After three years together, Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum are stronger than ever.
In a love story that begins with Tatum as a muse, Kravitz and the Magic Mike star first connected back in 2017, when the Batman actor personally scouted him to star as Slater King in her directorial debut and thriller, Blink Twice (formerly known as Pussy Island). After working together on the film, the two got close and friendly on various New York City dates, and ultimately fell into a romantic relationship by 2021.
Now engaged, the pair continue to be spotted on PDA-filled outings around the world and frequently gush about one another in interviews, on both a personal and a professional level.
Ahead, all the highlights from Tatum and Kravitz’s sweet relationship.
August 14, 2024: Zoë opens up about not wanting to have children.
Ahead of the release of her directorial debut, Blink Twice, Kravitz covers the September issue of Esquire, where she opens up about not wanting to have children. “For a long time, I felt like there was something wrong with me,” she tells the magazine. “I was waiting for this light to go off in my head, and it never did. When you’re younger, you’re like, ‘Well, I can’t have kids. I’m too young! It’d be crazy.’ I had to actually look at What do I want?”
While she doesn’t mention Tatum in this instance, she reveals that these thoughts first surfaced during her marriage to fellow actor Karl Glusman. “I realized I had been ignoring it and not even thinking about the future.”
Kravitz then goes on to say that she just wants the same acknowledgement from others for her big life achievements, even if she doesn’t have children. “There’s a lot of pressure on women to have children, and there’s a feeling that if you don’t, you don’t have purpose here,” she adds. “But this movie, it feels like I gave birth.”
August 8, 2024: They make their red-carpet debut.

During the premiere, Kravitz praises Tatum for his support during the making of the movie.
“You supported me in every way,” she says, per People. “From producing to performing to the pep talks to holding my head or my feet while I cried on the bathroom floor because I thought I f—– it all up.”
She adds, “It’s really very cool to get to make a movie, but when you get to do it with the love of your life, it’s even cooler.”
July 9, 2024: Channing says working with Zoë strengthened their relationship.
In an interview with Extra at the New York City premiere of Flying to the Moon, Tatum says that working with Kravitz on their upcoming film Blink Twice—which she directed—helped strengthen their love.
“Working with your partner truly is—you know, I know a lot of people are afraid of it—it was the thing that cemented us in a way,” he says. “We started, you know, kind of grew a little bit right before we started filming, and then it’s like, ‘Okay, we’re gonna go do this.’ ”
“It just brought us together,” he adds, before giving some relationship advice that helped him and Kravitz. “If you have a partner and you’re thinking about, ‘Is this the one for me?’ go and find the hardest possible project that you can find together,” Channing says. “Build a room, paint a room, make some sort of creative project, and not just if you got through it, but if you like enjoyed doing it with each other. Because it’s going to be hard, it’s gonna be hard at times. Unless you can look at each other and be like, ‘Oh man, this is really hard right now,’ and really that brings you together and not apart, that’s the way.”
March 20, 2024: Lenny talks about his relationship with Channing.
During an interview with Sherri Shepherd, Lenny opens up about his relationship with his future son-in-law.
“He’s a great guy. We get on really well,” he says. “We have our own relationship as well. We hang out. We talk. He’s a very soulful human being. He was raised well. He has manners and class.”
Of his first meeting with the 21 Jump Street star, Kravitz says it was “very natural. Like I said, he’s very sweet. It works. Life is about timing and what you’ve gone through, what you’ve learned, and they’re in the right place.”

During an interview with GQ, Kravitz speaks candidly about her romance with Tatum.
“He’s just a wonderful human. He makes me laugh and we both really love art and talking about art and the exploration of why we do what we do. We love to watch a film and break it down and talk about it and challenge each other,” she says.
Working with her on the set of Pussy Island, she says, Tatum proved to be a supportive force. “Whether it was making me tea or pouring me a drink or going to whip someone into shape or whatever—he really was my protector and it was really wonderful and sweet,” Kravitz says. “I think if you can do something like that together, it’s a good test. And we came out even stronger.”
She also reflects on the moment their relationship became public, when a paparazzi snapped the now-viral photo of Kravitz riding on Tatum’s bike. The actor had accompanied Kravitz on a walk to her writing partner’s house. “I was sweating and he was like, ‘Get on the bike, I’ll ride you over and you can relax,’” she recalled. She notes that, almost immediately after that, she saw a pap from the corner of her eye.
“You want to keep it sacred and private as long as you can,” Kravitz says. “So that you don’t have to even think about what the world thinks about it.”

August 16, 2022: Zoë talks about working with Channing.
The actor and director discloses more details about working with Tatum on Pussy Island in an interview with WSJ. Magazine, during which she praises his performance in the film and happily recalls her creative experience with him on set.
“When you make things with people, it’s a very sacred space, and when you’re compatible with somebody creatively, it often opens up other channels, because you’re kind of sharing all of yourself,” Kravitz says. She adds: “I’m really grateful that this movie has brought him into my life that way.”
“I felt, even from afar, before I knew him, that he was a feminist and that he wasn’t afraid of exploring that darkness, because he knows he’s not that,” Kravitz continues. “That’s why I was drawn to him and wanted to meet with him. And I was right.”
She also likes that Tatum had yet to play a dark character before this role. “I think that’s exciting to watch someone who’s mostly played boy next door, good guy, love interest, all of that,” she says.

Kravitz praises Tatum for his role as Slater King in Pussy Island in a cover story for Elle. Discussing what drove her decision to cast him in the darker role, she explains that Tatum is so different from the toxic qualities associated with his character, so portraying them onscreen never felt problematic or overly real.
“Looking at his work and hearing him speak about Magic Mike and the live show, I’m like, I think he’s a feminist,” Kravitz says. “You need to be so far from who this is, where it’s not scary. And I don’t think we’ve ever seen him play someone dark. I’m excited to see him do that.”
