Channing Tatum enjoys sweet date night with Aussie girlfriend Inka Williams

Channing Tatum’s romance with his new Aussie girlfriend is well and truly out in the open, with the couple spotted looking very cosy on a date.

Channing Tatum’s romance with his new Aussie girlfriend, Inka Williams, is well and truly out in the open.

Just one week after the actor, 44, flew to Australia to attend the Grand Prix in Melbourne with the 25-year-old by his side, it was her turn to make the trip stateside to spend some quality time with the Hollywood star.

The duo were seen looking loved up as during a late-night dinner with friends – one of them was of the four-legged variety – at Chez Jay steak house in Santa Monica on Saturday night.

The new couple kept it casual with Williams wearing an oversized denim jacket, faded jeans and a baseball cap, with Tatum wearing a relaxed white tee.

Tatum and the Melbourne-born, Bali-raised model were first linked in January as outed by online entertainment site DeuxMoi, who spotted him “with an unidentified woman” who was “25 years old and half his height” at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel.

Last month, the pair further fuelled speculation of a romance when the Magic Mike star was once again spotted with Williams, walking hand-in-hand in LA at the Mustafa Poet concert at the Palace Theatre.

After two months of speculation, they confirmed their romance by attending the Creative Artists Agency’s (CAA) pre-Oscars party together earlier this month at The Living Room bar in LA, with the pair seen leaving the bash arm-in-arm.

“They met through friends. She’s great,” a source told People magazine at the time. “Channing’s doing well. [Inka] makes him happy.”

And it appears the 20-year age gap is not an issue in their relationship.

“She has her own life,” the source added of Williams. “She’s young, but seems older.”

The pairing comes four months after Tatum ended his engagement with actress Zoe Kravitz, 35.

The couple were together for a total of three years after meeting on the set of the thriller Blink Twice in 2021, which was Kravitz’s directorial debut.

In September, just one month before their split, Tatum gushed about the Big Little Lies star on Instagram, particularly her work ethic on the film.

“This little sweet. She So tired bro,” he wrote alongside a photo of Zoe lying asleep with her head in his lap.

Tatum shared this photo just one month before their break-up. It has since been deleted. Picture: Instagram

“Every time I wondered if she’d break …. She just kept going and going and going. Always on the dig for truth. She pour’d every single ounce of her into this film,” he continued.

“I’m so proud to stand ten toes down for her, this film and everyone in it. forever. Knowing what it took to make it. No one will ever know.”

“Thank you for finding me and seeing me. I got you forever. Me and you back to back against it all. I’ll never blink. Let’s go.”

The photo has since been deleted and, like Tatum, Kravtiz has moved on with another Hollywood heart-throb: The Recruit star Noah Centineo, 28.
