So, news the youngest member of the family and his grandmother have cleared quarantine at the Disney restart ought to put some pep in the Duke product’s step.

“It’s still tough for him to understand what’s going on, but he knows somehow, some way he’ll see me tomorrow,” Tatum shared Monday. “He’s excited about that.”

As to whether Tatum believes in the familial boost having his blood in the stands cheering him on, the former Blue Devil is a believer.
“It’ll make all the difference; it’s been a long time since I’ve seen him or my mom,” Tatum explained. “Just to have some familiar faces in the crowd and share the experience will be very helpful.”
