Channing Tatum is sharing the face of “my world and my heart” for the first time ever.
On Thursday (June 24), Channing posted a sweet moment he shared with his eight-year-old daughter Everly, whom he shares with ex-wife Jenna Dewan on Instagram – he had his arm wrapped around his little girl as father and daughter stood on the beach.
“You my littles are everything! You are my world and my heart,” the proud father began in the caption.
Sharing an anecdote about the photo, he added, “You were looking at the full moon in this pic and telling me the prophecy of the full moon mermaid and then we ran into the water and looked for her and played with glow sticks in the night water calling out to the mermaids. you said you touched a bald headed mermaid and saw a tail. Haha one day you will read this and i hope laugh. We have fun 🤩 hehehe.”
Channing’s real-life bond with his daughter is the inspiration behind his children’s book, The One And Only Sparkella.
“A lot [in the book] is stuff that Evie and I do. Like I do call her ‘Glitter Poop,’ ” he previously told People. “I was really nervous when I became a single dad, and having to raise a little girl, not being able to have the resource of a woman there to be able to lean into how to relate to her as she grows up. I literally went to YouTube and learned how to braid hair.”
He also discovered other ways of connecting with his daughter.
“If it’s wearing a tutu or painting your nails or wearing makeup — who cares? It just worked for me,” he shared. “I see dads sometimes, and . . . being a parent is hard. I wanted the book to be a little bit of a letter to them. Just play — you’ll be rewarded with love.”
The 41-year-old actor prefers to keep his personal life private – and applies the same when it comes to his eight-year-old daughter, Everly, whom he shares with ex-wife Jenna Dewan. Up until recently, the father-of-one hasn’t publicly shared photos of his daughter’s face on social media – they have either been obscured or taken from obscure angles. But this sweet moment is one they can both look back on with fond memories.
