Jenna Dewan is gearing up to welcome her first child with husband Channing Tatum soon and according to her, he hasn’t been putting any pressure on to her to lose weight quickly after the birth and insists she eats what she wants. He won’t confront her at all and is leaving it up to her. She admits that she was worried about her changing body when she first found out but thinks that nine months gives you the time you need to adapt to the pregnancy and your new body:
“I thought my body was going to change so quickly with pregnancy that I’d freak out. But it was really gradual. There’s a reason women are pregnant for nine months; by the end, you’re ready to have this baby. Channing has been great. He takes the route of no confrontation, just support, saying things like, ‘Do whatever you want! What do you want to eat? I’m going to leave it up to you.’”
Speaking on becoming parents, Jenna says she can’t predict what they’ll be like and although they have tried to get ready there is no telling how the real deal will work out:
“Who knows what kind of parents we’ll be? We have two dogs, so we’ve had some practice! And as soon as this baby comes into the world, Channing and I will figure it out real fast.”
Speaking on marrying an actor and being ambitious herself, she says that they both work together to put their relationship first and everything else second, while still focusing on their careers too:
“Most actors and actresses are consumed by careers and getting ahead. Channing and I are ambitious, but our relationship comes first. We take everything day by day, saying, ‘OK, how can we make this work together?’”
