Who Is Jenna Dewan’s Fiancé? All About Steve Kazee and Her Kids
Jenna Dewan, 45, says daughter Everly, 13, 'begged' her to do 'DWTS.' Here's her fiancé Steve Kazee, their two kids, and where things stand with Channing Tatum.
- Jenna Dewan, 45, is engaged to Tony-winning actor Steve Kazee, and the couple has two children together.
- She also shares daughter Everly, 13, with ex-husband Channing Tatum — and Everly is the reason she finally said yes to Dancing With the Stars.
- Dewan and pro Val Chmerkovskiy scored 19 for their tango on the season 35 premiere.
Jenna Dewan is back on a dance floor at 45 — and the person most responsible for it is her 13-year-old daughter, Everly.
The actress and dancer, who broke out in Step Up and now stars on ABC’s The Rookie, joined Dancing With the Stars season 35 this month. Here’s a look at her family, from her fiancé to her three kids.
Why did Jenna Dewan join ‘Dancing With the Stars’?
Because Everly asked her to. Dewan told E! News that she took her daughter to last season’s finale, and the show approached her afterward for the first time.
“She was a huge reason why I was so excited to do this, because she loved the show so much,” Dewan said of Everly, who she added “has input in everything” and “really has opinions when it comes to this.”
Dewan is paired with three-time finalist Val Chmerkovskiy. Their tango on the Sept. 16 premiere earned 19 out of 30, leaving her mid-pack among the 14 couples still competing.
Who is Jenna Dewan’s fiancé, Steve Kazee?
Steve Kazee is an actor and singer who won a Tony Award in 2012 for the Broadway musical Once. The two met in 2012 but did not start dating until 2018.
Kazee proposed in February 2020, a month before their first child was born. More than five years later, the couple is engaged but has not married, and Dewan has said they are in no rush to plan a wedding.
How many kids does Jenna Dewan have?
Three. She and Kazee have a son, Callum, born in March 2020, and a daughter, Rhiannon, born in 2024.
Her oldest, Everly, was born in 2013 during her marriage to Channing Tatum. Dewan has described the household as one big blended family.
What happened between Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum?
Dewan met Tatum on the set of the 2006 film Step Up, and the two married in 2009. They announced their separation in 2018 and were declared legally single in 2019.
The financial side took far longer: the former couple did not finalize the terms of their divorce until 2024, after a dispute that included Dewan’s claim to a share of the Magic Mike earnings. They co-parent Everly.
What else is Jenna Dewan known for?
Dewan trained as a dancer and toured as a backup dancer before acting. On screen she is best known for Step Up, the drama The Rookie, where she plays Bailey Nune, and hosting NBC’s World of Dance.

Dancing With the Stars airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+ and streams the next day on Hulu.
The take
Dewan has done competition dance her whole career, so a 19 in week one is a floor, not a ceiling. The story she’s telling this season — a mom talked into it by her kid — is the one that keeps a vote coming back.
