Jenna Dewan opened up about her new boyfriend Steve Kazee, revealing that he has turned her into a wrestling fan.
“I watched WrestleMania by myself,” she confessed on Friday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

One good sign that a new relationship's going well? Their pop culture tastes start rubbing off on you. Jenna Dewan just revealed that her new boyfriend, Tony-winning actor Steve Kazee, has turned her into a professional wrestling fan–to the point where she even tunes into the sport when he's not around.
During an interview for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Dewan was seated next to John Cena, who rose to fame as a professional wrestler, and it was his presence that inspired her to open up about her newfound passion. “I know all about you,” Dewan told Cena, per People. “Steve, my boyfriend, is a huge wrestling fan. And he got me so into it!”
“I watched WrestleMania by myself,” Dewan said. “Like, he wasn’t even in town and I watched WrestleMania. Because I had to know if Becky Lynch was going to beat Ronda Rousey! I was by myself, I ordered it, and I was sitting there texting [Steve] like, ‘Do you know what’s happening?’ I had to! I had to know!”
But just in case you're concerned that Dewan, the former host of World of Dance, might be looking to trade her dance career for all things WWE, she was quick to rule that out: "I am absolutely not that tough. Never.”
In October, People confirmed that Dewan had been dating Kazee for several months, following her divorce from her husband of almost 10 years, Channing Tatum, who is now romantically linked to singer Jessie J. The couple filed for divorce in October, having been separated for a year.
"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," Dewan and Tatum wrote in a statement announcing their split in April of 2018. "There are no secrets nor salacious events at the root of our decision-just two best friends realizing it’s time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible."
