In February 2020, Jenna Dewan and Steve Kazee announced their engagement on their Instagram accounts. In April 2018, she split from Channing Tatum after eight years of marriage.
“A lifetime to love and grow with you…you have my heart ❤️,” Jenna shared on her Instagram, showing off her glittering ring designed by Nikki Reed‘s jewelry company, Bayou With Love.
Kazee, who was in a relationship with actress Megan Hilty from 2005 until 2012, also shared the big news on social media. An American actor and singer, he won the 2012 Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical for Once.
They first met in 2012 after Dewan saw Kazee perform in Once, but their romantic relationship began after Dewan’s split from Channing Tatum in 2018.
“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,” he captioned the same picture as Jenna with lyrics from Water Liars’ “Let It Breathe.”

While not yet officially married, Jenna Dewan and Steve Kazee welcomed their first child, a son named Callum Michael Rebel Kazee, on March 6, 2020. Their second child, a daughter named Rhiannon Lee Kathryn Kazee, was born on June 14, 2024.
Much has changed since Jenna announced her divorce in April 2018 and reverted to her maiden name, marking a new chapter in her personal and professional life. Before this major life shift, Jenna had consistently dazzled on the red carpet. One standout moment came at the 2017 Golden Globes, where she turned heads in a sleek black beaded gown despite facing some wardrobe mishaps.

Jenna Dewan Tatum was only one of the handful of women who needed outfit help at the 2017 InStyle and Warner Bros. Golden Globes after-party. Fortunately, the Step Up actress took her stylist as her date.

A great stylist knows how to keep those outfit mishaps under the radar. Jenna seemed to have no problem as she arrived at the after-party in a sparkly Julien MacDonald bustier dress. The classic cut had a gorgeous ombre sequin effect at the skirt hem.

Jenna revealed that her stylist, E! “Fashion Police” host Brad Goreski, had to fix a last-minute dress rip. In a series of snaps, the dancer showed her date hand-sewing the front of her dress even before she left her house.
Later, the two had to duck into a bathroom stall in the women’s bathroom to fix another mishap, this time at the back of the dress. Jenna was able to dance the night away despite her unfortunate rips.
