Jenna Dewan marks son Callum’s 6th birthday with emotional tribute
Family milestones are getting a fresh spotlight after jenna dewan shared a sixth-birthday tribute to her son that reframed the day as both a celebration and a message to other parents. On Wednesday at 9: 00 a. m. ET, Jenna Dewan posted to Instagram about Callum Kazee, her first child with fiancé Steve Kazee, calling him her “ray of sunshine” and “the glue” of their household.
Jenna Dewan’s birthday posts put family memories and support front and center
The immediate change from the posts is the public emphasis on how the family is marking Callum’s birthday and what the day represents inside their home. In her message, Jenna Dewan described her son as “pure joy embodied” and wrote that the family’s love for him is “more than words could express. ”
She also pointed to how Callum’s sisters relate to him, writing that “Your sisters are obsessed with you, ” while describing him as “the glue. ” The post referenced Callum’s younger sister, Rhiannon Kazee, and his older half-sister, Evelyn, whom she shares with ex-husband Channing Tatum.
Still, the tribute wasn’t limited to birthday praise. Jenna Dewan added a personal note about the passage of time, writing, “I cannot believe you’re six, ” and said she would “never forget the day” he was born. The message ended with a pledge: “We will love you now and forever always!!”
Callum Kazee’s birth video shifts the conversation to C-section experiences
A second consequence of the birthday posts is that they extend beyond celebration into a direct acknowledgment of childbirth experiences, specifically C-sections. In another post, Jenna Dewan shared a video of Callum Kazee’s birth from a C-section.
She wrote that rewatching the video on his birthday left her “in tears all day, ” adding that his “beautiful spirit” made her emotional “then and now. ”
Alongside that reflection, Jenna Dewan included encouragement aimed at others: “Also for any mamas in a similar situation and having a c section, please know it can be beautiful and as powerful a bonding moment as any other you got this. ” The message positions the birthday content as both a personal family memory and a broader reassurance to parents who have had similar births.
Steve Kazee and Jenna Dewan’s timeline frames the milestone
The posts also clarify how the birthday fits into the family’s recent history. Jenna Dewan’s tribute noted that Callum is her first child with fiancé Steve Kazee. The two got engaged in 2020, a month before baby Callum Kazee was born.
Jenna Dewan and Steve Kazee started dating in 2018, soon after her divorce from Channing Tatum after nearly 10 years of marriage. The former couple have been committed to co-parenting their 12-year-old daughter Everly.
That said, the co-parenting tone referenced in the context underscores the family structure mentioned in the birthday message. Jenna Dewan previously told Harper’s Bazaar a month after the split, “We’re just getting used to it. We’re in a very positive energy together, trying to be the best parents to Everly. We support each other. ”
For now, the birthday tributes place the focus on the immediate celebration and the emotional weight of revisiting Callum Kazee’s birth. If Jenna Dewan continues posting from the day’s celebration, more details could follow later on March 5 in ET.
