Model of the moment Inka Williams opens up about life and her next move

Fresh off the back of romance rumours with Channing Tatum, Aussie-Balinese model Inka Williams is stepping into the spotlight with a bold new Reebok campaign - and a big career pivot on the horizon.

She’s the stunning Australian-Balinese beauty who has been thrust into the spotlight following her romance with US actor Channing Tatum.

In her first interview with media following news of their relationship, and questions surrounding Tatum off the table, 25-year-old Williams has opened up about her ambition beyond being a model, where she plans on spending most of her time, her career so far, and her latest gig with juggernaut Reebok.

“There is a lot going on for me at the moment work-wise,” said Williams, who the face of the upcoming Reebok Club C 40th anniversary campaign.

“I am in the process of signing with my agency in LA. And I want to get into acting as well. I’ve done a little bit here and there. Mostly drama when I was in school, but not really acting.”

Williams, undoubtably one of the hottest models of the moment, revealed she plans to divide her time between Bali, Europe, Australia and Los Angeles, a shift that suggests she will be closer to her LA‑based partner, Tatum.

“I did grow up in Indonesia and my whole family is there, so it will always be home, but right now I am trying to focus a bit more on my career so I will be living between Europe, Australia and LA as well,” she said

After starting out as a model at an early age, Williams has gone on to feature in Vogue Arabia, Elle Australia, Harper’s Bazaar Indonesia, and served as the face of Bonds’ New Era campaign in 2018.

She is the first to admit her modelling career has fluctuated - with periods of intense success, followed by a lull and then a resurgence - by choice.

“It started modelling when I was really young,” she said.

“I’ve gone through phases when it wasn't really my priority. Especially when I was growing up, as I wanted to be grounded and find my values and I wanted to do that around my family.

“It (modelling) boomed, then it slowed down. Overall it has been pretty up and down.”

“But I am still really, really grateful for all the opportunities that I’ve had.

“I love it as a job and feel really lucky to have that as one of my jobs.”

Her latest gig is with cult sneaker brand Reebok.

“I have always loved Reebok,” she said.

“In Indonesia it was one of the only sneaker brands we could get so I grew up with them.”

“I remember thrifting as a teenager and finding the sickest Reebok sweaters. I wish little Inka could have known one day she would be a part of this iconic legacy!”
