Decoding the Complex Divorce Trial of Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan
The Rookie actress claims in separate documents obtained by People that she and Tatum acquired the intellectual property together but placed its earnings into “an irrevocable trust” and transferred licensing rights to a third party without informing her. Tatum denies her allegation. E! News has contacted the representatives of the stars but has not received a response.
Both Dewan, 43, and Tatum have included Magic Mike franchise directors Steven Soderbergh and Greg Jacobs, producers Nick Wechsler and Peter Kiernan, and screenwriter Reid Carolin in their preliminary witness lists. These individuals are all business partners of the actor, according to the actor’s filing obtained by E! News.
In his witness list filed in court on April 10, 43-year-old Tatum also listed Dewan’s fiancé Steve Kazee, with whom she is expecting her third child. The Shameless alum, who shares a son Callum, 4, with Dewan, is expected to testify about their cohabitation, joint expenses, and related matters, according to the filing.
Both filings indicate a trial setting conference on the matter is scheduled for April 12.
