For a guy who often puts it all out there in his movies, Channing Tatum has kept aspects of his family life very private.
In fact, according to People, we’ve never seen a photo of Tatum's 8-year old daughter Everly's adorable face until now.

Yesterday, the “Magic Mike” actor, 41, shared a lovely Instagram photo of him, his abs, and his daughter standing on a beach at the golden hour of sunset, waves cascading behind them, as Everly gazes up inquisitively.
Further cementing himself as the perfect man to his fans, he captioned the loving photo with, “You my littles are everything! You are my world and my heart. 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."
And in his self-effacing style, just as things were getting too mushy, Tatum added, "Haha one day you will read this and I hope laugh. We have fun hehehe."
Tatum and ex-wife Jenna Dewan, 40, have posted some quick snaps of their daughter before, though never this straight-on and open, even with the little film clip the "Step Up" actress posted in late May.
The couple parted ways in 2019, but Tatum certainly hasn’t let single dad status slow him down.
He’s recently released his first children’s book, obviously inspired by Everly, called "The One and Only Sparkella"; has been developing a “Magic Mike”-inspired reality competition series; and has his first directorial effort, “Dog,” is coming soon. And he definitely makes time to hang out on beaches, apparently.

Though that doesn’t mean it’s all been a breeze.
“I was really nervous when I became a single dad,” he confessed to People in May, “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."
The children’s book was his way to relate those understandable worries to other single dads, as he told People.
"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.”
