Jenna Dewan-Tatum took her baby bump to the beach!

The bikini-clad actress showed off her new pregnancy curves while vacationing with her shirtless husband, Channing Tatum**, in St. Barts Dec. 28. If the Magic Mike actor has his way, their firstborn child will be his mini-me!

In the Dec. 31 issue of Us Weekly, a Tatum pal reveals that the sporty star, 32, "will be happy no matter what the baby is, but he'd love to have a little boy to throw the ball around with." (His wife, 32, announced her pregnancy Dec. 17.)

The Ten Years costars -- who met on the set of Step Up in 2005 and tied the knot in 2009 -- "will be the best parents," another insider promises. "They will be a real team."

A friend of the couple agrees, telling Us, "Channing is so excited for the baby. He's been wanting this a long time. They are over the moon about becoming parents."

After a whirlwind year, Tatum plans to lighten up his busy schedule in order to dote on his wife, who most recently guest starred on FX's American Horror Story: Asylum. Brags Dewan-Tatum, "Channing's going to be the best dad!"
