Zoe Kravitz 'cares for Channing Tatum very much'

Channing Tatum has confirmed his romance with an Australian model as they attended a pre-Oscars bash.

The Magic Mike actor, 44, went public with runway star Inka Williams, who at 25 is 19 years his junior, when they stepped out at the event in LA on Friday night.

It comes four months after his split from ex-fiancee Zoë Kravitz.

The actor walked arm in arm while leaving the gathering, which was hosted by Creative Artists Agency (CAA) at The Living Room bar.

Tatum donned an oversized brown jacket and an all-black ensemble, leading his new partner to their car and then back to his Hollywood pad.

Williams wore a strapless black dress adorned with tassels, paired with black stockings and stiletto heels.

She completed her chic look with a slicked-back bun, large hoop earrings, and natural makeup.

Who is Inka Williams?

Tatum and Williams have been spotted together on two previous occasions, with online gossip site DeuxMoi claiming Tatum was seen with an “unidentified woman” who was “25 years old and half his height” at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel in January.

“Spotted Channing Tatum in a light blue hoodie today walking through the cafe of the Santa Monica Pier with a new girl (?) – they were holding hands, and she has long brown hair but not sure who she is …” read a tip-off sent to the page.

Last week, the couple was seen holding hands in LA at the Mustafa Poet concert at the Palace Theatre.

Internet sleuths quickly identified her as Williams, who was born in Melbourne and raised in Bali.

She boasts a successful modelling career and over 2.4 million followers on Instagram, where she regularly promotes her fashion brand, She Is I.

Zoë Kravitz speaks out

The appearance comes four months after Tatum and Kravitz, 36, called off their engagement – and shortly after the actor praised her ex in the US edition of Elle.

“I care for him very much,” she said.

“He has so much more coming, and I think he’s in a place as an actor where he’s feeling really confident and people are seeing different sides of him.”

Speaking about Tatum’s flick, Blink Twice, which she directed, she expressed, “I’m so happy that all of it happened. I just feel so grateful that we got to go on that journey together”.

The couple, who got engaged in October 2023, ended their romance after three years of dating.

It seems Kravitz has also moved on.

On Valentine’s Day, she was photographed leaving a party with The Recruit star Noah Centineo, 28.

Kravitz was previously married to Nocturnal Animals actor Karl Glusman from 2019 to 2021. Meanwhile, Tatum was married to actor Jenna Dewan, splitting in 2018 after nearly nine years of marriage. The exes share an 11-year-old daughter, Everly.

Tatum dated British singer Jessie J from 2018 to 2020 before starting his relationship with Kravitz.
