Jenna Dewan's Daughter's DWTS Dream Comes True

Jenna Dewan's decision to join the cast of Dancing With the Stars was significantly influenced by her daughter, Everly Tatum. The "Step Up" actress, who is a mother to 13-year-old Everly with ex Channing Tatum, shared that her daughter's immense love for the competition was a key factor in her acceptance.

Dewan explained that Everly's enthusiasm for the show, stemming from their attendance at last year's finale, made her excited about the possibility of competing. The star recounted her daughter's immediate recognition of the offer when she received it, pleading with her mother to accept. Everly's joy was palpable when Jenna performed for the first time on September 16, watching from the audience with pro dancer Val Chmerkovskiy.
