A new court filing has revealed details of Channing Tatum and his ex-wife, Jenna Dewan's, divorce settlement, two years after they reached a financial agreement to finalize their 2018 split.
The former couple settled in September 2024, but the details only came to light after they both filed legal documents on Wednesday, November 26, seeking to enforce the terms of the deal.
According to the documents, Jenna will receive 50 per cent of Channing's Screen Actors Guild producers' pension plan for money earned during their 2009–2018 marriage.
Her ex-husband will be paid the same percentage of her SAG producers' pension plan. Benefits are calculated by dividing pension credit earned during marriage by total pension credit earned.
Among Jenna's producing credits are the 2023 TV movie, Devil on My Doorstep, and the three-season TV show based on the Step Up series, Step Up: High Water, which she produced alongside Channing.
Channing, meanwhile, produced the Magic Mike franchise and a variety of films, including 21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street, Blink Twice, and Roofman.

Before the settlement was reached in 2024, Jenna accused Channing of failing to turn over all financial documents related to Magic Mike, while he claimed she was dragging out the divorce.
"I have made countless settlement proposals, attended multiple mediations, my attorneys have prepared numerous drafts of proposed judgments, and I have tried to resolve issues with [Jenna]," he said.

Jenna and Channing met on the set of Step Up in 2006, married in 2009, and split in April 2018 before they were declared legally single in 2019.

"We fought for it for a really long time, even though we both sort of knew that we had sort of grown apart," he said.

Describing their initial separation, Channing said: "In the beginning, it was super scary and terrifying. Your life just turns on its axis. This whole plan that you had literally just turns into sand and goes through your fingers and you're just like, 'Oh... What now?'"

"I don't think I would've ever done the work, I think, on myself in the way that I had to do the work on myself to really try to figure out what next."
