It all comes back around! Jenna Dewan joked she’s worried her daughter, Everly, will follow in her “sassy” footsteps once she’s a teen.
“I’m just over here prepping for teenage years,” Dewan, 42, exclusively told Us Weekly of her daughter, 10, on Wednesday, June 7, while promoting her partnership with Mother’s Cookies for their Stop and Taste the Frosting campaign. “I know what I was like as a teenager, so I can only imagine my karma that I have coming to me.”
The Step Up actress — who shares Everly “Evie” with ex-husband Channing Tatum — confessed: “I was not, not sassy, let’s put it that way. I was not, not without an opinion, so I can’t wait.”
Although Evie just turned 10 on May 31, Dewan explained that she is already so grown up. (The Connecticut native and the Magic Mike actor, 43, called it quits in 2018 after nearly nine years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized the following year.)
“I’ve had all the emotions this week. I’ve had, like, big tears. I’ve also had just, like, my heart exploding with pride for her,” the Rookie star told Us. “And we had a lot of milestones in this one 10th birthday. She had her first school trip and we went to Disney, then we did all these fun things. And it’s great.”
The Supergirl alum, who also shares 3-year-old son Callum with fiancé Steve Kazee, revealed she’s “still mind-blown” that her daughter is in double digits.
“I still sometimes look at her like she’s still my little baby. My mom had told me that [would happen],” Dewan recalled. “She’s like, ‘There’ll be a moment where you go, I made this. Oh my god.’”
