The dispute between Dewan and Tatum lasted for years. The former spouses were fighting over intellectual property rights and the division of income from the success of the "Magic Mike" film franchise. The agreement details have not been disclosed, but both parties signed a binding court ruling that settles the dispute. As a result, the trial that was scheduled for December was canceled.
Jenna and Channing had been communicating through lawyers since announcing their split in 2018. The pair quickly reached an agreement regarding custody of their daughter, currently 11-year-old Everly. Both also quickly started new lives. Dewan got engaged to actor Steve Kazee, with whom she has two children. Tatum got involved with actress and director Zoë Kravitz.
Expressive reaction of Dewan
The main part of the conflict was about the "Magic Mike" franchise, which was based on Tatum's experiences as a stripper. Dewan claimed that the income from this project was funded with the couple's joint money during their 10-year marriage. The project includes two sequels, the HBO reality show "Finding Magic Mike," and live performances in Las Vegas.
Dewan's lawyer, Samantha Spector, alleged in court documents that Tatum's legal team had deprived Jenna of a fair and equal division of community property. Tatum asserted in court documents that Dewan had full access to all their financial records during the marriage and after the separation, and his lawyer, Jacqueline Combs, stated that most of the income from "Magic Mike" came after their split.
The terms of the agreement are not known. However, it's clear how Jenna reacted at the end of the court battle and divorce. Dewan posted a picture of Nicole Kidman from 2001. In the photo, which has long become an internet meme, the actress is seen jumping for joy on the street. This was how Kidman celebrated her divorce from Tom Cruise. It seems Dewan had similar emotions.
