Channing Tatum hits back after ex-wife Jenna Dewan accused him of trying to 'conceal' Magic Mike millions

Channing Tatum hits back after ex-wife Jenna Dewan accused him of trying to 'conceal' Magic Mike millions

Dewan claimed Tatum 'created a complex web of LLCs, holding companies, and partnerships' to keep the money from her which he has denied

Channing Tatum has hit back at his ex-wife Jenna Dewan after she accused him of hiding assets during their divorce.

Actors Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan started dating in 2006 after they met on the set of Step Up.

They tied the knot three years later in a Malibu ceremony and went on to have one daughter together in 2013.

However, their love story wasn't to last and the pair announced they were separating in 2018, with their divorce becoming finalized in November of the following year.

But five years later, Tatum, 44, and Dewan, 43, are still embroiled in a legal battle over finances.

Dewan, who is now engaged to actor and singer Steve Kazee, is demanding a bigger slice of the profits from her former husband's 'billion dollar' Magic Mike franchise which was created when they were still married.

She claims that Tatum secretly tried to hide his earnings from the male stripper movies and live shows, creating 'a complex web of LLCs, holding companies, and partnerships' to 'dilute and conceal the value of, and licensing income therefrom, the community property share of Magic Mike intellectual property.'

However, the 21 Jump Street actor has vehemently denied these claims.

In new court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, he says: "I have always agreed for her to have an interest in the Magic Mike intellectual property and related entities.

"I have never denied her share of any community assets or income. Her claims that I have 'colluded with third parties' are completely false.

"She has had complete access to all our financial records for all activities during our marriage and since separation. I continue to provide her with updates regarding Magic Mike financial matters."

The Magic Mike revenue is just one of a number of unresolved legal issues for the former couple. Other ongoing issues include division of assets, spousal support and child support.

Dewan has recently filed a motion asking LA Superior Court for the Magic Mike revenue issue to be dealt with in a trial separate from the other issues.

Tatum meanwhile wants all their disputes to be settled together, 'to finalize our divorce case without further delay.'

Now engaged to actress Zoe Kravitz, 35, the actor also spoke out on paying spousal support to his former wife.

"I do not believe [Dewan's] request for spousal support is appropriate," he said in a court filing.

"Dewan works, is able to contribute to her own support and will receive one half of the community property, residuals and royalties and income from other investments.

"She will also have substantial investment income from the cash assets she has received in our divorce. She has received millions of dollars in cash assets.

"She will receive additional cash assets when the remainder of our estate is divided and post separation accounting is finalized.

"There are not, nor have there ever been, any orders for temporary spousal support. I believe she is now requesting spousal support from me to further delay our financial settlement."

UNILAD has reached out to both Dewan and Tatum's reps for comment.
