After Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux, another Hollywood couple announced their separation on Monday. The lovely couple Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum broke the news in a joint statement, which was posted on Instagram. The post read, “We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple.”
“We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together. Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now,” the pair said.
Channing and Jenna trod cautiously to avoid any kind of rumours as they stated in the statement: “if you didn’t read it here then it’s most certainly fiction.”
The two started dating after meeting on the sets of Step Up and got married in 2009. Chan and Jenna have a five-year-old girl now.
Last year, Channing posted this lovely message for Jenna on her birthday, “Your strength and grace ever evolving. By doing so you make everything around you grow- everything. And I am so very grateful for your lessons. Happy life day my love.”

According to Page Six, the reason behind the break-up of the couple was spending more time apart because of work pressure. “Channing has been working non-stop, with four movies announced for 2018 alone. It is hard on a marriage to be apart so much, especially when you have a young child. Plus Jenna is in pre-production for the movie, ‘Berlin I Love You,’” Page Six quotes a source.
“Both Channing and Jenna are devoted to their daughter and have worked hard to spend as much happy family time together, despite the problems in their relationship that the distance has seemed to magnify,” a friend also added.
Dewan Tatum is currently engaged in hosting NBC’s World of Dance, while Channing Tatum is set to lend his voice to the role of Migo in the upcoming animated film, Smallfoot.
