Jenna Dewan was "gutted" when her marriage to Channing Tatum ended.
The 38-year-old actress split from the 'Magic Mike' star in April 2018 after almost eight years of marriage and though they came to a "slow realisation" they wanted different things from life, rather than one event causing the breakdown of their relationship, she found the aftermath "so difficult".
She said: "I always say no one gets married to hopefully get divorced.
"People grow and they change and sometimes they don't grow and change together. So it wasn't a overnight thing that happened. There was no one event. I think it was just a slow realisation that we wanted different things.
