Jenna Dewan, nearing her due date for baby number three, took to Instagram Stories to share that she's experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions and feeling like she's "about to pop." The 43-year-old actress, who is engaged to Steve Kazee, has been open about her pregnancy journey, sharing updates and photos with fans. Dewan is also mother to 11-year-old Everly with ex-husband Channing Tatum, and 4-year-old Callum with Kazee.
Tony winner Kazee proposed to Dewan during her pregnancy with Callum, but they are not rushing to walk down the aisle.
“My family’s like, ‘When guys, when?’ We’ll get there. I promise, we’re getting there,” the Step Up star exclusively told Us Weekly last year. “We at least have the location, so we’ve gotten [a] step further. But it’s just been so busy, honestly. Life has been so busy, and work’s been busy.”
Clearly, life has been busy as Dewan filmed The Rookie season 6 throughout her pregnancy while caring for Everly and Callum. Still, she insisted, work “helps balance my mind.”
“And The Rookie is truly the most dreamy, incredible job. Everyone is so lovely. It’s really fun, and it’s easy, and it flows, and so I think that’s a big part of why it’s easy for me to work pregnant,” she told Romper. “I’ve been on other sets that are obviously a lot more difficult. So I love it. You’re tired, but when is a mom not tired?”
Dewan has been open about her pregnancy, sharing photos, videos, and updates throughout her journey. She also recently celebrated Everly’s birthday, calling her oldest “incredible, wise … beautiful inside and out.”
“It is the most extraordinary gift of all to be your mother! We share a brain- maybe too much 😂 – and we share a heart. But you are all you and the world is a much more sparkly and magnificent place because you are here,” she wrote via Instagram. “Thank you for making me a mother, continuing to teach me so much about life and it’s my honor to be by your side forever and ever and ever. Happy birthday my Everly!!!! 😭❤️😍😍😍.”
