How much of Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan's pension benefits are eligible for division? New documents shed light

Although the news of Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan’s divorce has been public for years, many financial details have remained private until now. New legal documents have revealed an important financial aspect of their settlement. It involves how their retirement benefits from the Screen Actors Guild-Producers Pension Plan will be shared.

The new information shows that both actors agreed to divide their retirement credits from the time they were married. This means each will receive a portion of the other’s pension earnings from the specific nine-year period. While the exact dollar amount is not listed, the method of splitting has been outlined.

This update comes after the former couple finalized their divorce in September 2024. The couple got married in 2009, separated in 2018, and were declared legally single in 2019, as per US Weekly. With the new documents now out, the public has a better understanding of the financial portion of the process.

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan’s pension benefits and how they are divided

The documents state that Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan will each receive 50 percent of the other’s retirement benefits earned during their marriage. The benefits apply only to the years they were married, from 2009 to 2018.

The division is calculated using a simple formula. The pension plan looks at the total pension credit a person earns over their full career. The amount earned during the marriage is compared to that total. According to TMZ, the spouse receives half of the portion tied to the marriage period.

Why does this part of the settlement matter?

This disclosure gives the public a rare look at how celebrity divorce finances work behind closed doors. The financial details of the divorce settlement were exclusively reported by US Weekly.

The pension split also shows how long-term marriages can affect retirement benefits. Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan worked during their marriage, so each earned pension credit separately. Because of this, both are giving up part of their benefits while also receiving part of the other's.

Another reason this matters is that the divorce took six years to finalize. The pension division appears to be one of the last remaining issues. With this agreement signed, it marks the end of a long legal process between the former couple.
