Jenna Dewan's appreciation for Kazee extends beyond the reminders to take it easy as she elaborated on how he has been particularly adept at handling her cravings and managing their children, Eve and Callum's schedules.

The actress also shared her excitement about expanding their family, which aligns with a cherished childhood vision of a joyful, bustling household.

"When I was a kid, I always had this vision — it was so specific. It was the Christmas tree around Christmas, and just kids and family and just chaos. Happy chaos all around. And I realized the other day, I was like, oh, in my own way, I am creating [that]. So that's exciting for me."

Having grown up as an only child, the experience of a big family is something Jenna Dewan finds particularly thrilling.

"Getting to experience a bigger family is really exciting," she explained.

Despite the joy and anticipation, Dewan admits this pregnancy has been more taxing, attributing the extra fatigue to managing her duties as a mother alongside her pregnancy. She noted that early nights have become a norm in her routine.

"Third pregnancy while chasing two other kids around definitely makes you a little more tired," she admitted.

Alongside her personal life, Dewan's involvement with Baby2Baby—a national nonprofit organization—shows her commitment to supporting other mothers, particularly those facing economic challenges.

"It's just amazing to be able to give these mothers, a lot of single mothers, the opportunity to have what they shouldn't be in need of, which are essential items as a mother, as well as spoiling them a little bit on Mother's Day was so beautiful," she expressed.

Through her active participation in charitable efforts and her journey into motherhood, Dewan continues to advocate for maternal support, emphasizing the importance of community assistance. She places importance on helping lighten the load for mothers, reinforcing her dedication to help mothers feel less burdened and more celebrated.
