Well if Anna Faris and Chris Pratt splitting wasn't heartbreaking enough, I have officially lost faith in love. April 2018,after nine years of marriage, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan have announced their separation, and I am heartbroken.
I am sure I am not the only one who is upset about this as reactions from fans have been revealed all over the internet. Channing and Jenna met on the set of the Step Up movie, the event that brought two awesome actors and kind individuals together. His background of being a stripper and her background of being a dancer seemed to fit well! Why were they seen as such an admirable and amazing couple? Because they were.
They were the couple that always looked happy and made each other feel great; you could see it on TV. If you watch their epic singing battle on Lyp Sync Battle hosted by LL Cool J on Spike, their battle was not only hilarious but you could see the fun, flirty, and close connection that they had with one another. The way they are with their child on social media platforms is also adorable; they look like the perfect couple and family.
But sometimes, looks can be deceiving. I never expected for them to grow apart, as they seemed like the perfect celebrity couple. I read their sweet Instagram post for why they had separated, and although it was sweet, it was still heartbreaking of course.
Why have I lost faith in love? Well, because the celebrity couples that I look up to that have made me believe that love is forever has made me think otherwise. Channing and Jenna's marriage was one I looked up to because they were a talented, strong, kind, good looking, and truly loving couple in my eyes. They were kind of like Cinderella and Prince Charming to me.
I have heard of many celebrity couples divorcing; Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Gardner, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Anna Faris and Chris Pratt as mentioned before; the list is endless.
Well this was the last straw for me. Channing and Jenna, you broke my heart. However, I will still always be a die hard fan of both of you and your amazing talents. I hope you find happiness with either someone else or each other again, and that this is the right decision between both of you.
R.I.P. Channing and Jenna.
