Channing Tatum and wife Jenna Dewan have announced they are splitting.
The couple revealed the news they were ending their nine-year marriage in a social media post on Monday (2 April) night, telling fans they had βlovingly chosen to separate as a coupleβ.
In the joint statement, they said: βHey world! So... We have something we would like to share.
βFirst off, it feels odd that we have to share this kind of thing with everyone, but itβs a consequence of the lives weβve chosen to lead, which we also happen to be deeply grateful for.
βWeβre living in an incredible moment in time, but itβs also a time where truth can easily get distorted into βalternative factsβ so we want to share the truth so you know that if you didnβt read it here then itβs most certainly fiction.
βWe have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple,β they admitted. βWe fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together.
βAbsolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now.
βThere are no secrets nor salacious events at the root of our decision β just two best-friends realising itβs time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible.β
They added they will βalways be loving dedicated parentsβ to their four-year-old daughter Everly, and would also not be commenting beyond their statement.
βWe thank you all in advance for respecting our familyβs privacy,β they said.
Channing and Jenna met while filming 2006 film βStep Upβ and married in July 2009.
They welcomed their daughter four years later in May 2013.
