Channing Tatum’s Best Quotes About Parenting, Raising Daughter Everly With Ex Jenna Dewan

Seriously stepping up! Channing Tatum has been candid about the challenges of raising daughter Everly both before and after his split from Jenna Dewan.

A source exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly in June 2013 that the pair’s little girl had arrived one month prior, sharing that Tatum would be “the most adorable hands-on daddy ever.”

Dewan and Tatum later called it quits after nearly a decade of marriage in 2018, and their divorce was finalized in September 2024.

Raising his little girl solo was an adjustment, but Tatum jumped in headfirst.

“When I became a single father, I had a lot of fear about connecting to Everly in every way that a little girl might want,” he told Parents magazine in April 2021. “I didn’t wear nail polish or know how to braid hair. But now I do both.”
