Jenna Dewan’s 13-Month-Old Rihannon Steals Spotlight in Viral Dance Clip
Hello, I’m Riley Carter and I promise not to overthink this. Okay, but like… why is this a thing? Let’s unpack it without trying too hard.
Jenna Dewan just proved that her little one is already mastering the art of attention-grabbing. On July 31, the 44-year-old actress and dancer posted a sneak peek from her home gym rehearsal where she’s dancing to Carl Carlton’s “She’s a Bad Mama Jama.” Instead of focusing on mom’s slick moves, Instagram followers were all about her 13-month-old daughter, Rihannon, who cute-ly tugged at her shirt and stared straight into the camera like a pro.
The video shows Jenna, known for backing up Janet Jackson and headlining Step Up, smoothly leading a choreographed routine while Rihannon, whom she shares with fiancé Steve Kazee, looks on. Jenna captioned the clip “Rhiannon you scene stealer,” and honestly, the internet could not agree more. According to E! News, fans flooded the comments with heart emojis and “OMG” reactions within minutes of the post going live.
This isn’t the first time we’ve gotten a glimpse into Dewan’s parenting chronicles. Back in February, she told E! News that she loves even the exhausting, straining days because they reveal her children’s unique personalities. She has three kids in all: Everly, 12, with ex-husband Channing Tatum; Callum, 5, and baby Rihannon with Kazee.
In an April interview at the Baby2Baby Mother’s Day event, Jenna explained her gentle guidance approach: “I let them be who they are and I try to guide them gently without putting my own agenda on them.” This strategy, she said, turns motherhood into a two-way mirror. As she told People Magazine, when you raise kids with this mindset, “they reflect back all aspects of yourself and it’s like a prism of who you are.”
Jenna has also championed the idea that motherhood and sexuality are not mutually exclusive. In a 2018 Women’s Health feature, she dismissed the notion that moms must dim their inner fire. “There’s nothing sexier than becoming a mother. You give life,” she said, adding that embracing your identity post-baby is vital.
Her eldest, Everly, has already shown off her strong sense of style—purple-only outfits for a year, chunky sneakers paired with glittery tutus, and that signature tomboy flair. Jenna credits these early fashion experiments with building confidence to combat outside influences later on.
Clearly, Dewan’s philosophy is paying off. Rihannon’s impromptu shirt tug in that dance video may be the cutest proof yet that this little mini-me is soaking up more than just her mom’s moves. From parenting wisdom to viral moments, Jenna Dewan continues to redefine what it means to balance spotlight and family life.
Anyway, that’s the scoop. You decide if it lands.
