Ellen DeGeneres apologised to actress and dancer Jenna Dewan during Wednesday's episode of her television show for accidentally referring to as "Jenna Dewan-Tatum".
Dewan and her husband, actor Channing Tatum, announced their separation on April 2. They have a five-year-old daughter named Everly.
Later in April, Dewan changed her name on social media from "Dewan-Tatum" to "Dewan".

But when Dewan arrived on the show to talk about her dance competition show World of Dance alongside her fellow judges, DeGeneres introduced the star using Dewan's former name.
