Channing Tatum is revealing all his secrets on love and marriage in the new issue of Elle magazine. The "White House Down" star reveals that he once had a huge crush on "Who's The Boss?" star Alyssa Milano.
"She was it, man," he said. "I'd love to run into her. I'm pretty sure I'd geek out. Isn't she married?"
Milano is married to Hollywood Agent David Bugilari and has a young son named Milo. The actor also briefly talked about the first time he got dumped and was humiliated in public. Tatum said he was dating a girl named Danica, was also his first kiss, who decided to dump him by having her friend yell out the school bus window "Oh yeah, Danica doesn't want to go out with you anymore."
Even though Danica broke a young Tatum's heart, he never gave up on love saying that he has always considered himself to be a relationship kind of guy. The one time, he couldn't really be in a committed relationship was back when he was a stripper (so that's where he got his Magic Mike moves). He said during that time it was almost impossible to have a girlfriend.
"Being in a relationship was always the endgame, but I've had my crazy times," he told the magazine. "When I was stripping, I wasn't with anyone. That's not an occupation you have when you're monogamous."
Switching gears and leaving his stripper days a thing of the past, he then told the magazine about his wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, who recently gave birth to their daughter Everly. The "Magic Mike" star said the one thing he credits to their relationship staying fresh is being brutally honest with each other about everything and always communicating.
"Jenna and I have a trick we use to check in with each other," he said. "We say, 'On a scale on one to 10, how much do you love me right now?' It's not as romantic as you think. Sometimes, it's like, 'I love you at a six right now. I have an issue, and you asked. So now I'm going to tell you.'"
