In her new book, Gracefully You: How to Live Your Best Life Every Day, Jenna Dewan reveals the reasons she and Channing Tatum decided to split up in April 2018.

“I’d come to realize the dynamic I was in wasn’t serving me nor was it serving my daughter,” the actor-dancer writes, according to People. “First and foremost I had to accept the realization this isn’t working and had moved into hurting.”

In the book Dewan says she and Tatum decided to call it quits the night before she started filming World of Dance season two. They were able to keep news of the split hush-hush during most of production.

“The public saw Channing and I in this idealized romanticized light,” Dewan also writes in her book. “This made things difficult for me because I like being as honest and real as I can.”

Earlier this month Dewan told People that she was “gutted” by her marriage to Tatum ending. “It was so difficult for me,” she said. “It was the loss of an idealistic future for myself and my life. What does that now look like for me? Where do I begin? I met him when I was 24. I didn’t know life without Chan.

“It was a hard journey of growth and change,” she continued. “Ultimately, now I can honestly say that I’m living in a very joyful new place in my life, and I’m happy about it.”

That joyful new place in her life includes a relationship with Broadway actor Steve Kazee and a baby on the way. Dewan confirmed she and Kazee were expecting on September 24 via Instagram. “Becoming a mother is quite simply the absolute best most incredible thing that has ever happened to me,” she wrote. “@stevekazee you are a gift from above and i couldn’t be more excited to be expanding our family together…! Thank you guys for all the love!!” See the post for yourself, above.
