Just after revealing the real reason behind why she and Channing Tatum divorced, Jenna Dewan shared an adorable photo of her and her now-boyfriend and baby-daddy, Steve Kazee.
Jenna Dewan recently released her own tell-all novel called “Gracefully You.”
Leading up to the release of the book, in an interview with People , Jenna got candid about what the book has to say about her divorce.

“It was a hard journey of growth and change,” Jenna said.
“Ultimately, now I can honestly say that I’m living in a very joyful new place in my life and I’m happy about it.”
However, getting there was a struggle.
“People grow and they change and sometimes they don’t grow and change together,” Jenna explained. “So it wasn’t an overnight thing that happened. There was no one event.”
“I always say no one gets married to hopefully get divorced,” she told People.
“I was just gutted. It was so difficult for me,” she added.
“It was the loss of an idealistic future for myself and my life,” she continued. “I didn’t know life without Chan.”
“What does that now look like for me? Where do I begin? I met him when I was 24.”
“The separation tested me in ways I hadn’t thought possible,” she continued.
“I started to wonder if everything I believed in and always talked about was real. Could anyone or anything ever be trusted?”
She explained that finding out Channing was dating Jessie J completely took her by surprise.
“I was learning things about my ex most people wouldn’t have to face,” she said .
“And over the internet, as it was happening. There I was, on a plane, alone, finding out about his new relationship.”
“I was blindsided,” she said.
Since the release of “Gracefully You”, People obtained exerpts from the book revealing what caused Jenna and Channing to divorce in the first place.
The exerpt apparently reveals that she and Channing mutually decided to separate the night before she began filming Season 2 of World of Dance , nearly three months before they announced their split to the public.
“First and foremost I had to accept the realization this isn’t working and had moved into hurting,” she reportedly wrote.
“I’d come to realize the dynamic I was in wasn’t serving me nor was it serving my daughter.”
“The public saw Channing and I in this idealized romanticized light. This made things difficult for me because I like being as honest and real as I can.”
Channing has yet to make any comments in regard to the latest excerpt released from Jenna’s book, or the claims she has made in recent interviews regarding their divorce.
However, seemingly in response to Jenna, Jessie J began posting cute couple photos of her and Channing to her Instagram story.
But that didn’t seem to phase Jenna at all, as she just shared the most adorable photo of her and her boyfriend, Steve Kazee, wishing him a happy birthday.
The pair started dating approximately one year ago!
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
“The world became a better place the day you were born…Your strength, gentleness, humor and caring beautiful soul touches everyone who knows you. I am the luckiest girl in the world to love you and be loved by you,” she captioned the post.
And BTW, just when we thought they couldnt get any cuter, for their one year anniversary they got a puppy!
What better way to celebrate one year of dating than by adopting a puppy together, amirite?
You can’t go wrong with puppies.
Just one day after that, they announced that they are expecting.
“We are beyond overjoyed and couldn’t be happier to be expanding our family!” the couple told People .
“Well…the news is out. I can’t even begin to describe the feelings that I have had since we first learned that Jenna was pregnant!,” Steve wrote on Instagram.
“I have waited my entire life for this moment and couldn’t have found a better person to build a family with.”
In response, Jenna posted a photo of her baby-bump along with a heartfelt caption.
“Becoming a mother is quite simply the absolute best most incredible thing that has ever happened to me you are a gift from above and I couldn’t be more excited to be expanding our family together…!,” she wrote .

“Embracing it and starting fresh and figuring out what you want in life and what means a lot to you, what’s meaningful and what is going to make you happy,” she told People about using the divorce as an opportunity.
Jenna’s positive attitude is admirable.
“I’m grateful that I now am at a place where I understand myself and what I want and I’m happy about this new chapter,” she said.
Of course, Jenna says that the end of their marriage wasn’t the end of friendship for her and Channing.
Jenna said that the divorce “doesn’t take away from the love that we had or shared for all those years.”
So sweet!
