The announcement of Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum’s split has left fans in shock, however there were signs that their marriage was tainted recently.
Dewan, 37, has attended a number of events solo recently, including the Vanity Fair Oscars after party. When asked where Tatum was, the actress told Entertainment Tonight that he was at home babysitting their daughter Everly, 4.
The couple, who usually post numerous photos of each other online and aren’t afraid to gush about one another, have been relatively silent on their social media accounts.
However, Tatum did share a heartfelt message to his wife for her birthday in December.
“This creature is one more year beautiful. The transformation she invoked this year has been something they only write about in books of fairytale and magic. Your strength and grace ever-evolving,” he wrote. “By doing so you make everything around you grow- everything. And I am so very grateful for your lessons. Happy life day my love.”
In February Dewan told Health magazine that her and Tatum work hard to make their relationship work.
“When people say you guys have such a perfect life, I want to scream and tell them no one’s perfect,” she said. “I think there are such things as great fits. It is a great fit as long as you are growing together, and I think up until this point we’ve really grown together. Even if one starts to grow, the other catches up and vice versa.”
She also admitted to fighting and having days when they ‘don’t really like each other’.
“But I think a couple needs to be conscious and to want to do the work and be willing to look at the parts of you that need work. Both of us have been pretty aware and willing to do that,” she continued. “We’ve always had the same values. But we’re not perfect! Are you kidding? We fight like other couples, we disagree about things, we have days where we don’t really like each other.”
