Jenna and Channing got hitched in 2009. The actress filed for divorce in 2018. The exes quickly hashed out a joint custody agreement over their daughter Everly.
However, they have failed to reach a settlement over their assets including Magic Mike.
Channing launched the franchise during the marriage. Magic Mike started as a film series but expanded with a reality show and successful live shows.
Sources said Jenna feels she was instrumental in helping Channing create Magic Mike. She helped find the choreographers for the show and moved to London to help the actor put together the live show.
The two have pushed the hearing to set a trial date for over a year and said they were attempting to work out a settlement. Jenna’s recent filings indicate the talks went nowhere.
