From costars to an engaged couple!
Actors Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum, who have been romantically linked since 2021, got engaged in October 2023.
The two both voiced roles in The Lego Batman Movie in 2017. During that time, they were in separate relationships. Tatum wed his Step Up costar, Jenna Dewan, in 2009, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Everly, in 2013 before finalizing their divorce in 2019. Kravitz, daughter of musician Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet, married actor Karl Glusman in 2019, but the couple split 18 months later.
Romance rumors swirled when Kravitz — who plays Catwoman opposite Robert Pattinson in The Batman — cast the Magic Mike actor in her upcoming film, Pussy Island, in early summer 2021.
The pair were soon spotted on strolls in New York City, leaving the Met Gala together and sporting a couple’s costume for Halloween.
In 2022, the couple began speaking about each other in interviews, and Tatum attended the New York City premiere of The Batman alongside Kravitz’s stepfather Jason Momoa.
