They share a daughter, Everly, 4, but in 2015, Channing told reporters he was eager to have more kids. His wife on the other hand, was not on board. "Not yet," she said at the time. An insider told OK! Magazine that the 37-year-old was trying to get back into acting and didn't want to take on the responsibilities of a newborn and a toddler at the same time.

As if that wasn't enough, Star also reported in 2015 that Jenna was "fed up" being a housewife! Channing was traveling a lot for work and leaving the actress home alone with their baby and she was not pleased. "Jenna can't stand it when Channing suggests that she be the one to stay home. She might make less, but that doesn't mean she should call it a wrap on her career," a source said at the time.

Things got worse in 2017, when Star reported that Jenna was becoming increasingly jealous of the Magic Mike star's success. Though they started as equals on Step Up, Channing's career quickly surpassed Jenna's — and she was not happy. "This is definitely Channing's time to shine, but Jenna is getting tired of playing the supportive housewife," an insider dished at the time. "Her role these days is essentially looking after their daughter and she's really starting to panic over her languishing career."

Besides their disagreements over parenting, the couple also butted heads over Jenna's jealousy. According to a Star 2015 report, Dewan struggled with the fact that her husband had become a Hollywood sex symbol, and that he flirted with fan girls right in front of her.

And it got worse when Channing was called to Vegas to promote Magic Mike Live. Jenna was uncomfortable with the actor partying it up in Vegas without her. "She trusts him, but she isn't stupid," a source told Star in 2017. "As soon as she heard they would be rehearsing in Las Vegas, she demanded to come along." She even requested a family-friendly hotel where she could take their daughter Everly!

And according to PEOPLE, the actor moved out of their LA home months ago! “This has been a long time coming,” an insider told them. “Like any marriage, they’ve had their ups and downs over the years but they really started to grow apart within the last year.”
