Channing Tatum

Born in April 1980, Channing Tatum is best known for his role as Tyler Gage in 2006’s Step Up, where he met his costar and now-ex-wife, Jenna Dewan.

Tatum got his start as a backup dancer in Ricky Martin’s music video for “She Bangs” after a casting agent spotted him performing under the pseudonym “Chan Crawford” in a Chippendales-style revue called Male Encounter in 1999. He then began modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch, Nautica, Armani and Dolce & Gabbana.

He first hit the big screen with 2005’s Coach Carter. His first leading role came from 2006’s She’s The Man, where he starred alongside Amanda Bynes. But it wasn’t until Step Up that Tatum danced his way to stardom. He went on to star in Magic Mike, 21 Jump Street and Deadpool & Wolverine. He made his directorial debut with the 2022 movie Dog.

Tatum and Dewan tied the knot in July 2009 in Malibu. The couple spent their honeymoon in Bali, where they got matching tattoos that say “side by side.” Three years later, in June 2013, the pair welcomed daughter Everly.

The couple announced their separation in a joint statement in April 2018. The divorce was finalized in September 2024.

Following his divorce, the Dog director moved on with singer Jessie J. The pair dated between October 2018 and December 2019. Tatum later connected with Zoë Kravitz on the set of her directorial debut, Blink Twice. The pair began dating in 2021 and got engaged in October 2023. One year later, they broke up, ending their engagement.
