Rhiannon is The Step Up star's third child. She already has a 4-year-old son Callum with Steve and an 11-year-old daughter Everly with ex-Channing Tatum. In a recent interview with PEOPLE, published on Thursday, June 20, Jenna, who was still pregnant at the time, spoke about her partnership with Crate & Kid.

She talked about her blended family and how she approaches it by evolving and adapting to "how life presents itself" to her. Jenna emphasized that her "kids always come first."

"Like everything else in life, you learn as you go. You shift and evolve and you adapt to how life is presenting itself to you," the actress told PEOPLE of her co-parenting philosophy. "That includes getting the new normal of a blended family."

She said that no matter what's going on, her children are her main priority. "Kids always come first. How you feel about your kids. How you treat your kids. Kids always come first above everything else," she shared.

The Rookie star shared that her two kids are prepared to welcome their sibling, and shared that her firstborn was the most excited for the arrival. "[Everly] is the oldest, so she gets it the most. And I think because she was still so young when Callum was born, this will be really special for her," Jenna said. "She's just going to have more responsibility, but she's also going to have more wisdom to her."

The actress, who is 43, says that she was excited to have a baby now that she is in her 40s. "It feels like I always knew that this would probably be the path for me, even as a kid. I think I knew life got better as I got older if that makes sense," Jenna told the publication. "I'd never understood that like, 'Oh no, it's all over once we get older.'"

She believes that having kids around helps a person stay young. "I do think there's something about being in the energy of kids and their lives," she said. "Just everything you go through while raising kids keeps you in a youthful place because that's what you're around. That's your life."

But as an experienced mother, she understands that adding a third baby to their already busy lives will take some maneuvering and collaboration. "There's three schedules versus two, and I do work full-time, and it's a giant moving calendar at all times," she says. "But I have an incredible partner and I've gotten it a little bit down now, how to multitask with schedules. You have to be okay to be open and ask for help when you need it."

The actress announced her pregnancy and debuted her baby bump in an exclusive interview and cover shoot with Romper magazine in January. Jenna was previously married to the Magic Mike star, and they tied the knot in July 2009. They welcomed their daughter Everly in 2013, but the two parted ways in April 2018 after nine years of marriage.
