Channing Tatum Says His Divorce From Jenna Dewan Was 'Super Scary And Terrifying'

Channing Tatum said in an interview with Vanity Fair that his divorce from Jenna Dewan was "super scary and terrifying."

Channing Tatum, 42, the "Magic Mike" actor, said in an interview with Vanity Fair that his divorce from his wife of 10 years Jenna Dewan was "super scary and terrifying." He also added that he’s not sure he’ll ever get married again following his 2019 divorce from his wife, Fox News reported.

"Relationships are hard for me," he said. "Even though I am a bit of a monogamist. In business, I have no real fear of anything being destroyed. But heart things, when it comes to people I love, I have a really hard time. I end up trying too hard, you know?"

Tatum and his ex-wife got together in 2006 after meeting on the set of the movie "Step Up."

"We fought for it for a really long time, even though we both sort of knew that we had sort of grown apart," Tatum said, adding, "I think we told ourselves a story when we were young, and we just kept telling ourselves that story, no matter how blatantly life was telling us that we were so different."

Tatum added that becoming parents magnified the differences between the two of them, People reported.

"Because it is screaming at you all day long," he said. "How you parent differently, how you look at the world, how you go through the world."

"Your life just turns on its axis. This whole plan that you had literally just turns into sand and goes through your fingers, and you’re just like, ‘Oh, s---. What now?’"

Tatum said after their divorce, he focused mainly on his daughter Everly, 9, by whom his Sparkella children's book series was inspired.

"I just dropped everything and just focused on her," he said. "And it was truly the best possible thing that I ever could have done. Because in the alone time that I have with just me and her, we’ve become best friends."

Tatum started dating Zoë Kravitz, 34, last year after they met to discuss her directorial debut "Pussy Island."

Tatum added that his production company Free Association is also planning to do a remake of the 1990 Patrick Swayze movie "Ghost."

"Magic Mike's Last Dance" is set to release in theaters on Feb. 10.
