It seems Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock’s daughters have ended their beef
Ain’t no drama like some preschool drama, are we right? It’s all ‘who’s down with pretending to be a cheetah for months on end,’ ‘who’s playing house with whom’ and ‘why does that kid keep following me?’ And if you’ve ever met one, you know that preschoolers do not keep their cool. About anything. So when Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum were called in to the principal’s office when their daughters were in preschool together, it wasn’t to try to edge an autograph out of the celebrity parents.
“We were called in together because Everly and Laila were trying to alpha the other one out, and we prayed it was the other’s child that caused damage,” Bullock revealed in a joint interview with Tatum for The New York Times. Sandra, we’ve been there. We see you. And we, too, have hoped that damage was inflicted by another’s child, if it must be inflicted at all.
Well, there’s been an update to the drama.”Our daughters got into a couple scraps at school because they’re both very, very, very strong-willed little girls,” Tatum confessed in a recent lie-detector interview with Vanity Fair. “It was a very fun year that year.”
VF asked if the girls “still have beef,” and Tatum says the two are now thick as thieves! “They love each other now, literally can’t get enough of each other,” he said. “They just want to hang out all the time.”
“Telling the truth,” the polygraph administrator ruled.
“I’ve blocked it all out,” Tatum, 41, joked. Not so easy for Bullock. “There’s some PTSD attached to it,” she added of the preschool “drama.” But now that everyone’s playing nicely in the sand box, Bullock’s daughter Laila, 10, and Tatum’s daughter Everly, 8, had possibly the most luxe playdate ever together in the Dominican Republic, where The Lost City—the 2022 film staring both their parents about a reclusive romance novelist on a book tour, her cover model, and a kidnapping attempt… in the jungle—was shot.

Bullock joked “That’s the reason we did this film, so they could have one long, Covid-safe play date… All we cared about is that Everly and Laila were just having the time of their lives.” Considering the site shots of The Lost City, we can affirmatively say they had pretty good odds stacked in their favor of having some fun.
Earlier this month, Bullock, who is also mom to Louis, 12, announced she’s taking a break from acting to focus on her kids. “I take my job very seriously when I’m at work,” the Oscar winner told ET. “And I just want to be 24/7 with my babies and my family.”
His children have also impacted and shaped Tatum’s career. The actor and producer is now an author of children’s book Sparkella, “a charming ode to self-esteem and the love between a father and daughter.”
