A complete timeline of Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz's relationship

Kravitz hadn't met Tatum prior to casting him in the film, which she spent five years cowriting and rewriting with E.T. Feigenbaum. However, they both voiced characters in the 2017 animated film "The Lego Batman Movie."

"Pussy Island" centers on a cocktail waitress named Frida and a billionaire tech mogul named Slater King (Tatum).

"Chan was my first choice, the one I thought of when I wrote this character," Kravitz told Deadline in June 2021. "I just knew from 'Magic Mike' and his live shows, I got the sense he's a true feminist and I wanted to collaborate with someone who was clearly interested in exploring this subject matter."

She shared similar comments months later in an interview with Elle, saying that she felt like Tatum would be "brave enough" to be part of the movie.

"You need to be so far from who this is, where it's not scary," she said. "And I don't think we've ever seen him play someone dark. I'm excited to see him do that."

Speculation occurred shortly after Kravitz filed for divorce from Karl Glusman, who she wed in Paris on June 29, 2019.

E! News reported that the relationship rumor was not accurate and a source told People, "They're working together on an upcoming project and it's not true that they're dating."

Tatum's last known relationship was with the musician Jessie J, who he dated on and off from 2018 to 2020. He also shares a daughter named Everly with ex-wife Jenna Dewan, who he was married to from 2009 to 2018.

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

"I was just trying to be a good friend, Chan," Kravitz replied.

Tatum said that he "totally loved Crocs for a hot second, and in one hang she was like, you can't ever do that again. And I said, 'OK, fine.'"

He added: "I feel cooler, and her point of view on me and Crocs was legit. She had a good argument. The one thing I can pull off is listening."

In mid-August, paparazzi caught Tatum riding a bike in New York City with Kravitz sitting behind him and her arms draped over his shoulders. Another photo showed the two stars walking together in the city on the same day.

"They are spending a lot of time together and having fun," an anonymous source told E! News. "They are more than just close friends or costars. Their relationship has grown into more."

Shortly after, they were seen smiling while drinking iced coffee in NYC.

On another occasion that month, Tatum and Kravitz were photographed exiting a supermarket in upstate New York with items like flowers, toilet paper, and a roasting pan.

They were seen again in Manhattan and Brooklyn, too. A source told People, "They spent the weekend in NYC, strolled around the city, met up with friends and visited the Guggenheim Museum. They looked very happy. They have this cute and flirty chemistry."

In late August, fans also noticed that Tatum was following several fan accounts dedicated to Kravitz on Instagram, including @zoekravitzsource and @kravitzupdate.

The event was held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the theme in 2021 was "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion."

Tatum and Kravitz walked the red carpet separately, with the "Magic Mike" star wearing a black Versace suit and the "High Fidelity" actress wearing a see-through Saint Laurent dress.

After leaving the event together, they went to the Cincoro Tequila Met Gala afterparty hosted by Alicia Keys, People reported. A source told the publication that the stars "did not take their hands off of each other."

The actors were seen holding hands while walking together in NYC. Another image showed Tatum with his arm wrapped around Kravitz's shoulder.

Weeks later, a source told People that the stars are "more relaxed lately" and "don't seem to care about hiding their relationship anymore."

Tatum dressed as Travis Bickle (played by Robert De Niro) and Kravitz channeled Iris (Jodie Foster) from Martin Scorsese's classic 1976 movie "Taxi Driver."

The couple posted photos in their costumes on their Instagram stories.

In a cover story with Variety, Tatum said that he told Kravitz not to star in her directorial debut, "Pussy Island," based on the workload he experienced while codirecting and starring in the film "Dog."

"I was like, 'You'll need double the days,'" Tatum said. "She's a perfectionist in the best possible way."

Tatum was asked about his fashion evolution in a conversation with "21 Jump Street" costar Jonah Hill for a cover story for VMAN.

Tatum said that "dressing became a bit of a chore" when he moved to LA and he "just got over it." The actor said that when he took a break from acting a few years ago, he "really wanted to pay attention and figure out who I was."

"I went on a little bit of a journey trying to do Balenciaga and all this shit," he said. "And I was just like, 'This ain't me either. I don't know what the kids are doing these days.' And then some friends of mine, like you and Zo [Kravitz], were like, 'Why don't you just wear what you wear? Why don't you just be you?'"

He added: "You gave me some very specific style tips. I'm really enjoying finding my own voice and my own way with some very beautiful guardrails."

"I'm happy," Kravitz told Elle in a cover story for the March 2022 issue, in response to a comment about her joyful demeanor in paparazzi photos of herself with Tatum.

"I have moments of being nervous," Kravitz told Elle. "But I know the story so well, and I'm trying to focus less on 'Am I going to do a good job?' and more on 'What is my intention?'"
