Jenna Dewan reflected on her version of the incident during her appearance on The Late Late Show. The actress shared that when her daughter watched the film, she couldn’t believe her mother was on the screen. Dewan said, 

“I was like, ‘Evie, Evie, Evie, look! That’s mommy! That’s daddy!’ And the first thing she said was, ‘That’s not you.’ I was like, ‘I know I look different.’ We watched for a few minutes and she goes, ‘Can we watch something good?’ She goes, ‘like, one of my movies.’ We were so dissed.”

Although Everly didn’t enjoy Step Up, Channing shared during an interview that she certainly is a fan of her father’s 2015 film Magic Mike.
