Jenna Dewan stripped down for her September 2018 Women’s Health cover photoshoot, and five years later, she’s still not over the remarkable experience. 

On July 30, the professional dancer shared a stunning series of throwback pics of behind-the-scenes moments caught on camera. She posed nude for photographer Dennis Leupold in a gorgeous mansion with a pool in Southern California.

“Throwback to baring it all with @womenshealthmag.. I’ve always felt a deep connection with my body as a dancer and then when I became a mother that relationship only grew… this shoot was truly one of the most empowering and freeing experiences of my life 🤍 @dennisleupold thank you for capturing this magic moment,” she captioned the Instagram carousel she shared with her 9.3 million followers.

“No wonder there’s a global heat wave! 😂 🔥🔥🔥,” Ever Carradine commented.

“Mother is MOTHERING ❤️❤️❤️,” the official US Weekly IG account chimed.

“Apparently, when you become a mother, you’re supposed to leave your sexuality at the door, and I never understood that,” the 42-year-old said at the time. “I think there’s nothing sexier than becoming a mother. You give life. It’s everything. And you don’t change who you are inside just because you have a kid.”

The Step Up actress and her ex-husband, Magic Mike star Channing Tatum, share a 10-year-old daughter named Everly. Dewan also has a 3-year-old son named Callum with her fiancé, Steve Kazee.
