Jenna Dewan has pressed pause on her wedding planning.
The 41-year-old The Rookie actress has revealed that her wedding with fiancé Steve Kazee are currently on hold at the moment — but was quick to state that they are still very much engaged.
In a virtual interview with E!’s Daily Pop, she spoke about how the Omicron variant of COVID-19 has led to them deciding to take their time with wedding preparations:
“…Only in the sense of, ‘Here we are again!’ You know?
Can we gather, how safe is it? So we’re going to take our time, we’re not rushing and we’re going to see kind of how the next year shakes out and go from there.”
Jenna went on to share her dream wedding with Steve, saying:
“[We want] to be able to plan a beautiful get-together, whether it’s small, medium or big, but the world has some other plans at the moment.
It is what is is… We’ll get there when we get there.”
Jenna and Steve became engaged back in February 2020, following the birth of their first child together, son Callum.
Months ago, Jenna sweetly commemorated the day she and Steve first met almost a decade ago! Speaking to The Knot, she revealed:
“About nine years ago, I happened to be in New York, so I took my mom to see Once on Broadway. We cried our eyes out and fell in love with the show—in particular, the lead actor, Steve Kazee. We thought he was just so talented. And funnily enough, my mom had the biggest crush—she couldn’t stop saying, ‘he’s the cutest, so sensitive, so handsome.’ She just kept going on and on.
So I said, ‘let’s wait for him at the stage door so you can say hi.’ So we did. We waited for a few minutes, and he appeared. I was pushing her forward to say hi, and Steve and I just had one of those eye-catching moments.”
She added of their first meet:
“It was very quick, but it struck us both. It was a moment. My mom and I told him what a great job he did and how it was such an amazing show, and that was it. We both went off into the night. But I never forgot the moment.”
And she also talked about them meeting again, years later:
“Life went on, as it does. Many years later, we were in different situations. I was single again, he was single. He messaged me and said something like, ‘Hey, I don’t know if you remember me, but how are you?’ And I was floored. Of course I remembered him. And that moment in 2012. And it was just kind of fate—it was totally meant to be.”
