Jenna Dewan Announces Her Pregnancy Amid Mixed Emotions: ‘There’s a Bit of Joy & A Little Sadness’

Jenna Dewan is pregnant again! The dancer and actress announced she is expecting baby number 3 today, which will be her second child with fiancé Steve Kazee, a Broadway actor and producer. In the announcement, she opened up about some of the mixed emotions she’s feeling now.

In a January 2024 cover story for Romper, Dewan revealed that she is pregnant with what she says is her last child. She told the outlet, “You don’t race to the end because this is the last time. So there’s a bit of joy and a little sadness.”

“I’m really trying to enjoy it all and not try to just get through the days,” she added.

That’s easier said than done! Pregnancy isn’t all sunshine and roses, and it’s easy to count down the weeks until your precious little bundle arrives without stopping to enjoy the (often uncomfortable) moment. But Dewan is doing her best because she simply “loves” motherhood.

“I really love being a mom,” she told Romper. “That’s something I knew my whole life, but I really know it now.” So sweet!

The Rookie star is mom to son Callum, 3, with Kazee and to daughter Everly with ex Channing Tatum. “It’s always a journey,” she told the outlet about co-parenting with her ex. “It never ends. 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 manage all hard things.”

Dewan also shared a sweet video of how she’s enjoying this pregnancy with Kazee. In the video, her partner is sitting on the chair playing her a soothing song on the guitar. The camera pans over to show the Step Up actress taking a bubble bath with her bare baby bump on full display.

“Think if I make @stevekazee serenade me every night the baby will get his voice??” she captioned the intimate moment.

Many celebrities and fans commented on the video. Sharna Burgess wrote, “Congratulations mama!!!!!! I LOVE this and am so happy for you ♥️✨.”

Nina Dobrev said, “Congratulations!!!!!”

Kazee also commented, “I’d have a million babies with you!” he said, adding, “Also this baby will be getting a steady dose of @adriannelenker don’t you worry ❤️.” Our hearts are melting. We love a supportive king!

Dewan has previously shared how motherhood has changed her. “I believe that I can do and accomplish anything at any point with any amount of sleep with any amount of stressors in life,” the 43-year-old told Us Weekly. “[When you have a child], you know that you love something and you can commit and dedicate yourself to something so much, that you can do anything. [It] made me feel very empowered.”

These celebrity moms revealed their pregnancies in some awesome ways.
