Channing Tatum And Jenna Dewan Want Each Other To Testify During Their Divorce Trial
Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum separated after a nine-year marriage. Dewan initiated the divorce in October 2018.
As they navigate their divorce proceedings, Dewan, 43, is seeking Tatum's testimony, while the 'Magic Mike' star is requesting testimony from both Dewan and her fiancé, Steve Kazee. Despite announcing their split six years ago, Dewan and Tatum are still in disagreement over financial matters, particularly profits stemming from Tatum's successful 'Magic Mike' franchise.
According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE on Wednesday, Dewan submitted her initial witness list, which notably included both her and Tatum's names. Per the filing, Dewan is seeking testimony from both herself and Tatum, 43, to cover all aspects concerning their marriage, including matters related to business and finances.
In legal papers obtained by PEOPLE, filed by Tatum's legal representatives, the actor lists Dewan and Kazee, 48, as witnesses. Kazee is anticipated to provide testimony concerning his cohabitation with Dewan, joint expenses, and related subjects.
The former couple's next hearing is scheduled for April 12. Court documents outline the primary matters for trial, which include property division, reimbursement claims, support, breach of fiduciary duty, and attorneys' fees.
'The Rookie' actress specifically highlighted the 'Magic Mike' intellectual property, asserting that it was jointly acquired and represents the "largest issue" affecting other aspects of their dispute. She argues that determining the "characterization and division" of the 'Magic Mike' intellectual property is paramount as it will significantly influence the resolution of other financial matters in the case.
