Channing Tatum And Zoë Kravitz's Relationship Timeline

Recent reports have claimed that Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz are engaged after around two years of dating.

Ever since the actors were snapped together in 2021, in those now-viral photos of them riding on a BMX bike through the streets of New York City, their relationship has steadily progressed, while at the same time it’s remained pretty discrete – or, at least, as much as it can be when you’re both huge movie stars.

Since then, the couple have been spotted out and about on various occasions and have spoken fondly of one another in numerous interviews.

But how did the two Hollywood stars cross paths? Here’s the timeline of their relationship so far…

In the same interview, Channing shared: “When Zoë called me about this, I was shocked. I didn’t know her. I’d watched her in movies, knew she produced High Fidelity and had seen that, but I didn’t know she was creating on a level like this, where she wanted to direct. This came out of nowhere and the subject matter made me say, wait, why are you thinking about me for this? No one gives me a chance to play a role like this, everybody throws me down a different alley and expects me to do a certain thing.”

He added that the experience had been both “scary and liberating, just to be able to have a free conversation, where I was allowed to mess up and say the wrong things”.

In another interview with his 21 Jump Street cast Jonah Hill around the same time, he credited Zoë and Jonah for helping him to refine his personal style.

“Some friends of mine, like you and Zo [Zoë Kravitz], were like, “Why don’t you just wear what you wear? Why don’t you just be you?” he shared. “You gave me some very specific style tips. I’m really enjoying finding my own voice and my own way with some very beautiful guardrails.”

At the same time, Zoë began opening up about Channing in the press. In an Elle cover interview, the actor once again praised Channing’s role in her film, sharing: “You need to be so far from who this is, where it’s not scary.
