Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan's relationship timeline

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan's first meeting can be considered a meet-cute. The couple met each other onscreen for the first time in the 2006 film, Step Up. Tatum played Tyler Gage, a lower-class hip-hop dancer, while Jenna played the character of Nora Clark, a ballet dancer.

In the same year, during an interview with PEOPLE, Tatum shared what kind of woman he is looking for, saying:

"...someone who doesn't take herself too seriously and can be a goofball."

Not much of their relationship was publicized during the early days. Channing Tatum proposed to Jenna Dewan in 2008, in Hawaii. They were surrounded by their close friends when Tatum popped the question with a Neil Lane ring. The Falling Awake actress shared her thoughts after getting engaged with PEOPLE, saying:

"I'm just so freaking happy... It's great."

The following year, Channing and Jenna tied the knot in Malibu, California. She wore a peach-and-ivory Reem Acra couture ball gown, while her groom looked dashing in a tuxedo.

For their honeymoon, the couple decided to fly out to Bali, Indonesia. While in Bali, they decided to get a couple tattoo with the words "side by side" in Balinese. Tatum got the words on his ribcage, and Jenna got the tattoo on her foot.

Channing said that the tattoo was a joint decision. In his words:

"It was a joint decision... We always wanted to get a tattoo of something together."

Before welcoming any babies, the couple adopted two dogs: a pit bull Catahoula mix and a miniature Japanese spitz, named Lulu and Meeka, respectively.

For their first wedding anniversary, the couple was spotted celebrating with their actor friends at the Ischia Film Festival in Italy.

Not only were they a power couple in Hollywood, but they also teamed up to work as executive producers on the HBO documentary titled Earth Made of Glass. The documentary won them a Peabody Award in 2012. During the acceptance speech, Dewan said:

"It's nice to be recognized for a project that we feel we're really proud of... I think it has a great message, and it's nice just to get that awareness out."

Three years into their marriage, the couple shared the news that they were expecting their first child. During an interview with PEOPLE, Tatum excitedly shared how he wants a big family, but Jenna is not fully convinced:

"I'm ready; I think she's ready... It's really easy for us guys to say, 'I want like 15 kids. Jenna will be like, 'Well, you better get another wife.'"

By May 2013, they welcomed their first child, Everly Elizabeth Maiselle Tatum.

Before Jenna and Channing announced their split, the couple were last photographed together at the War Dog: A Soldier's Best Friend premiere in 2017. They wore matching black outfits for the event.

Fans started speculating if there was trouble in paradise for the lovebirds when both Jenna and Channing attended the 2018 Kids' Choice Awards, but were not seen together. This was their daughter, Everly's first public appearance.

However, six years later, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan announced their split through an exclusive statement to PEOPLE. It read:

"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."

Jenna and Channing are currently co-parenting their daughter. Dewan shared her co-parenting experience during an interview:

"It's always a journey... 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. I just continually put her first. That's how I can manage all hard things."

Dewan also shared that her daughter has inspired her to be assertive about choosing her own path. This is what the actress had to say about parenting Everly:

"If she's not running her own business or ruling the world, I have failed as a mother."

Jenna filed for divorce in 2018, six months after they shared the joint statement of their split. By 2019, both Dewan and Tatum were declared as legally single. This news was preceded by Jenna's announcement that she is expecting her first child with then-boyfriend, Steve Kazee.

During an interview with Vanity Fair in 2023, Channing Tatum shared his first thoughts and emotions while going through the divorce. He said:

"In the beginning, it was super scary and terrifying... Your life turns on its axis. This whole plan that you had literally turns into sand and goes through your fingers... When you're parents, you really understand [the] differences between the two of you... Because it is screaming at you all day long. How you parent differently, how you look at the world, how you go through the world."

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan have now settled their divorce terms. This includes sharing each other's SAG pension earnings from their marriage. Their nine-year-long relationship had many special moments, but they eventually chose separate paths. Today, they focus on co-parenting their daughter and doing what is best for their family.
