Channing Tatum, Jenna Dewan settle divorce after 6 years

Six years later, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan have finally settled their contentious divorce.

The “Step Up” stars-turned-spouses, who were married from 2009 to 2018, are just waiting for a judge to give the green light on their binding agreement, obtained Thursday by TMZ.

A judge still has to sign off on the agreement, the details of which are not public, though the outlet reports that it covers assets as well as child support concerning the former couple’s daughter, Everly, 11.

The “Magic Mike” star, 44, and “The Rookie” actress, 43, were long regarded as a fan favorite couple, with news of their split shocking the public in April 2018.

“We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple. We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together. Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now,” the couple said at the time.

They added in their joint statement that there were “no secrets nor salacious events” that led to the split, “just two best friends realizing it’s time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible.”

Adding that they were “still a family,” the actors said they would co-parent Everly, and Dewan filed for divorce that October. They were declared legally single the following fall and by February 2020, Dewan announced her engagement to Steve Kazee. The pair welcomed son Callum the following month, as well as daughter Rhiannon this June.

Earlier this year, Dewan and Tatum wanted each other to testify in court regarding division of property, reimbursement claims and other financial matters in their divorce, including matters related to the “division of the ‘Magic Mike’ intellectual property.”

On Thursday afternoon, Dewan’s Instagram story included a 2001 photo of Nicole Kidman widely believed to be on the way out of her attorney’s office and rejoicing after finalizing her divorce from Tom Cruise.

Last Halloween, news broke that Tatum and Zoë Kravitz were engaged after two years of dating. The pair met when Kravitz pitched him her feature directorial debut, the star-studded “Blink Twice,” which starred Tatum and released this summer.

Lana del Rey

Lana Del Rey gets marriage license in Louisiana

“Born to Die” singer Lana Del Rey appears ready to marry her boat captain boyfriend Jeremy Dufrene.

The pair picked up a marriage license Monday in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, according to TMZ. The outlet said the license hasn’t been returned and documented, so there’s so far no record of a wedding on file. The license is good for 30 days.

Del Rey and Dufrene were first believed to have been photographed together when the singer joined the outdoorsman for a Bayou boat tour among Louisiana’s alligators.

The pair made their relationship public on Sept. 7 when they joined Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at model Karen Elson’s wedding at Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village, according to People.

Del Rey told Harper’s Bazaar she wasn’t in love in a magazine that came out at the start of the year.

“I’m definitely not in love right now,” she said. “No.”

But, the New York City native, born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, conceded, “it’s coming for me at some point.”

Del Rey’s past beaus have included other musicians, a filmmaker and a former Oklahoma police officer. She was also rumored to have been close to Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose, with whom she spent time in 2012.

The Lafourche Parish County Clerk’s office hasn’t responded to a request to confirm Del Rey’s marriage license.

Billy Joel

Billy Joel is hitting the road with Stevie Nicks, Sting

NEW YORK — Fresh off wrapping his Madison Square Garden residency with a performance including Axl Rose, piano man Billy Joel plans to hit the road in 2025 — and he’s taking Sting and Stevie Nicks along for the ride.

The 75-year-old “My Life” singer announced five 2025 shows with his fellow septuagenarian superstars on Instagram. Tickets for the shows go on sale to the general public Thursday with a presale for Citi card members that started Monday.

Joel and Sting plan to rock Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Feb. 8. Sting shared an advertisement for that “One night, one stage” event on his social media pages.

Nicks will join Joel for a show at Ford Field in Detroit on March 29. She’s doing a solo show there Sunday.

Sting and Joel will team up again in Syracuse for an April 11 performance at the JMA Wireless Dome. Then they’re at it again with two shows in May, starting with a stop at Charlotte, North Carolina’s Bank of America Stadium on May 10, followed by a May 23 gig in Salt Lake City.

On Friday, bad weather forced Joel to move a St. Louis performance with Sting from Friday to Monday.

Joel, who was born in the Bronx, last performed in New York City on July 25 when he played the Garden for the 150th time. Guests at that sold-out show included former President Bill Clinton.

He will wrap up 2024 on Long Island at a New Year’s Eve performance at UBS Arena.
