The highly publicized divorce proceedings between Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum have been ongoing for over six years, with no end in sight. The couple, who were married for nearly nine years, has been embroiled in a contentious battle over the financial aspects of their split.
According to sources close to the situation, Dewan has made repeated attempts to settle the case behind closed doors, in an effort to keep the matter private and out of the public eye. However, Tatum has reportedly refused to compromise, leading to the prolonged and acrimonious legal battle.
The main point of contention in the case revolves around the Magic Mike movie franchise, which has spawned multiple films and a successful Las Vegas show. Dewan’s lawyers have accused Tatum of attempting to obscure the intellectual property rights of the franchise, which they claim were developed during the couple’s marriage.
The actress’ legal team has also alleged that Tatum’s lawyers have employed “every trick in the book” to stall the case and prevent it from going to trial. In response, Tatum’s lawyers have denied these claims, stating that they have made “exhaustive efforts” to settle the matter amicably.
The situation has become increasingly heated, with both sides accusing each other of engaging in delay tactics and refusing to compromise. The outcome of the case remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the divorce proceedings between Dewan and Tatum are far from over.

Dewan, 43, and Tatum, 44, share an 11-year-old daughter named Everly, and have both moved on to new relationships. Tatum is engaged to actress Zoë Kravitz, 35, while Dewan has been engaged to actor Steve Kazee, 48, since 2020.

As the legal battle continues, it remains to be seen whether the former couple will be able to reach a settlement or if the case will ultimately go to trial.
One thing is certain, however: the divorce proceedings between Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum are a stark reminder that even the most seemingly perfect celebrity marriages can end in bitter acrimony.
