After two years of dating, the "Step Up" duo announced their engagement and tied the knot in July 2009. Channing and Jenna-Dewan Tatum welcomed their first child, Everly, four years after their marriage. The professional dancer and actress reportedly gave birth to their daughter in London.
When asked if they are planning for another baby, he confessed that their four-year-old daughter is still not ready to have a younger sibling. "I don't think she wants—she's just like, "No." That means she would have to split mommy time," the actor said.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum, on the other hand, shared how she and her husband celebrated their eighth Wedding Anniversary on July 11.
During her "Live with Kelly and Ryan" interview, the 36-year-old actress said they went out in the wilderness to celebrate the special day with their daughter.

The "Supergirl" star went on to talk about how romance started between her and Channing Tatum on the "Step Up" set. Jenna Dewan-Tatum admitted that she was "naive" when they first met for the pre-production of the movie.
