Channing Tatum And Wife Expecting First Child

Actor Channing Tatum and his wife of three years, Jenna Dewan-Tatum have announced that they are expecting their first child.  People magazine named Tatum “Sexiest Man Alive” in November 2012 and Jenna Dewan-Tatum is definitely worthy of the “Sexiest Woman Alive” title. I think it is safe to say this couple will have a beautiful baby, no matter who’s genes are more dominant.

If you think Jenna Dewan-Tatum looks familiar, then you are correct. Channing and Jenna met in 2006 on the set of Step Up. Three years later, they wed in 2009. Now three years into their marriage, they are expecting their first little one. Since good things seem to be happening in three’s for this couple, maybe we can assume they’ll have three kids every three years? Yeah, I doubt it, too.

The soon-to-be parents recently co-starred in the rom-com 10 Years. Next on the acting list for Tatum are at least four more films this coming year, while Jenna Dewan-Tatum guest-stars on American Horror Story: Asylum while wrapping up her new Lifetime movie, She Made Them Do It, premiering December 29. These parents to be are pretty busy. Hopefully once the new baby arrives, the famous couple can take a break from acting to spend time with the new addition to their family. Only time will tell.

So, eager fans, are you hoping for a boy or girl? Start suggesting your baby names below!

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
