“The past year and a half has brought so many things into my life that have filled me with the deepest of gratitude,” the Shameless actor shared.

“A partner who radiates love, warmth, and kindness. A partner who has faced some of the hardest moments life can deal you with grace, humility, and a desire to learn from the ups and downs. A partner who is continuously growing from those lessons and who supports my growth as a person with love, unwavering support, and understanding.”

And if those words weren’t quite enough, the loving dad-to-be also went on to claim his luck at having Dewan’s daughter, Everly in his life.

“Jenna also brought with her one of the greatest gifts one could ever imagine…her beautiful daughter,” he announced.

“Evie burst into my life like a supernova and has continued to burn so brightly in it. I have learned so much about parenting already from watching how amazing Jenna is with her and Evie has taught me so much about what it means to love and communicate with a child and I can’t wait to give her a sibling and make our little family a little bit bigger.”

This beautiful news is a welcome relief from the devastating blow felt all around the world when Dewan and ex-husband Channing Tatum announced the end of their marriage and the death of love as we knew it.

The formerly loved-up couple who wed in 2009, announced their amicable split after nine-years together in April 2018, citing that they were still in love but had simply come to the end of their union.

Tatum, who is dating singer Jessie J, is apparently delighted at Dewan’s news.

“Jenna told Channing that she was pregnant and wanted to make sure he knew before she announced it,” a source told E! News. “He is happy for her and was very supportive.”

The baby is not Dewan’s only exciting news, she also has new wellness book coming out next month titled, Gracefully You: How to Live Your Best Life Every Day.

“It’s all about learning to connect deeply and find happiness in every aspect of your life through all the ups and downs,” she posted on Instagram speaking about her project. “It’ll be full of stories and photos from my life, as well as suggestions for home, health and relationships to help you live your best life.”

Fans can expect photos along with Dewan’s advice for happiness, physical health, mental health, motherhood, self-care, meditation, nutrition and friendship.
