Channing Tatum openly discusses the challenging end of his marriage with Jenna Dewan, revealing their attempts to maintain the relationship in a seldom-shared statement: "Our union faced arduous times."

After a six-year long legal battle, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan have officially finalized their divorce, as reported by Variety. The former "Step Up" co-stars, who were married for nine years, have moved on romantically but have chosen to maintain a good relationship for the sake of their daughter, Everly.

The divorce, which was a painful break for Tatum, especially considering their youth, was not an easy decision. According to a recent interview, Tatum revealed that he and Dewan tried to keep their relationship together for a year and a half before realizing it was not working.

Tatum has since found love again with Inka Williams, going Instagram-official with her recently. Williams is the current girlfriend of the actor, who is known for his roles in films like "Magic Mike" and "21 Jump Street."

In a new interview, Tatum gave rare insight into his divorce from Dewan, stating that it's tough not to have Everly, his daughter, half the time. The dispute over Tatum's "Magic Mike" profits was a factor in the lengthy legal proceedings of the divorce.

Meanwhile, Dewan has also moved on. She is engaged to Steve Kazee, with whom she shares two children: son Callum and daughter Rhiannon. There is no information provided about any current romantic relationships for Zoë Kravitz, who was previously engaged to Tatum for three years before their breakup last year.

Tatum is set to portray Jeffrey Manchester in the upcoming film "Roofman," a character who misses his daughter after spending time in prison. The actor's role in the film is a reflection of his real-life feelings about his relationship with Everly.

Despite the challenges, Tatum remains optimistic. He stated that he believes everyone needs therapy and encourages others to seek help when needed. As he moves forward, Tatum continues to focus on his career and his role as a father to Everly.

In a joint agreement, Tatum and Dewan had agreed to joint legal and physical custody of Everly and to privately meet with a judge if there were conflicts over child support. The former couple has managed to maintain a civil relationship for the sake of their daughter, demonstrating that even in the face of a difficult divorce, it is possible to put the best interests of the child first.
