Earlier this week, I pondered the question in a post about Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum of how long one should wait after to date after a split. The pair, who parted ways six months ago, seem to have moved on successfully. First, Channing was spotted with singer Jessie J, and now Jenna may have found her next serious relationship.
An inside source told Us Magazine that the actress is “seeing someone new” and added that the new man is not “well known.” I can imagine it must be refreshing to date someone with whom you don’t have to “talk shop” all of the time. I, for one, have never dated another writer, and I think I’m better for it. As long as Jenna’s happy, that’s all that matters.
As for Channing, People reports that he and Jessie J are still seeing each other, but a source said that “They want to keep it low-key.” Somehow I think it’s going to be easier for Jenna to keep things low-key with her new guy. The insider went on to say that both Channing and Jessie J are both busy, he with work and taking care of his four-year-old daughter, Everly, and she with her career. Despite their outside commitments, “It is an exciting time for both of them.”
Knowing Channing and his dancing past, it’s not really surprising that he fell for a musician, as People’s source noted, “He loves music, likes to dance and loves the whole performing aspect of his own career.”
And as for the future, which I can’t believe I’m even writing about since these two have only been dating for a few weeks, a film source pointed out, “It’s a new thing for them and too early to see if it will go anywhere. But for now they are having fun and getting to know each other.”
So far, this split has been quite the amicable one and it looks like both parties are happy, so, even though divorce stinks, it’s good that both Channing and Jenna emerged relatively unscathed. Other celebrity couples should take note.

To me they feel like they’d grown apart a while ago and sorted things out before they announced the divorce, so now it looks pretty well ordered and harmonious. It’s the way to go if your marriage is the object of public interest imho.
Yes, civility is a novel thing these days, isn’t it? Good for them and good for their daughter.
I seem to remember Jessie J is a dancer, as well as a singer?
For what it’s worth, husband and I are both ‘academics’ and it’s quite nice to be with someone who understands/can empathise 🤷🏼♀️
I honestly, truly cannot understand how Channing is considered attractive at all. He’s got such tiny little eyes in a big, wide face and a thick neck. Just… not my thing at all. That sounds so mean. I’m glad they’re taking the high road for their daughter’s sake.
He looks like a big toe with facial features.
He’s much more attractive in motion. He’s an amazing dancer, has a great body (sometimes–lol) and looks better in film than stills, I think.
Plus he has a good reputation as being a nice guy, up for anything, a good interview, hard worker, etc. He’s always come across as a good dad and that he loved Jenna (while they were together). All of those things made him hot to me.
This may sound silly, but I clearly remember reading an interview with them a few years ago and thinking, “Wow! They’re both SO in love, and she’s so incredibly gorgeous! I wish I was that adored by my husband!” (Who loves me very much, but is a typical husband after 38 years of marriage, and never publicly “gushes” over me!!) . I wondered what life must be like when you are that healthy and gorgeous and young. So their divorce saddened me, but also made me appreciate the love that sticks together for decades, even if it isn’t as sparkly on social media! Wishing them both the very best, and hope they each find lasting love with others as they co-parent amicably.
I really does feel like one of those situations where they both still have a lot of love for each other, but it just didn’t work.
So there, Channing! I’m not a loser! He can’t be papped because he’s a nobody but he exists!! Of course he exists!!!
