It’s only been a day since Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum revealed they’re calling time on their nine-year-long marriage, but folks have already conducted a post-mortem on their relationship. Every Instagram post, social media message, and random observation has been assessed for meaning, for some kind of clue that the couple was angling towards a separation – and an interview from February might just contain a sign that the relationship was coming to an end.
Speaking to Health magazine last month, 37-year-old Dewan Tatum shrugged off the assumption that her relationship was always flawless, like one of those Anna Faris and Chris Pratt-type arrangements that’s unbreakable… until it isn’t.
“When people say you guys have such a perfect life, I want to scream and tell them no one’s perfect,” Dewan Tatum said.
I think there are such things as great fits. It is a great fit as long as you are growing together, and I think up until this point we’ve really grown together. Even if one starts to grow, the other catches up and vice versa. But I think a couple needs to be conscious and to want to do the work and be willing to look at the parts of you that need work. Both of us have been pretty aware and willing to do that. We’ve always had the same values. But we’re not perfect! Are you kidding? We fight like other couples, we disagree about things, we have days where we don’t really like each other.
Parts of that statement appear to be echoed in the former couple’s announcement of their separation, which said “love is a beautiful adventure which is taking us on different paths for now.”
