Jenna Dewan and Steve Kazee’s Relationship Timeline Proves He’s Really ~Stepped Up!~

April 2018

Jenna and Channing announced their separation on April 2, 2018. “We have chosen to separate as a couple,” their joint statement posted to Instagram read. “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.”

They added that they’ll continue to coparent their daughter, Everly. “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.”

May 2018

Jenna gave an interview to Harper’s Bazaar, where she talked about being single and how she adjusted to her new life. “The moves I’m making are completely not related to my marriage or separation, interestingly enough. I was always very happy being a wife,” she said, adding that other questions remained like, “‘Who are you? What do you want to give to the world? What excites you?’ Those feelings started bubbling up for me, naturally … so I really wanted to expand my life and myself. And that was my journey, no one else’s.”

“I feel a sense of joy and freedom and excitement, truly, about a new chapter in my life. And I have no attachments to how that’s going to look, or what that’s going to be. I feel really open, and I feel hopeful.”

October 2018

By October 2018, Jenna officially filed for divorce from Channing citing irreconcilable differences and asking for joint legal and physical custody of their daughter. She also asked to be known as Jenna Dewan, rather than Jenna Dewan-Tatum.

Channing and Jenna are pictured trick or treating with their daughter, just one day after the identity of her rumored new man was revealed.

December 2018

Jenna and Steve are done hiding and go Instagram official! The Tony-award winning Broadway performer posted a sweet snap of a photo booth pic making goofy faces and kissing Jenna. If that wasn’t adorable enough, he also included a touching birthday message. “Happy Birthday Jenna!” he wrote. “Somehow it feels like my birthday over and over again because I keep getting the gift of you every day. ❤️🐞❤️.”

December 2018

That same month, the duo got flirty in the comments. In the Insta snap, Jenna is giving the camera a sultry gaze while she’s modeling on a ballet bar. She captioned the photo, “Have you found your favorite yet?? #jennadewanxdanskin.” Steve then responded, “Yes. I have.” Love is officially in the air, folks!

December 2018

On December 12, Jenna looked red hot in a red jumpsuit and heels at the premiere of Love Actually Live. Although her man didn’t pose with her on the carpet, he was there behind-the-scenes for their sweet date night.

January 2019

The duo made good on that promise to coparent Everly because the Magic Mike actor said their daughter has been doing more than OK following her parent’s split. “In my opinion and experience, Everly has appeared to adjust to our separation and living in two homes exceptionally well,” Channing detailed in a custody request order obtained by Life & Style. “I believe that she will thrive even more with structure and consistency because she is happy and more relaxed when she knows a plan.”

February 2019

Steve took to Instagram on Valentine’s Day to gush over his leading lady. “Somehow, inexplicably, I’ve been granted the honor to have this be the person that I get to be side by side with throughout this wild journey we call life,” he began the romantic caption. “Jenna, I don’t know what I did to deserve your love but I will always be so thankful that our lives found their way to each other. Here’s looking at you, kid. Happy Valentines Day, my love.”

March 2019

Shacking up. A source told Life & Style exclusively in March 2019 that Jenna totally sees a “future” with her man, and she’s super excited about what’s to come. “Things are going so well that they’re already living together,” the insider explained. “He’s great with Everly and that’s encouraging to Jenna, who’d like a couple more kids when the time’s right.”

September 2019

Fast forward to September 2019 and the two celebrated their anniversary … of adopting their dog! The duo further confirmed their living situation when Steve wrote, “@theellenshow is right! @wagmorpets is awesome! This time last year @jennadewan and I adopted this little fella Cosmo into our family. There are so many wonderful resources out there for finding lifetime homes for animals in need. The next time you are looking for a new furever friend remember to adopt not shop And a huge shoutout to @sallysrescue for all that you do!!”

Jenna hilariously commented on her beau’s heartfelt post and wrote, “Awwwwwwwwwww. Back when he fooled us and we thought he was chill.”

