Pregnant Jenna Dewan Seeking MILLIONS From Ex Channing Tatum’s Magic Mike Income

Transcript

00:00 Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum's divorce continues to unfold.

00:04 Nearly six years after the Step Up alums confirmed their breakup, they are still working through

00:08 their divorce proceedings as Jenna seeks a share of ex-Channing's earnings from the

00:13 Magic Mike franchise.

00:15 In documents obtained by NBC News, Jenna's lawyers argue that intellectual property from

00:21 Channing's Magic Mike appearances has grown into a multi-million cultural phenomenon.

00:26 And because the original film and its first sequel came out during their marriage, it

00:30 should be considered community and character.

00:33 The document continues, "During the party's marriage, Channing, an actor and producer,

00:37 got his big break with the motion picture Magic Mike, which along with underlying intellectual

00:43 property was developed and co-financed by Channing during marriage with community effort

00:48 and marital funds."

00:49 Jenna's legal team alleges in the docs that Channing and his financial team created a

00:54 complex web of LLCs, holding companies, and partnerships to dilute the earnings and offspring

01:00 profit Magic Mike has accumulated.

01:03 The 43-year-old, who was declared legally single in 2019, also contends that her ex-husband

01:08 failed to disclose business opportunities provided by Magic Mike following their 2018

01:13 split.

01:14 In addition to the couple's hearing that took place April 12, Jenna's team requested a subsequent

01:19 trial to determine how the couple will split assets going forward.

01:23 Meanwhile, Channing's lawyers responded to Jenna's filings, stating in another April

01:27 10 filing, also obtained by NBC News, that the rookie star has been involved in all aspects

01:33 of community investments, opportunities, and transactions concerning the Magic Mike franchise.

01:38 The 21 Jump Street Actors team adds that Jenna's claims are a last-ditch effort to further

01:44 delay the duo's divorce, which has been ongoing since they announced their breakup in 2018.

01:49 Amid the new filings, the former couple also submitted a list of preliminary witnesses,

01:54 which include Magic Mike director Stephen, as well as Greg Jacobs, the franchise's producers,

01:59 Nick Wexler, and Peter Kiernan, and screenwriter Reed Carrolyn, all of whom are Channing's

02:04 business partners, according to the actors' filing obtained by E! News.

02:09 Channing, who is currently linked to Zoe Kravitz, also included his ex-wife's current fiancé,

02:14 Steve Kazee, who shares son Callum Foer as well as another baby on the way.

02:18 He testified regarding Jenna and his cohabitation, joint expenses, and all related matters.

02:24 E! News has reached out to lawyers for Channing and Jenna, but has not heard back.
