Jenna Dewan being supported by fiancé amid pregnancy fatigue
Jenna Dewan’s fiancé Steve Kazee has been “amazing” amid her battle with fatigue as they await the arrival of her third child.
The 43-year-old actress has 10-year-old daughter Everly with her ex-husband Channing Tatum, also 43, and four-year-old son Callum with Steve, 48, and has now opened up about his support while going through her latest pregnancy.
She told People: “(Steve) is really good with cravings and also amazing with helping out with Eve and Callum with their schedules.
“And he’s constantly reminding me to rest, which is really nice. He’s amazing in that way.”
Jenna went on about how she has spent years nursing her dream of having a large family: “When I was a kid, I always had this vision – it was so specific. It was the Christmas tree around Christmas, and just kids and family and just chaos. Happy chaos all around.
“And I realised the other day, I was like, ‘Oh, in my own way, I am creating (it.)’
“So that’s exciting for me.”
The actress added getting to experience a bigger family is “really exciting” after growing up as an only child.
Even though Jenna stressed she feels “great overall” as she gets ready for her third baby, she admitted she has been struggling with feeling “more tired”.
She added: “Third pregnancy while chasing two other kids around definitely makes you a little more tired.
“I find crawling into bed at 9pm is definitely different this pregnancy.
“But overall, everything’s been going well. And it’s been wonderful. But I’m without a doubt a little bit more tired.”
Jenna also said she had developed more empathy as a parent, adding women gain “an understanding” once they become a mum as they realise what “all” other mothers are “going through”.
