Channing Tatum turns to celebrity dating app months after split with singer Jessie J: 'I used to be a stripper'
Even celebrities get lonely sometimes. After splitting from singer Jessie J in November, actor Channing Tatum is currently looking for love on a dating app called Raya.
Multiple sources told Us Weekly that the 'Magic Mike' actor, 39, who was currently single, had signed up for Raya—a private, membership-based social network application for iOS launched in 2015. Tatum's profile bio read: "And yes, I used to be a stripper. Sorry" ending with a shrug emoji. His profile song is 'Brown Sugar' by D’Angelo.
Earlier this month, there were reports that Tatum and the 'Bang Bang' singer had broken up “about a month ago” and remained “really close and still good friends".
Rumors of them dating were first made public in October 2018 although none of them confirmed the speculations. Jessie was later seen cheering him on at the opening of the Magic Mike show in London in November 2018 and also attended a number of his concerts thereafter.
In October, Channing's ex-wife, Jenna Dewan, 39, opened up about his relationship with Jessie J in her first book, 'Gracefully You: How to Live Your Best Life Every Day'.
“I was learning things about my ex most people wouldn’t have to face – and over the internet, as it was happening,” she wrote. “There I was, on a plane, alone, finding out about his new relationship. I felt blindsided. Choosing grace as I learned everything about my personal situation along with the rest of the world was really difficult.”
She also revealed what she went through during her split from the actor.
"I carried a rose quartz in my bra and yes, I took herbal supplements to help me heal, but also my mom flew in to be by my side and I called my friends late at night to sob into their ears,” she shared. “You need to embrace it all and allow everything positive and productive to be part of the process. It is very important to surround yourself with people who lift you up, make you feel love and appreciated.”
