“Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now.

Earlier this year, Dewan Tatum opened up about the marriage in an interview with Health magazine.
“When people say you guys have such a perfect life,I want to scream and tell them no one’s perfect,” she said. “I think there are such things as great fits. It is a great fit as long as you are growing together, and I think up until this point we’ve really grown together.”
Dewan Tatum added that they fight like other couples and “have days where we don’t really like each other.”

That’s so incredibly sad.. Of all the celebrity couples, you two always seemed so grounded and solid and in love. Good people are hard to find so if you find one, do all you can to hang on.
