Kravitz cast her fiancé in the lead role in 2021, and their working relationship blossomed into a romance. In an interview with GQ in November 2022, Kravitz credits Tatum for his unwavering support during filming.

“Whether it was making me tea or pouring me a drink or going to whip someone into shape or whatever,” she said. “He really was my protector and it was really wonderful and sweet. I think if you can do something like that together, it's a good test. And we came out even stronger.”

Kravitz also spoke about their shared passion for film, “We love to watch a film and break it down and talk about it and challenge each other.”

Even  Zoë's dad, Lenny Kravitz, seems to be a fan of the union.  In a recent appearance on Sherri, Lenny gave his seal of approval to Channing, calling him a “great guy” with “manners and class.” 

He also highlighted the perfect timing of their relationship, suggesting they both came into each other's lives at a point where they were ready for a relationship.

“Blink Twice” hits theaters on August 23rd.
