Sandra Bullock And Channing Tatum have much more in common than their movie, The Lost City !
Their daughters also went to the same preschool! Since little girls can be strong-willed at that age (ask any parent ), both parents were called into the principal’s office — gulp — after the girls continuously had beef.
They may be Hollywood movie stars, but Sandra and Channing are two of the most devoted parents around.
We’ll start with Sandra , who is the proud mom of her adopted children, Louis Bardo and Laila. In the past, she has revealed that adoption was the only way to go.
“I don’t know why that was the only route but I’m so glad the universe had me wait,” she said on an episode of Red Table Talk.
She continued : “Had me wait even though I was anxious and I was eager — and it went nope, you’re not going to do it the way you think you’re going to do it.”
Meanwhile, Channing has one daughter, Everly, with his ex-wife, Jenna Dewan.
The longtime pair called it quits 2018. This made Tatum very nervous to be a single dad. ” I was really nervous when I became a single dad , and having to raise a little girl,” he told People .
“Not being able to have the resource of a woman there to be able to lean into how to relate to her as she grows up,” he continued.
We’d say he’s managed quite well, as he’s become the ultimate girl dad! “If it’s wearing a tutu or painting your nails or wearing makeup — who cares? It just worked for me,” he said.
He even wrote a children’s book called, ‘The One and Only Sparkella’!
But despite their best efforts, neither Sandra nor Channing could stop their little girls from being sassy and getting into it with each at their preschool.
The movie pair shared the hilarious story while on ‘The Late Late Show With James Corden.’
“We have two very, very strong-willed little girls that, you know, at that young age were very much buttin’ heads,” Tatum explained. Laila is now 10, while Everly is 8.

They admitted that they often got calls from the preschool, with both hoping that neither of their daughters initiated the drama.
“Of all the people — of all the people! — to fight with their daughter!” Tatum quipped. They both got a call after one particular “altercation.”
This caused Sandra to wonder whether she would have to contact Tatum or his ex-wife Jenna Dewan to deal with their fighting kids again.
But when she got to the school, they had a unique idea. “The challenge was, ‘Who could be the nicest to the other one?'” Bullock said.
“So they were bringing each other Dixie cups of water.”
How sweet! It helps that they have grades between them now.
Sandra even shared that the kids are close friends now after spending time together while their parents filmed The Lost City .
“That’s the reason we did this film, so they could have one long, Covid-safe play date,” Bullock joked.
“We even brought motorbikes down there. All we cared about is that Everly and Laila were just having the time of their lives.”
