It’s happening again… celeb couples we LOVE are splitting up left, right and centre. But this one probably hurts the most.
Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum (who met so amazingly on Step Up) have officially split up, after nine years of marriage.
The couple announced the break up in a joint statement to PEOPLE:
“Hey world!
So…We have something we would like to share.
First off, it feels odd that we have to share this kind of thing with everyone, but it’s a consequence of the lives we’ve chosen to lead, which we also happen to be deeply grateful for. We’re living in an incredible moment in time, but it’s also a time where truth can easily get distorted into “alternative facts” 😉 So we want to share the truth so you know that if you didn’t read it here then it’s most certainly fiction.
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. There are no secrets nor salacious events at the root of our decision — just two best-friends realizing it’s time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible. We are still a family and will always be loving dedicated parents to Everly. We won’t be commenting beyond this, and we thank you all in advance for respecting our family’s privacy. Sending lots of love to everyone, Chan&Jenna.”
The former couple share a daughter together – Everly – who turns 5 this May.
Is anyone else crying? Or reminiscing about their amazing Lip Sync battle? RIP our hearts.
Jenna opened up to Health in February about her marriage, saying that the pair worked hard on their relationship, and they didn’t have that “perfect life.”
“When people say you guys have such a perfect life, I want to scream and tell them no one’s perfect,” she said. “I think there are such things as great fits. It is a great fit as long as you are growing together, and I think up until this point we’ve really grown together. Even if one starts to grow, the other catches up and vice versa.”
