AceShowbiz - Jenna Dewan sees co-parenting as a never-ending "journey." The 43-year-old star shares Evie, ten, with her ex-husband Channing Tatum, and Jenna has admitted that it's been a constant learning experience for her.
"It's always a journey. It never ends. You just learn as you go and get better at certain things, and for me, Evie will always be my top priority. I just continually put her first. That's how I can manage all hard things," the actress told Romper magazine.
Jenna has Callum, three, with Steve Kazee, and the couple are now expecting another baby together.
Jenna revealed that she found it really tough to be apart from Evie after giving birth to her son. She explained, "In the beginning, that was really tough. And it was definitely hard on her in the beginning, too, but she's gotten into a flow with that a lot more. But she loves Callum. She really adores him."
Jenna also revealed that Callum is excited to have another sibling. She shared, "[I told him] when the baby is ready, the baby comes out. And he's like, 'I want the baby right now. Can you just pull it out of your mouth?' Steve and I died laughing. I said, 'I wish, baby. That would be amazing if we could pull it out my mouth. But no, it definitely goes a different way.' "
Jenna is currently looking forward to becoming a mom for the third time. And in spite of the challenges she's faced, the actress continues to relish the experience of motherhood. Jenna - who was married to Channing between 2009 and 2019 - said, "I really love being a mom. That's something I knew my whole life, but I really know it now."
