Tatum and Jenna Dewan on paper and in movies are the perfect couple. The duo met on the sets of Step Up in 2006 and had been together until their divorce in 2019. Dewan was a poised former professional dancer, very much into wellness and veganism. Tatum was an ex-stripper from Florida who hated vegetables. On paper they were perfect. Tatum says that they too believed in this, and fought to save their relationship, but knew they were growing apart.

“We fought for it for a really long time, even though we both sort of knew that we had sort of grown apart, I think we told ourselves a story when we were young, and we just kept telling ourselves that story, no matter how blatantly life was telling us that we were so different. But when you’re actually parents, you really understand 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.

He says that after their divorce his life took a complete turn as all his plans were up in the air, life as he knew changed completely. This prompted him to take a break and spend time with his daughter which he said saved his life. It gave him perspective and bought him closer to his daughter.

It was probably exactly what I needed. I don’t think I would’ve ever done the work, I think, on myself in the way that I had to do the work on myself to really try to figure out what next. And really, it just started with my daughter. I just dropped everything and just focused on her. And it was truly the best possible thing that I ever could have done. Because in the alone time that I have with just me and her, we’ve become best friends.”

Tatum sees his divorce as something that prompted him to change his ways. It is as optimistic as humans can get. He is reported to return for a last dance on the Magic Mike franchise.

Magic Mike: The Last Dance will release on 10 February 2023.
