Tatum married his "Step Up" co-star in 2009.

"She was like, 'What,'" recounted the "21 Jumpstreet" star of his wife's reaction to the coveted title. "She calls me 'The Sexiest Man Alive' now."

On Twitter, Tatum's legions of fans sounded off on People's recognition of the star.

"Channing Tatum: People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive," started Blonde Problem. "I second it & am sure get unanimous consent from anyone that's seen Magic Mike."

Kyera posted, "Channing Tatum named People's sexiest man alive, I can agree with that one."

Although Tatum topped People's list, actors Chris Hemsworth, Jon Hamm, and Ben Affleck also were named 2012's Sexiest Men, among others.

Tatum joins past victors of People's "Sexiest Man Alive" title including Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and last year's winner Bradley Cooper.

Being named 2012's Sexiest Man Alive is not the only honor Tatum has received this week. The actor if featured in GQ as the magazine's Movie Star of the Year as well.

"So proud of my love, he's GQ's man of the year, so deserved," Tatum's wife posted to Twitter on Tuesday.
