Jenna Dewan Reveals Slow Wedding Planning with Fiancé Steve Kazee!

Jenna Dewan is stepping up to wedding planning.

44-year-old woman, in a relationship with Steve Kazee since 2020, has shared some insights about her forthcoming wedding, but admitted that the planning process is progressing at a leisurely pace.

Jenna shared with TopMob News’ Francesca Amiker at the LA Art Show organized by the American Heart Association on February 19 that they are currently in the process of making plans. She likened their progress to two cautious turtles, as her mother often urges her to move faster. However, there are many schedules and timing issues to coordinate.

The actress from “Step Up”, who has children Callum (age 4) and Rhiannon (8 months old) with Steve, as well as Everly (11 years old) with ex-partner Channing Tatum, once spoke about the challenge of coordinating everyone’s schedules in her life.

She went on to say, “Currently, everything in my life feels akin to those whiteboards where you list tasks or responsibilities for different people, like ‘So-and-so has this, and Callum has that.’ It’s all about coordinating schedules, which isn’t something I excel at. Therefore, the most difficult part is figuring out a schedule that works for everyone.

Even though Jenna didn’t specify an exact timeline, she confirmed that one crucial aspect – their decision with Steve – has been determined.

She expressed her belief that we’ve identified the location, saying, “I believe we’ve at least discovered it.” (For more of Jenna’s interview, catch TopMob News tonight, Feb. 20, at 11:00 p.m.)

As for her favorite part of the planning process? It’s the fashion.

The “Rookie” actress mentioned that she had been saving images of wedding dresses on Instagram and then forwarded them to her stylist, Jordan Dorso. (For more details from Jenna’s interview, catch the broadcast on TopMob News tonight at 11:00 p.m.)

However, prior to the wedding being organized, Jenna, who recently concluded her divorce from Channing in September and was about to face a trial over financial matters following their six-year long dispute, is dedicating her energies to her cherished position: mother of her three children.

She expressed her deep affection for motherhood so vividly, admitting that even the most challenging, tiring days still hold a special place in her heart. She adores every moment of it. Witnessing their growth, their self-discovery, and the emergence of their distinct personalities and idiosyncrasies brings her immense joy. She feels privileged to reflect their unique selves.

Read on to see what else Jenna has said about life as a mom.

She shared with Francesca Amiker of TopMob News during the Baby2Baby Mother’s Day event in Los Angeles in April 2024 that she allows individuals to be themselves, providing gentle guidance without imposing her own goals on them. Instead, she aims to observe and learn from them, using this knowledge to guide them.

This experience has been instrumental in deepening their connection, as she explained, “When you pay attention, you can observe how they mirror various aspects of you, much like a prism does with light. It’s almost like a stunning and profound journey of self-discovery and growth.

According to Jenna Dewan, she expressed to Women’s Health in July 2018 that it had never made sense to her that when one becomes a mother, they should set aside their sexuality. She instead believes that there is nothing more seductive than becoming a mother because you’re giving life, and this experience transforms you in the most profound way. However, she emphasized that this doesn’t mean changing who you are as a person on the inside just because you have a child.

Apart from praising her acting skills, the actress was equally delighted to share that her daughter, Everly, has developed a unique sense of fashion at a tender age. She loves wearing clothes in her preferred hues and accessorizing with anything sparkly. Essentially, she encourages her daughter to experiment with various styles as she grows.

She possesses an exceptionally distinctive fashion sense. Every morning, this girl carefully selects her outfits. She’s quite trendy and funky, as evidenced by her year-long purple wardrobe in 2017, which has now been replaced with clothing adorned with glitter. She shared these details with People magazine in December of that year. Her style is a mix of tomboyishness and whimsy – she often pairs big, chunky sneakers with leggings, tutus, and anything sparkling or magical. Currently, she seems to be particularly fond of this theme.

Jenna recognizes the significance of fostering Everly’s confidence and self-assurance from an early stage in life.

In her interview with People in 2017, she emphasized the significance of starting early and cultivating self-confidence based on her genuine identity. That way, when external forces attempt to make her doubt herself by saying things like ‘You’re not great’ or ‘You’re not amazing,’ she will have a strong inner voice to remind herself.

The Soundtrack star revealed that becoming a mother allowed her to feel more empowered.

She shared with Us Weekly in October 2019 that she feels capable of achieving any task at any time, regardless of the amount of sleep or stressors in her life. Having a child, she said, has given her the understanding and confidence that she can deeply care for something and dedicate herself fully to it. This realization has left her feeling incredibly empowered.

Is there anything more delightful than this pregnancy announcement? Jenna shared that she was expecting her first child with Steve Kazee, her partner, in September 2019 on Instagram, having welcomed Everly with her former husband, Channing Tatum, six years prior.

She expressed, “Being a mother is without a doubt the most wonderful, amazing experience I’ve ever had. @SteveKazee, you’re like a blessing sent from heaven and I can’t wait to grow our family with you…! This is truly exciting, and I want to thank everyone for their love!

The actress from “The Resident” spoke about the transformation in her approach towards work and achieving equilibrium that she’s experienced following the birth of Everly.

Everly, my daughter, has transformed my life significantly. Now, instead of focusing on myself, I ponder about how to support her and when I might be unavailable due to a project. I’m turning down more opportunities these days,” she shared. “As a dancer, you’re inherently a go-getter…I was anxious, but the universe seemed to reassure me, ‘We’ve got your back.’ I’m pursuing my passion more, but I don’t have to accept every invitation anymore,” she clarified at The Wrap’s Power Women Summit in October 2019.

2019 saw the publication of Dewan’s debut book titled “Gracefully You: Embracing Beauty and Harmony in Daily Life“. She also shared her apprehensions about rekindling love following her separation from Tatum the year before. Above all else, she was deeply worried about their daughter.

After that, there was my daughter. She’s quite reserved, humorously quirky, and somewhat guarded around men. It takes her a while to open up to people. I had a feeling she might be envious of anyone else I spent time with. How on earth would I find someone she approves of?” she pondered, her worries spiraling.

The former World of Dance host gushed about Everly on Instagram shortly before her 5th birthday.

What a delightful little fairy child! Thank you, Everly, for picking me to be your mom. I will always love, treasure, and stand by you throughout eternity. Each day, you teach me something new, and I am constantly amazed by your strength and wisdom. It’s hard to believe that it has been almost 5 years since this began…!! Love you more than the sky and all the stars,” she wrote.

Dewan and her daughter really get into the spirit of Halloween. As a matter of fact, Everly even prepared two different costumes for the eerie celebration back in 2019.

In a series of discussions, we presented numerous options until I set a firm cut-off date for decision-making. By the end of the day, she opted for an angelic theme during the day and a peacock motif for nighttime, according to Dewan’s statement on GMA.

Out of nowhere, there it was – a peacock! A peacock? I was utterly flabbergasted, wondering where on earth it had appeared, but my excitement couldn’t have been more palpable as I exclaimed, “Wow, look at that!
