Nearly six years after Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum first split, new details about their lingering financial dispute have emerged.

According to court documents obtained by NBC News , the former couple are at odds over how to divide profits from intellectual property from the 2012 Magic Mike film, starring Tatum, and its related properties.

In an April 9 petition, an attorney for Dewan argues that Magic Mike, which raked in a reported $167 million at the box office worldwide and spawned two hit sequels, in 2015 and 2023, has grown into a multi-million cultural phenomenon that includes a spinoff reality series and a live stage show in Las Vegas and London.

Given that the extremely lucrative franchise was initially developed and co-financed by Tatum when he was still married to Dewan, it is therefore community in character, according to the petition.

Dewans lawyer also alleges that his clients ex-husband has made a calculated effort to dilute and conceal the licensing income generated by the franchise and instead collected one hundred percent of the profits without her knowledge.
