Jenna Dewan is pregnant!
The actress and mom of two just announced she’s expecting her third baby, second with fiancé Steve Kazee. Her announcement video, shared on Instagram, shows Dewan relaxing in a bubble bath while Kazee serenades her. Then the camera pans over to her growing baby bump to reveal her exciting news!
Jenna Dewan Is Expecting Baby No. 3!
In an Instagram post captioned, “Think if I make @stevekazee serenade me every night the baby will get his voice??” Dewan, 43, shares the exciting news she’s been hiding for months – that baby number three is on the way!
The mom of two, daughter Everly, 10, with ex Channing Tatum, and son Callum, 3, who she shares with Kazee, is now in her second trimester and beginning to “feel alive again.” Dewan is excited to see her fiancé with a baby again.
“He’s so naturally domestic and nurturing, and he’s so loving, and he’s funny, and he’s really…he’s just incredible,” she told Romper about Kazee, 48. “It’s one of those things where people just have a natural ability for parenting. I’m so excited to see him with a little baby again.”
And this time around brings some changes. For one, she’s not having this baby during the pandemic when the world was shut down. She gave birth to Callum in March 2020, just weeks after the couple got engaged and the week before lockdown began due to Covid.
“It was wild to be postpartum at the same time as all those changes in the world,” she said. “Then also having all that downtime to really next, but then also being afraid.”
Six weeks after her daughter’s birth, Dewan went back to work on “Witches of East End,” so it was a different experience.
“That was hard on me. It was hard to be thrown into call times and still be in the throes of postpartum. It was also my first baby,” she said. “It was amazing, but it was really difficult. That’s why I was really spoiled with Callum, that whole year to do nothing.”
Dewan knows that with two children already and at 43-years-old, her pregnancy and postpartum experience could be totally different this time around.
“I’m not sure the body necessarily gets right back into action the way it did years ago. We’ll see,” she said. “I’ll report back, but I do think there’s a bit of ignorance, this dancer in me that just says, ‘OK, well, you just get it done.’ I’ve recovered great every time, but I’m open to whatever happens.”
After having her third baby, her time off will be partially dependent on whether or not her show, “The Rookie” gets a seventh season.
Some fans of the show commented on her pregnancy announcement video wondering if her character on the show, Bailey Nune, will also be expecting a baby.
“DOES THIS MEAN BAILEY IS ALSO PREGNANT!!?!?!” one follower wrote in the comments. Another added, “Ok, so we were right on twitter Bailey may be pregnant👀👀👀.”
A follow up video on Instagram of Dewan showing off her baby bump also had people in the comments wondering if her character will be expecting with her on-screen boyfriend, John Nolan.
“Congratulations!!!!! THIS MUST MEAN NOLAN BAILEY BABY!?,” one fan wrote. Another said, “That means Baby Nolan!!!!! 👏👏👏.”
Jenna Dewan Says Co-Parenting With Ex Channing Tatum Is “Always A Journey”
As any parents who have split up know, co-parenting can have its challenges. Dewan called co-parenting with ex Tatum, 43, “a journey.”
“It’s always a journey. It never ends,” she told Romper. “You just learn as you go and get better at certain things, and for me, Evie will always be my top priority. I just continually put her first. That’s how I can manager all hard things.”
The actress also said it was really tough to be away from her daughter after she gave birth to her second child.
“In the beginning, it was really tough,” she said. “And it was definitely hard on her in the beginning too, but she’s gotten into the flow with that a lot more. But she loves Callum. She really adores him.”
