Channing Tatum
If doting on pregnant wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum is any indication of the father he'll be, we can't wait to see the Magic Mike star when his little one arrives. Really, is there anything sexier than a first-time dad cuddling up with his newborn?
Days before welcoming their first child, the stars hold hands as they enjoy a Memorial Day stroll with pit bull Lulu and Japanese Spitz Meeka (not pictured) in London.
PEOPLE's reigning Sexiest Man Alive became a first-time dad in 2013 when he and his wife of almost four years welcomed their first child, a baby girl. "Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Channing Tatum are thrilled to announce the birth of their daughter, Everly Tatum, who was born on May 31st in London," they posted on their respective websites. "Sending love and light to Chan, Jenna and Ms. Everly!"
Three months after promoting their first joint on-screen appearance in six years, the high school reunion film 10 Years, the actors, both 32, announced in December that they're expecting their first child. "I'm ready; I think she's ready," Tatum told PEOPLE.
He may be PEOPLE's 2012 Sexiest Man Alive, but the Magic Mike star stays humble at home. "Maybe it was the sexy skunk musk that made him think of it," the American Horror Story: Asylum actress told PEOPLE, revealing how Tatum shared the news while cleaning skunk spray off their dogs.
They make a good team! Executive producing the HBO documentary Earth Made of Glass, about post-genocide Rwanda, earned the couple a Peabody Award in New York on May 12.
While departing LAX on July 12, 2009, the just-married pair engage in a little airport PDA. But it's not always for the cameras: To keep their romance alive, Tatum hides love notes around the house for his wife.
As close as ever, a dapper-looking Tatum holds his lady in green tight at the 2012 Golden Globes on Jan. 15 in Beverly Hills.
Now a family of four, the couple take to the Hollywood Hills with their dogs Lulu and Meeka on May 22, 2010. "My dogs LIVE 4 their hikes," Dewan Tweeted of her pooches' favorite pastime.
Weeks after their wedding, the lovey-dovey duo stylishly posed at the Tokyo premiere of Tatum's new flick, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, on July 27, 2009. "It's pretty much the same as I've felt every day since I met her – and that's just about perfect," the rising star told PEOPLE.
During their honeymoon in Bali, the newlyweds made sure to get matching souvenirs – tattoos! "Our mini moon was really like 2 days..we got tattoos though! "side by side" in Balinese," Tweeted Dewan, along with a cute photo.
They do! Tatum and Dewan tied the knot July 11, 2009, in Malibu, Calif., in front of 220 guests. The groom sizzled in a tux, while the bride glowed in a peach-and-ivory Reem Acra couture ball gown. "I'm as happy as I possibly can be on the planet right now," the 21 Jump Street star told PEOPLE shortly after the wedding.
Two years later, the newly engaged pair attempted stand-up paddle boarding while vacationing in Hawaii. "I'm just so freaking happy," the actress gushed to PEOPLE. "It's great."
Channing Tatum first met Jenna Dewan on the set of their 2006 dance hit Step Up – and the couple proved they had chemistry on and off screen. A hint? Tatum told PEOPLE in 2006 that he would love to be with "someone who doesn't take herself too seriously and can be a goofball."
"I wouldn't mind being the male Jennifer Lawrence. I think she's incredibly cool."
