Tatum and Dewan have been in the headlines recently for a legal battle over their earnings from the Magic Mike film franchise.
However, court trouble seemed to be far from her mind when Dewan was spotted with little Callum on Friday.
Crossing the parking lot, she kept a close eye on her son and put a hand on his shoulder as he ran alongside her.
Jenna Dewan covered her burgeoning baby bump in a floral maternity dress while out with her son Callum, four, in Los Angeles this week.
The 43-year-old shares Callum with her fiancé Steve Kazee and also has a 10-year-old daughter named Everly by her ex-husband Channing Tatum.
Jenna is about to be a mother of three: she is expecting her second child with Steve and also has daughter Everly with her ex Tatum.
Their latest sighting comes after Tatum sent his lawyers to court last month to fight Dewan’s demands for a larger share of the profits from his ‘billion-dollar’ Magic Mike movies and live shows. .
Dewan was asking the court to ‘bifurcate’ the former couple’s dispute over income from the sexy male stripper franchise, of which she claims half since the character was created while they were still married.
If their request were granted, that would mean their Magic Mike billionaire dispute would be decided in a trial on its own and other unresolved issues, such as child support and spousal support, would be dealt with in a separate trial.
Tatum vehemently opposed the fork, accusing Dewan of “delaying tactics to prolong the resolution of our financial agreement… and seeking a windfall on my part.”
But last month in Los Angeles Superior Court, where neither star appeared, Dewan’s lawyer, Samantha Spector, responded: ‘We’re not delaying at all.
‘My client wants this to move forward. We just want to try it in a certain order,” addressing the topic of Magic Mike first.
“The Magic Mike intellectual property was created during the marriage and everything derived from it is community property.”
Tatum’s attorney, Kristina Royce-Grotzinger, admitted before Judge David Wasserman on Wednesday that “there is no doubt that the Magic Mike intellectual property was created during the marriage.”
Tatum (center) starred in and co-financed the film, which became a critical and box office hit and grossed around $167 million worldwide.
But he added that it was vitally important to consider “all the work Tatum did” on Magic Mike after he and Dewan broke up.
Judge Wasserman decided not to rule on the May 15 bifurcation of the Magic Mike issue.
Instead, he scheduled a settlement conference on Oct. 3 to give the two time to resolve their differences.
If there is still no agreement, they will go to a trial preparation conference on Nov. 15, when the judge will decide on the bifurcation request or turn it over to the judge presiding over the trial to decide.
Dewan claims in court papers that he is entitled to half of the Magic Mike intellectual property and accuses Tatum of “engaging in a variety of tactics calculated to…prevent its equitable division.”
Dewan has claimed that she is entitled to half of Tatum’s earnings from the Magic Mike film franchise because they were still married when he starred in the film.
Dewan is now engaged to actor and singer Steve Kazee and is expecting their second child next month.
Her ex secretly conspired with others to hide his Magic Mike earnings from her, she claims, and after they split, he “unilaterally transferred” a portion of those intellectual property rights to a separate company “without her knowledge or consent.” .
But Tatum denies her allegations, saying, “I have always accepted that Dewan has interests in the intellectual property of Magic Mike and related entities.”
‘I have never denied (Dewan) his share of any community assets or income. His claims that I have “colluded with third parties” are completely false.
‘She has had full access to all of our financial records for all activities during our marriage and since the separation. She continued to provide him with updates on Magic Mike’s financial matters.”
While the couple officially divorced in November 2019, issues such as Magic Mike’s earnings, division of assets, spousal support, and child support for their 10-year-old daughter Everly remain unresolved despite years of legal battles.
Meanwhile, Dewan is now engaged to actor-singer Steve Kazee and expecting their second child next month, while Tatum is engaged to actress Zoe Kravitz, 35.
Magic Mike’s success story, based on Tatum’s previous experiences as a stripper in Florida, began in 2012 with the first film. He and the film’s director, Steven Soderbergh, co-financed the project.
Its $7 million investment became a box office hit, earning $167 million worldwide. Then came two more movies, followed by touring striptease shows that have also been huge hits.
Dewan, who shares a daughter with Tatum, began dating Steve Kazee in 2018 and the couple got engaged in February 2020.

At a hearing last month, Dewan’s attorney, Spector, described the Magic Mike business as “a potential multibillion-dollar asset.”
Tatum’s lawyer, Jacqueline Combs, insists that the Magic Mike franchise made most of his money after he and Dewan had already broken up.
And Tatum says that while he and several outside business partners had invested money, time and effort into making the Magic Mike brand a success, “Dewan has not contributed any efforts to improve the Magic Mike intellectual property.”
‘Contrary to what Dewan claims, I have only acted in the best interests of the community during our marriage and since separation.
‘I have made significant post-separation efforts to enhance Magic Mike’s intellectual property and have also licensed my name and likeness to the related business.
‘I believe these post-separation efforts give rise to my separate property rights in those assets, but they have also benefited the community.
“Without my post-separation efforts, the Magic Mike entities would have failed.”
As for Dewan’s claim that she’s been secretly hiding money in a trust, Tatum adds, “She’s wrong.”

‘Together, Dewan and I established an irrevocable trust to invest in certain businesses and made Everly the sole beneficiary. This was done with Dewan’s knowledge and participation.’
Tatum is also against paying spousal support to his ex-wife, saying, “I don’t think (Dewan’s) request for spousal support is appropriate.”
‘We had a short-lived marriage of eight years and eight months and separated over six years ago.
‘Dewan began living with her fiancé (Steve Kazee) shortly after our separation five and a half years ago…
‘Dewan works, can contribute to his own livelihood and will receive half of the community property, residuals and royalties and income from other investments.
‘You will also earn significant investment income from the cash assets you received following our divorce. She has received millions of dollars in cash assets….
‘You will receive additional cash assets when the remainder of our estate is divided and post-separation accounting is finalized.
‘There are not and have never been orders for temporary spousal support.
“I think he’s now asking me for spousal support to further delay our financial agreement.”
