It was the kind of father-daughter moment that stopped time — and stole the show. Hollywood heartthrob Channing Tatum, 45, turned the glitzy premiere of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle" into an emotional family affair on September 9, 2025, when he stepped onto the red carpet with none other than his stunning 12-year-old daughter, Everly Tatum.

The TCL Chinese 6 Theatre in Hollywood may have been brimming with stars, but it was the tender, real-life bond between Channing and his little girl that had fans swooning, especially when it came to the resemblance she shares with both her dad and mom, A-lister Jenna Dewan.

Everly, a picture of poise and polish, glided down the carpet in a powder-blue, ruffled gown, with soft waves cascading down her shoulders and a smile that could melt stone.

Standing by her side, Channing looked every bit the protective father in a navy, tailored suit layered over a light beige T-shirt, one arm gently wrapped around his daughter — a visual that said it all.

From Fearful Father to Full-Time Girl Dad

Channing's evolution as a father has been nothing short of transformational. In a vulnerable 2021 interview, he recalled the fear and uncertainty he faced raising Everly as a single dad following his split from Everly's mom, Jenna.

"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. I didn't wear nail polish or know how to braid hair," he divulged.

However, he added, "But now, I do both. I jumped with both feet into this magical world, and I was rewarded with a kind of love that I don't think I would have ever been able to have otherwise."
