1. Channing Tatum
As mentioned, Channing Tatum was especially sweet on Mother’s Day, and also shared a photo of himself holding a picture of Jenna and their daughter Everly, and wrote a lengthy and heartfelt post. “I took this just days after Jenna and I (mostly Jenna) brought our little girl into the world. I’ve taken many like it over the past 3 years but this is one of my favorites. She was so tired. Haha. But she has such a deep strength and other worldly grace. Watching her in those first days transform into a mother was life changing. She was every bit the beautiful, sexy, funny, flawed creature I fell in love with. But the prism turns and showed a whole new light that I had no idea existed, the light a mothers love. Thank you for that baby. Saw this quote today –‘The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. Theodore Hesburgh’ there are a lot of important things in being a father. Who knows what the most important ting is? All I know is that in my case this is pretty high on my list. Love you cake!”
