Channing Tatum keeps baby's gender a surprise

CHANNING TATUM and JENNA DEWAN-TATUM have decided not to find out the gender of their unborn baby as they want it to be a surprise.

The Magic Mike star and his actress wife are expecting their first child together and the tot is due later this year (13), but they don't want to know their baby's sex until it's born.

The actor also reveals Dewan-Tatum has responded well to pregnancy and insists he finds her baby bump "one of the sexiest things ever".

He tells Eonline, "We're going to be surprised, I think we're going to do that on this one. It's one of the only real surprises that you're ever gonna get that's legit (legitimate). She's the kind that if she knows she has a surprise somewhere she basically goes and tries to figure it out. She doesn't like the whole surprise thing, so we'll see.

"She never really ate sweets before but she loves sweets now. She loves chocolate and that whole thing, but nothing really out of the ordinary, nothing like pickles and icing, nothing weird.

"She looks normal everywhere else, but she's got a little basketball up front. I think (pregnancy) is one of the sexiest things ever, for sure."
