Channing Tatum's Daughter Everly Is Growing Up To Be His Twin

Everly Tatum is becoming the spitting image of her dad, Channing Tatum. It seems like only yesterday that Channing and his then-wife, Jenna Dewan — who split in April 2018 — were announcing Everly's arrival. Taking to Channing's website, the then-spouses shared the news of their little blessing's arrival with their fans. "Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Channing Tatum are thrilled to announce the birth of their daughter, Everly Tatum, who was born on May 31 in London," read the 2013 announcement (via Today). "Sending love and light to Chan, Jenna and Ms. Everly!"

With time, Channing and Dewan have transitioned into the role of co-parents. And though they've navigated through several public conflicts since their marriage ended, they seem to agree that protecting their daughter's privacy is their main priority. In fact, it was several years before Dewan started posting photos of her and Channing's daughter online more frequently, a decision inspired by Everly. "Yeah, she felt comfortable with it," Dewan shared with Yahoo! Life in December 2021. "And I think there comes a certain age where you start realizing she's old enough to [wonder], Why is my face covered? But she's aware and she knows that we were being protective and wanted it to be coming from her."

Of course, Dewan's laxer social media stance means that people have begun to compare Everly to her famous parents — especially her father, Channing.

Channing and his daughter, Everly, are totes twinning!

On September 28, 2024, Channing Tatum played the role of proud single father by taking to Instagram to celebrate his daughter Everly Tatum's triumphs in Irish dancing. "There is absolutely no words for how proud i am of this lil girl!!! Im freaking out maaaaannn!!!!" he captioned a photo of them posing with her trophy. However, Channing's endearing excitement is far from the only noteworthy detail of this post; the father-daughter pair looked super similar as they stood side by side. 

Fans also noted the resemblance between the two in a carousel of photos and videos that Jenna Dewan shared in March 2024. "Man she looks like her dad!! Adorable," commented one fan underneath Dewan's Instagram post. "She looks just like her daddy," wrote another. Yeah, we'd have to agree!

With that said, Everly can thank both of her parents for being light on her feet. After all, Channing spent several years heading up the "Step Up" and "Magic Mike" franchises, which are both dance-centric entities. Meanwhile, her mother, who also starred in "Step Up" and "Take The Lead," has an extensive history in acting and dance. One of Dewan's most iconic dance feats, of course, was serving as Janet Jackson's background dancer. "I dreamed of dancing for her. She was my end all be all," Dewan shared during an appearance on "Live! With Kelly and Ryan" in 2021. "The universe blessed me, I was able to dance with her, and we're still really good friends." Basically, Everly has some pretty iconic parents! They've also indulged her love of live performances by taking her to Coachella and concerts for Kelsea Ballerini and Taylor Swift (yup, Everly is one of those celeb kids who is a serious Swiftie).

How anime brought the father and daughter closer together

During a September 7, 2025, interview with E! News at the Toronto International Film Festival, Channing Tatum lamented that he just couldn't seem to get Everly Tatum interested in his work. Of how she feels about his films, he said, "She's like, 'Whatever, I don't wanna see those.' ... I'm never gonna be cool to her." But things turned around for Channing when he joined the English voice cast of the anime "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle."

Days after that E! News interview, Everly made a rare red carpet appearance with her dad at the movie's Los Angeles premiere. She even joined him for an interview with ET, during which she revealed that she's a huge anime fan. She said that one of her favorite series to watch with her father is "Black Clover," and Channing gushed over how great his little girl is at drawing anime characters. "She loves the art. ... She's an amazing artist," he said. Channing also told People that his "Demon Slayer" role finally earned him some "cool dad points" with Everly. Mission accomplished. 

At the anime's premiere, the resemblance between the actor and his tween daughter was still pretty uncanny (just look at their eyes and smiles!), but Everly was sporting some eyeshadow that matched her ruffled powder blue dress. While you might assume that she started taking makeup and fashion notes from her mom, in a January 2025 People interview, Jenna Dewan said her daughter's style aesthetic comes from elsewhere. "Now she's really into ... what does she call it? Softie schoolgirl? It's a 'thing,'" she explained. "She likes that sort of preppy, but with a dash of Blackpink, if that makes sense."
