Cue up "Everlasting Love" and launch into a romance movie montage, because we have to talk about Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum right now.

Channing's latest Instagram pics are two beautiful photos of his wife.

The captions?

"It's not hard to take a beautiful picture of this magical creature. But I thought this one was special," wrote Tatum.

Followed by... "If it wasn't for her I would have never even found the path much less stayed on it and not flown off in flaming truck of dynamite singing devil went down to Georgia. Hahahaha. To my light. I love you."

It's difficult to deal with the level of adorable coming from these two. Seriously.

Much like Step Up characters in the 2006 film that initially brought them together, with two disparate back stories, Channing and Jenna have that romantic comedy trope of coming from different sides of the tracks, or whatever.

Channing was a high school athlete who dropped out of college and began working odd jobs, including stripping at a nightclub.

Jenna was a high school cheerleader and prom queen who moved onto college, joining a sorority, and focusing on her dance career.

Their meet cute moment was when the two were cast as the leads in a romantic dance movie together.

Would they be destined to end up together, just like their characters do?

Of course.

Just as their Step Up characters had to learn to work together to achieve a goal, the duo learned the ropes of the movie industry together.

They hit red carpets and promo tours for their projects and learned how to be a celeb couple in the public eye.

From there, the lovebirds' stars began to rise in Hollywood, with Channing pulling in major bank on big budget movies, like the G.I. Joe, Magic Mike, and 21 Jump Street franchises.

The couple tied the knot in 2009 and had their little girl Everly in 2013.

Just because they made it to their happily ever after doesn't mean the rom com story is all over.

The married duo has given us so many #RelationshipGoals-worthy moments since.

You know, like when Channing admitted that his wife (a true saint and hero) told him regarding Magic Mike XXL: "You cannot have a movie without these guys getting in thongs."

Jenna, again, thank you.

The dancing duo recently went head-to-head on Lip Sync Battle, with Channing calling in Beyoncé for an epic performance, while Jenna channeled her hubby's Magic Mike-like moves for a hot "Pony" performance.

Because even though they've already won by becoming a couple, a little friendly competition always keeps things exciting.

Plus, the two aren't strangers to some freaky dance moves.

"We lap-dance every night," Jenna dished on the show.

It's like how people dance around kitchen tables or fitting rooms in romantic comedies. Except Channing and his wife are pretty much the sexiest couple ever, so naturally, they lap-dance instead.

They try on goofy costumes and respond to fellow celebs' threesome requests.

They'll watch each others' onscreen love scenes, to be supportive.

But perhaps most importantly, they still dance.

Every good rom com ends with the couple getting back to the basics of what made them fall in love in the first place.

And for Channing and Jenna, that place is the dance floor.
