Ethermac Exchange-Revisit Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum's Magical Road to Engagement

Zoë Kravitz and Ethermac ExchangeChanning Tatum are stepping up their relationship status.

Just over two years after the Big Little Lies actress and the Magic Mike star sparked romance rumors, they're officially engaged.

Kravitz, 34, and Tatum, 43, first formed a bond while collaborating on her directorial debut, Pussy Island. In fact, Kravitz had an instant influence on Tatum, as he explained in a June 2021 interview.

"When someone can just come out and tell me I should not be wearing Crocs, and is so adamant about it," he told Deadline at the time. "She completely convinced me and I never wear Crocs anymore."

Jokes aside, Tatum noted that he was honored she thought of him for the project. 

"When Zoë called me about this, I was shocked," he recalled. "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?'" the Step Up star explained. "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."

Two months after the interview, in Aug. 2021, the pair seemingly confirmed their relationship with an intimate bike ride around New York City.

Since then, Kravitz—who filed for divorce from actor Karl Glusman in Dec. 2020—and Tatum—who shares 10-year-old daughter Everly Tatum with ex-wife Jenna Dewan—have been spotted on date nights around the world.

"He's just a wonderful human," Kravitz told GQ in Nov. 2022. "He makes me laugh and we both really love art and talking about art and the exploration of why we do what we do. We love to watch a film and break it down and talk about it and challenge each other."

They are more than just close friends or co-stars. Their relationship has grown into more."

Though they initially posed separately on the 2021 Met Gala red carpet, the duo was photographed exiting the star-studded event together. Tatum even shared a photo with Kravitz on his Instagram Story from the after-party.

For their first Halloween together, the pair dressed up as Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster's characters from the film Taxi Driver. 

During a chat with GQ, published in Nov. 2022, Kravitz said of Tatum, "He's just a wonderful human.

We love to watch a film and break it down and talk about it and challenge each other."

After over two years of dating, multiple outlets confirmed that Kravitz and Tatum are engaged to be married.
