"Everly has been obsessed with Irish legends, folklore, music, for her entire life. Fairies, all of it," Dewan said of her daughter. "I showed her Riverdance and she was just like, 'I want to do this, Mom, find me a place.' "

"So I found this woman [at] Celtic Irish Dance Academy in Burbank. We were there last week and she loves it but it's hard," added Dewan. "I'm so proud of her for keeping with it. She's picking it up real quick."

While the Dancing with the Stars alum said she's continuing to support her daughter's passion, she doesn't "want to get too excited because I don't want her to get too pushed into it."

"I'm nervous that she'll fall out of love with it so I'm like, 'Yes, good, we're in a good place now,' " she added.

Dewan also revealed that Everly recently took a trip to Ireland with Tatum and "absolutely loved it."

"I think they did a fairy, magical scavenger hunt and she was obsessed," she said.
