Jenna Dewan is an American actress and dancer. Her relationship history is best known for her nine-year marriage to popular actor Channing Tatum.
The pair met on the set of the 2006 film Step Up and were together for almost a decade.

They share an 8-year-old daughter, Everly, who they co-parent together. In April 2018, Jenna and Channing released a statement announcing their split, and the world was shocked.
Not all hope was lost, though, as just a few months later, in October 2018, Jenna had officially begun dating Steve Kazee…
Steve Kazee: Dating History
Steve Kazee is an American actor and singer, who has had success with roles both on-stage and on-screen.
He dated Smash actress Megan Hilty for six years before calling it quits in 2012.
“The lessons I’ve learned about my time with Megan, six wonderful years, will live with me forever,” he told Blouin Artinfo about Megan Kathleen Hilty in July 2013. One year after her split from Kazee, she married musician Brian Gallagher.
“I have zero angst or anxiety about her. She’s a warm, caring, immensely talented, lovely human being.”

Kazee has also had brief relationships with Michelle Beadle and Christina Perri. To public knowledge, his relationship with Jenna Dewan is one of his most serious to date.

Proving that the world works in mysterious ways, Jenna Dewan and Steve Kazee actually met years before they began dating.
They met way back in 2012 while Steve Kazee was starring in the musical “Once,” for which he won a Tony award.

Jenna attended the show, and they chatted, but Jenna was still married to Channing Tatum at the time.
However, years down the line, when Jenna and Channing announced their mutual split, Steve reached out and revealed that he had never forgotten Jenna. The rest, as they say, is history.

“I definitely think in the past few years, there’s been an emphasis on simplicity and on presence. I’m much more about making what’s important really count, which is each other and our family and having a great time celebrating together.”

Jenna Dewan is no Olivia Palermo, but the American actress knows how to dress — whether it’s for a simple errand or for the red carpet. She’s one of the few celebrities who can actually put together a fabulous outfit without having to resort to a stylist.
In fact, we have yet to see her do a fail — unless, of course, you count the ensemble she wore at LAX in January 2014 as a flop.
Her plane-ride style included a nautical striped tee worn over skinny jeans that were folded up at the ankles. She capped off her look with a classic khaki trench coat, some dark sunnies, a tote, and light brown suede booties.

The look was almost Parisian chic but, somehow, not quite.
You know what? She looked good, and that’s all that matters. Jenna gave us her own take on French fashion by sporting Western booties with the outfit instead of, say, flats.

Speaking of the booties, those look quite familiar, don’t they? They’re the “Harrow” booties from Rag & Bone.
Unlike the celebrity-favorite Rag & Bone “Newbury” boots, these shoes have shorter shafts that feature a flattering silhouette detailed with a curved notch at the center front.
They also come with contrast crisscross straps that wrap around the ankles and buttons for fastening. Below is a closer look at the Harrow for you:

Do you like these booties? Their heels are a little taller than those of the Newbury — around 3.5 inches vs. the Newbury’s 3.25 inches. If you want Jenna’s booties, you can grab them for less at Shopbop.
They’re currently on sale — down to $346.50 from $495. You can have them in black suede, black leather, navy, and burgundy as well.
