Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum are calling it quits after almost nine years of marriage. "We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple. We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together. Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now," they said in a joint statement to People.com on April 2. Wonderwall.com is mourning the breakup by taking a look back at the former power couple's cutest moments, starting with how it all began: The duo first connected on the set of the 2006 dance film "Step Up." Jenna starred as spoiled ballerina Nora Clark, who falls for Channing's troubled hip-hop dancer Tyler Gage. In a true case of life imitating art, the comely co-stars fell for each other on set, started dating and got engaged just two years after "Step Up" debuted. (Whoever cast "Step Up" clearly has an eye for chemistry!) Now keep reading to relive more of the former couple's cutest moments…
