Strangest Facts About Channing Tatum And Zoë Kravitz’s Relationship

When reports surfaced in 2021 that Zoë Kravitz, daughter of Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz, was dating Channing Tatum, it created quite a buzz. Both had recently exited long-term relationships—Kravitz divorced Karl Glusman, and Tatum separated from singer Jessie J. This unexpected couple surprised many, yet their relationship works, although with a few quirky aspects.

As one of Hollywood’s most prominent couples, Kravitz and Tatum tend to keep their relationship private. They seldom discuss one another in interviews but offer intriguing glimpses when they do. Tatum starring in Kravitz’s movie “Blink Twice” shone a bigger spotlight on their unique dynamic. Add in some eyebrow-raising social media interactions and a questionable Halloween costume, and this duo is certainly not typical.

Internet sleuths discovered that Tatum was following several Kravitz fan accounts on Instagram before they officially met, adding another layer of interest. When asked about it in a Vanity Fair interview, Tatum admitted, “I have no chill. I was just seeing what she was up to! Also, I didn’t know anyone would know.”

Tatum went on to explain that he feels secure in his professional life but has fears regarding relationships, often trying too hard with people he loves. His honesty made the revelation all the more relatable to fans.

Kravitz and Tatum met while working on Kravitz’s directorial debut, “Blink Twice.” Interestingly, Kravitz always wanted Tatum for the role, having written the character with him in mind. “I just knew from ‘Magic Mike’ and his live shows, I got the sense he’s a true feminist and I wanted to collaborate with someone who was clearly interested in exploring this subject matter,” Kravitz told Deadline.

Despite never having met him, Kravitz felt confident he was the right fit. It seems both were manifesting their relationship before it began. Tatum appreciated working with his partner, saying, “Working with your partner … it was the thing that cemented us, in a way.”

Lenny Kravitz, an iconic rockstar and well-known heartthrob, has a fan in Channing Tatum. When Lenny posted a shirtless photo on Instagram, several celebrities commented, but Tatum’s comment stood out. “Jesus Christmas Lenny. WTF you’re gonna hurt someone on this platform, haha,” Tatum wrote, which garnered over 10,000 likes.

This interaction showcased the friendly and open relationship Tatum and Lenny share. Tatum even commented on another Lenny post, this time a video of his performance, with a simple yet affectionate, “Let’s go pops!”

By November 2021, Kravitz and Tatum’s relationship was well-established. For Halloween, Tatum dressed up as Robert De Niro’s character Travis from “Taxi Driver,” while Kravitz went as Iris, a young sex worker from the film. Although the costumes were cool and recognizable, the choice was somewhat controversial due to Iris’s background in the movie.

This decision might have seemed odd to some, given Iris’s character, but it highlighted how this couple is unafraid to push boundaries.

Although Tatum is a dedicated father to his daughter Everly, his new relationship presents a challenge. Kravitz has been open about her uncertainties regarding motherhood. Speaking to Esquire in 2024, she mentioned, “For a long time, I felt like there was something wrong with me. I was waiting for this light to go off in my head, and it never did.”

She discussed the societal pressure on women to have children and confessed that she felt too young at one point. Now of the right age, she still remains unsure. Kravitz feels fulfilled through other avenues, like directing her movie, comparing it to giving birth. It is yet to be seen how her feelings will impact her relationship with Everly, but it remains an interesting dynamic.

In 2023, after two years of dating, Tatum and Kravitz decided to get engaged, leading to much excitement. Musician Lenny Kravitz even revealed details about their wedding plans during an appearance on British radio, saying, “We’re going to have a wedding next year.”

However, his daughter Zoë was quick to clarify, explaining that any mention of a wedding date was purely speculative. “It’s literally something we’ve said in passing,” she told Esquire.

The couple has kept a tight lid on their wedding plans, leading some fans to question what’s true and what’s not. For now, only time will tell if and when the wedding will happen.
