Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum have been thriving romantically after one year, and now we're here to track it all.

In a love story that begins with Tatum as a muse, Kravitz and the Magic Mike star first connected back in 2017, when the Batwoman actress personally scouted Tatum to star as Slater King in her directorial debut and thriller, Pussy Island. After working together on the film, the two got close and friendly on various New York City dates, and ultimately fell into a romance by 2021.

Now fully a couple, the pair continue to be spotted on PDA-filled outings around the world, and frequently gush about one another in interviews—on both a personal and professional level.

Ahead, see the highlights from the couple's sweet relationship.


August 2022: They commemorate their first anniversary.

The two celebrate their first year of romance together with a couple's getaway to Positano, Italy, where they are spotted matching in white outfits and kissing on a yacht. They also bring along Everly Tatum, the actor's nine-year-old daughter from his previous marriage to Jenna Dewan.

"They are very happy," a source tells People of their thriving romance. "Their careers are a big focus and they share this passion. ... When they are off, they are very low-key. They enjoy quiet date nights with friends but most often just hang out at home."

"Channing is serious about Zoë," the insider adds. "It's not a casual relationship. They have been exclusive for a long time."

August 16, 2022: Kravitz talks about working with Tatum.

The actress discloses more details on working with Tatum on Pussy Island in an interview with WSJ. Magazine, where she praises his performance in the film and happily recalls her creative experience with him on set.

"When you make things with people, it's a very sacred space, and when you're compatible with somebody creatively, it often opens up other channels, because you're kind of sharing all of yourself," Kravitz says. "I'm really grateful that this movie has brought him into my life that way," she also adds.

"I felt, even from afar, before I knew him, that he was a feminist and that he wasn't afraid of exploring that darkness, because he knows he's not that," Kravitz continues. "That's why I was drawn to him and wanted to meet with him. And I was right."

She also likes that Tatum had yet to play a dark character before this role. "I think that's exciting to watch someone who's mostly played boy next door, good guy, love interest, all of that," she says.

April 17, 2022: They spend Easter Sunday together.

The couple are spotted out on Easter Sunday holding hands while taking a stroll in London, where they wear coordinated spring fits: Kravitz in a relaxed gray turtleneck, and Tatum in a dark brown coat.

Tatum is reportedly a beaming boyfriend. A source tells People that the actor has "been telling friends how proud he is of Zoë" for her Batman performance as Catwoman, and adds, "He is a huge fan of her acting."

Days later, another insider tells People that the two are still very happy together and have maintained a "playful energy that they have had since they first started dating." The source adds that they "continue to spend time together on both coasts," despite their busy schedules, and notes that they've opted to be more "discreet" about their relationship, as they are "uncomfortable with the attention."

February 28, 2022: Tatum supports Kravitz at The Batman premiere.

The actor and Jason Momoa—who earlier this year also split from Kravitz's mother, Lisa Bonet—show support for Kravitz upon the official release of The Batman, in which the actress stars as Catwoman next to lead Robert Pattinson. In a shot shared on Instagram, Tatum and Momoa flash hand horns at the camera before boarding a private flight to the premiere.

"CHEEEEHUUUUUUUU. SO EXCITED @channingtatum and I are on our way to see our ZOZO," Momoa writes on the post. "Finally @thebatman premiere. I'm so beyond proud of you @zoeisabellakravitz all my aloha to @adamweitsman and @daveophilly for making this happen at the last minute. mahalo @wbpictures for the invite."

February 14, 2022: Kravitz opens up about Tatum.

Kravitz praises Tatum for his role as Slater King in Pussy Island in a cover story for ELLE. On what drove her decision to cast him in the darker role, she explains how Tatum greatly differed from the toxic qualities associated with his character, so portraying them onscreen never felt problematic or overly real.

"Looking at his work and hearing him speak about Magic Mike and the live show, I'm like, I think he's a feminist," Kravitz explains of her decision to cast him. "You need to be so far from who this is, where it's not scary. And I don't think we've ever seen him play someone dark. I'm excited to see him do that."

February 2, 2022: Tatum speaks highly of Kravitz.

In a cover story for Variety, Tatum opens up about his work with Kravitz on Pussy Island and openly admires her ambition on the project. "She's a perfectionist in the best possible way," he tells the magazine.

Tatum also reveals that Kravitz and his fellow 21 Jump Street co-star Jonah Hill have influenced his personal style. "Some friends of mine, like you and [Zoë Kravitz] were like, 'Why don't you just wear what you wear? Why don't you just be you?'" Tatum tells Hill in a V Man interview that he jointly conducts with the co-star. "You gave me some very specific style tips."

November 15, 2021: Kravitz reportedly bonds with Tatum's daughter.

In a big step that "only seems natural," Kravitz builds a relationship with Everly, the actor's then eight-year-old daughter, according to a People source. "[Tatum] is a very loving dad," the insider adds. "He also acts very serious with Zoë."
