Jenna Dewan-Tatum: Everly is Definitely Getting Channing’s Genes

Jenna Dewan-Tatum is losing the baby weight by simply carrying her 9-month-old daughter Everly around. 

“[I stay fit by] carrying my baby all day long and carting her around,” the actress told of her daughter with husband Channing Tatum at the opening of Caudalie’s West Coast flagship boutique and spa in Venice, CA on Tuesday. “She’s not little. She’s definitely getting my husband’s genes — I’m getting my arm workout by that.”

“She’s standing and … she’s scooching. Something called cruising. She’s awesome — she’s so happy and I love it,” Dewan-Tatum says. “My nights in with her are so much fun. I had to tear myself away to come out tonight.”

Dewan-Tatum’s little girl is also starting to learn how to play little games with her mommy. 

“She’s very much into these building blocks. So we build lots of things and she tears them down,” she shares. “And then I build them and she tears them down again. It’s a very fun game between the two of us.”

The actress advises other new moms not to worry so much. 

“Try your hardest not to worry so much and release the guilt,” she says. “Enjoy the moment and know you’re doing the best that you can.”

Dewan-Tatum and her husband married in 2009.
