Jenna Dewan, who has recently starred in the second season of the Fox medical drama 'The Resident', has officially filed for a divorce from her husband, Channing Tatum. The 'Step Up' stars had announced their separation in April and almost six months later they have finally decided to make it official. 

According to documents obtained by The Blast, Dewan filed for the divorce on Friday in Los Angeles and has apparently hired celebrity attorney Samantha Spector. Citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their parting, both Tatum and Dewan have asked for joint legal and physical custody of their five-year-old daughter, Everly Elizabeth Maiselle Tatum, along with Dewan's request to restore her name back to Jenna Dewan instead of Jenna Dewan Tatum. The couple's decision to seek joint custody of their daughter proves that their split was mutual.
