began to spread that Dewan was dating again. She and actor Steve Kazee got together, and have been a couple ever since. It took some time, but both began to open up about their relationship on social media.

The news of Dewan’s pregnancy went public on Sept. 24, 2019, and was marked with dual posts from the couple.

On her page, Dewan called her beau “a gift from above,” adding that she “couldn’t be more excited” about their new addition. Over on Kazee’s profile, he wrote that he is filled “with the deepest of gratitude” to be expecting with Dewan. He also talked about Everly, writing that she “has taught [him] so much about what it means to love and communicate with a child.”

Kazee and Dewan became engaged in February 2020. Their son was born in March 2020.

Who is Channing Tatum dating?

Following his divorce from Jenna Dewan, Channing Tatum dated singer Jessie J from 2018 to 2020. He then began dating actor Zoe Kravitz. The pair became engaged by November 2023. However, neither Kravitz nor Tatum has posted about the other on Instagram.

Dewan and Tatum share one daughter together.
