Four years after Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan called it quits, the “Magic Mike” star spoke about their demise in an interview with Vanity Fair. Shortly after People crowned Tatum the “Sexiest Man Alive,” he still pointed out that something wasn’t quite right, even though he was doing pretty well professionally. “I was working a lot. I had gotten to work with some of my favorite directors,” the star told the outlet. “I had checked boxes that I would never have hoped to dream about. But something just wasn’t quite filling me up.”
Tatum confessed that he realized the funk he was in wasn’t because of his professional life, but rather because of his marriage. “We fought for it for a really long time, even though we both sort of knew that we had sort of grown apart,” Tatum confessed. The pair tried to play it off like it was okay for a while before realizing they weren’t as close. “But when you’re actually parents, you really understand differences between the two of you,” he said, adding that the two parented and looked “at the world” differently. Once he and Dewan split, he focused on himself and their daughter, Everly, whom he called his “best friend.” So, out of the bad comes some good.