September 2019

Surprise! The handsome couple announces they’re expecting their first child together. “Well … the news is out. I can’t even begin to describe the feelings that I have had since we first learned that Jenna was pregnant!” Steve wrote on Instagram on September 24. “I have waited my entire life for this moment and couldn’t have found a better person to build a family with. The past year and a half has brought so many things into my life that have filled me with the deepest of gratitude. A partner who radiates love, warmth and kindness. A partner who has faced some of the hardest moments life can deal you with grace, humility and a desire to learn from the ups and downs. A partner who is continuously growing from those lessons and who supports my growth as a person with love, unwavering support and understanding. Jenna also brought with her one of the greatest gifts one could ever imagine … her beautiful daughter. Evie burst into my life like a supernova and has continued to burn so brightly in it. I have learned so much about parenting already from watching how amazing Jenna is with her and Evie has taught me so much about what it means to love and communicate with a child and I can’t wait to give her a sibling and make our little family a little bit bigger.”

September 2019

Luckily, Everly is on board with a new sibling. “Channing and Jenna know that other children, on both their parts, are probably in their future, and that’s not a problem,” an additional source previously told Life & Style. “In fact, blended families are very normal and Everly hasn’t stopped asking about when she’s going to get a baby sister or brother,” the insider noted. “They’ll cross that bridge when they get there, but it looks like they will eventually get there.”

October 2019

Boy or girl? Although fans speculated the gorgeous mama is expecting a baby girl, she quickly put those rumors to rest in October. “I’m keeping this secret to myself, but I was not trying to tell any sort of … ” she confessed after many thought the IG photo she posted of a pink bow tied around her tummy meant she was having another daughter. “That was not a gender reveal. I saw a lot of people asking about it and I didn’t even think about that. No.”

November 2019

So … now that they’re expecting, is a proposal on the way? “Jenna says she’s still waiting for a proposal, but she knows it’s coming,” a source exclusively told Life & Style in November. “Steve isn’t giving away any hints, but friends say it will probably be around the holidays.” We’re keeping our fingers crossed!

November 2019

According to court documents obtained by Life & Style, Jenna and Channing are declared legally single. However, the former flames still need to settle their child custody agreement as well as their property assets.

November 2019

On November 24, Jenna showed off her adorable baby bump in a gorgeous pink gown at the 2019 American Music Awards. No, this is not another gender clue. Er, at least we don’t think so!

December 2019

Jenna and Steve celebrated the holidays together, and the dancer showed off her festive baby bump covered in bows. Steve also cooked his lady a romantic dinner after their Christmas celebrations, so cleary the spark is still alive and well!

February 2020

Down the aisle! The couple announced on February 18 that they were officially engaged. “A lifetime to love and grow with you … you have my heart,” Jenna captioned a photo of the two kissing on Instagram with a dazzling diamond ring on her finger.

Steve shared the same photo and wrote his own swoonworthy post. “When you wake in the morning I will kiss your face with a smile no one has ever seen. When you wake in the morning I will kiss your eyes and say it’s you I have loved all these years,” the actor gushed.

Steve and Jenna welcomed their first child together on Friday, March 6. “And just like that, our hearts exploded into all of eternity and beyond,” the mom of two shared on Instagram. “Welcome to the world, you little angel! Callum Michael Rebel Kazee.”

June 2020

“We laugh about it all the time and say, ‘Well Steve, how has your life changed in the last few years?’ And that was before having a child in the middle of a worldwide pandemic!” Jenna captioned this sweet photo of her man snuggling their baby for Father’s Day.

Her post continued, “I will never find the words to adequately express my love and gratitude for you. Watching you become a father is one of the greatest things I’ve ever experienced. The love and commitment you show us all and the innate badass fatherhood capabilities you just have in your back pocket. We are all so lucky, and we love you so, so, so much.”

September 2020

“We’ve been home together now every single day for over 400 days and still going,” Jenna captioned this sweet selfie amid the coronavirus pandemic. “This man is the most incredible father, takes care of all of us, this entire house, EVERYTHING.”

December 2020
