In February, they spent Valentine's Day together and also spent quality time with Channing and ex-wife Jenna Dewan's 6-year-old daughter, Everly Tatum. Jessie and the little girl had themselves a cute dance party at home.

In March, Channing posted a cryptic viral quote on his Instagram Story, which read, "Your relationship doesn't need to make sense to anyone, except you and your partner. It's a relationship. Not a community project." He captioned the post, "Facts."

Jessie appeared to be in good spirits in an Instagram video posted on Friday night, which showed her covering Whitney Houston's "Queen of the Night."
