Jenna Dewan has reached the moment that many working actors with children eventually face: the kids wanting to take a look at their parents' movies or television work.
The actress shares one daughter, Everly, ten, with ex-husband Channing Tatum, who she was married to from 2009 until their 2019 divorce. She also has son Callum Michael Rebel Kazee, three, with fiancé Steve Kazee, who she has been with since 2018.
When it was time for Everly, who her parents have nicknamed "Evie," to learn just how her parents sparked a romance, the mom-of-two thought what better way to show her the movie that started it all, 2006's Step Up.

However, Jenna has revealed that it didn't spark much excitement for the ten-year-old, who appears to have had higher standards!
Speaking with Us Weekly, the The Rookie star revealed that she showed her daughter the iconic Y2K dance movie when she was "very young," and confessed that: "She was completely uninterested."

She even revealed that Everly's exact reaction was asking her mom: "Can we watch something good?" after the movie had ended.

Still, that doesn't mean Everly isn't interested in dancing at all, and in fact she has a passion for Celtic Irish dancing.

"She's always like, 'Mom, I want more dance classes, I wanna go again,'" adding: "She's just really passionate about it. It's effervescent." So it seems Jenna and Channing's love story still has been of some influence on their daughter nonetheless!

She'll say, 'Did you see that part I messed up?' And I say, 'I did see it, but it doesn't matter. We're here. This is a journey. We are learning, don't worry.' She likes that."
