Channing Tatum ‘keeps telling friends he wants to be single’ despite isolating at Jessie J’s house
Channing Tatum and Jessie J are giving fans hope they have reconciled, with the actor now hunkered down at the singer’s house.
But The Sun can reveal the on/off couple, who broke up for the second time a month ago, are not serious – as Channing keeps pumping the breaks and telling pals he wants to be single.
A source close to the ripped star said: “Channing has been hanging out with Jessie again, and she gave him a birthday present after he celebrated his 40th – but it’s not serious.
“He keeps saying he wants to be single and work on himself before committing to someone again, but he really just wants to go out and have fun.
“Channing can’t seem to make up his mind about Jessie, and he’s also getting plenty of attention elsewhere with women lining up to date him.”
A barefoot Channing made a statement on Sunday showing he really is wearing the pants in the relationship, as he was pictured taking out the trash out at Jessie’s L.A. crib in a pair of shiny gold lamé cutoffs.
But the gym-honed star proved he’s still pulling his weight in their ‘situationship” as he carried two large white trash bags outside.
It comes after Jessie was also spotted last Wednesday on the back of the actor’s motorcycle taking a scenic ride along Mulholland Drive.
A source close to the 32-year-old singer revealed: “Jessie has told friends they are not back together, but it changes all the time, they can’t seem to quit each other.
“Jessie is ready to meet a guy she can really build a foundation with, she wants stability … but at the moment, that is definitely not Channing.”
The Sun previously revealed the Magic Mike hunk has an active profile on celebrity dating app Raya, giving him easy access to plenty of bachelorettes stuck at home during the pandemic.
His bio on the members-only site features the cheeky message: “And yes, I used to be a stripper,” along with a casual shrug emoji, while his theme song is Brown Sugar by D’Angelo.
The star split from his wife of almost nine years, Jenna Dewan, in April 2018 and they share custody of their 6-year-old daughter, Everly.
Channing and Jessie went public in October of the same year – the month Jenna filed for divorce.
But the Bang Bang songstress showed she still has a lot of respect for her ex by uploading a sweet message in celebration of his birthday on April 26.
Alongside a series of hot photographs of the former stripper, she gushed on Instagram: “Happy 40th Birthday to this special man right here.
“You are truly one of a kind. I am so grateful you were born, and even more grateful we met.”
Channing failed to wish Jessie a happy birthday publicly back in March, after which she got emotional with fans in an Instagram Story post.
She said: “I just wrote the longest list of things I want in life. In love, in career, in friendships, in a manager.
“Sitting here crying happy tears. It’s all possible. I just have to believe it and go get it.”
Her list of attainable goals included: “I want to cook with my boyfriend,” “I want to have a baby” and “I want friendships I don’t manage.”
