NEED TO KNOW
Jenna Dewan plans to walk down the aisle soon!
In an exclusive chat with PEOPLE at the opening night of the Borrowed Spotlight exhibition on Tuesday, Feb. 3, Dewan, 45, says she is “getting closer” to finalizing her wedding plans with her fiancé of six years, Steve Kazee.
“Oh, my goodness. I think so,” Dewan says at the Los Angeles event, adding that they plan to wed later this year. “There’s been so many ideas. So many different discussions, and finding the right one at the right time. We’re planning on it. We’re getting closer.”
Dewan and Kazee announced their engagement in February 2020. The couple went on to have two children together: son Callum, 5, and 20-month-old daughter, Rhiannon. Dewan shares her third child, daughter Everly, 12, with her ex-husband Channing Tatum.

Dewan’s wedding had been put on hold until her divorce from Tatum, 45, was finalized in September 2024, six years after their split.
The mom-of-three also tells PEOPLE that the advantages of waiting so long to get married are that her children can now be a part of the wedding. “That’s the great thing. Now we have three to participate,” Dewan says. “They’ll all have very distinct jobs in different parts of the service.”
Dewan also discusses how her children are taking after her when it comes to their interests. “So far, Evy is dancing. Callum is dancing as well. He’s only six, but he’s had a recital, and he loves the stage. We laugh, how could the child of both of us not love the stage right?” she says.
“…Rhiannon … she’s very vocal. She sings along to songs. So she might be the one who gets Steve’s singing voice,” adds Dewan.

Back in December, Dewan revealed that her daughter Everly has been “very much involved” with the process of planning her wedding.
“She has input in everything and she really has opinions when it comes to this…It’s like, ‘Let’s make sure that the party is fun, Mom.’ That’s important,” Dewan told PEOPLE.
Dewan added that Everly has even given her thoughts on her wedding dress.
“She’s very opinionated. Yes. She’s very sweet about it, but she’ll tell me if she doesn’t like it,” said Dewan.
At the exhibition — which is dedicated to supporting Holocaust survivors and sharing their stories — on Tuesday, Dewan honored Risa Igelfeld, a 108-year-old Holocaust survivor, who was featured among a series of powerful portraits photographed by Bryce Thompson.
