Just hours before the news of their split became public, Channing Tatum took to Instagram to share a post about his latest project with Zoë Kravitz, Alpha Gang. The post, a screenshot of a Deadline article initially shared by Dave Bautista, highlighted the project’s unique premise—alien invaders disguised as a 1950s biker gang who face unexpected emotional struggles while attempting to conquer Earth. The post was still live on Tatum’s Instagram Stories at the time news broke of his and Kravitz’s separation, adding unexpected weight to his online support for the film.
Alpha Gang is set to feature a star-studded cast, including Cate Blanchett, Steven Yeun, Léa Seydoux, and Riley Keough. This film is a testament to Tatum and Kravitz’s professional partnership, and their shared respect for each other as artists remains clear, despite their recent breakup. The two first developed a close relationship in 2021 while working on Kravitz’s directorial project Blink Twice, in which Tatum starred. Their relationship became official that September, and by October 2023, reports circulated about their engagement, marking a significant step in their three-year journey together.
Family reactions to their relationship were highly supportive, with Lenny Kravitz, Zoë’s father, expressing his joy over their engagement earlier this year. During Blink Twice, Tatum spoke warmly of his experience working with Kravitz, describing the project as one of his most challenging yet meaningful. He attributed much of the film’s success to Kravitz’s presence and leadership on set, praising her as someone he could lean on creatively. According to Tatum, her collaborative approach created a trusting work environment, something he found truly valuable in a co-creator.
Kravitz also reflected on their partnership, expressing admiration for Tatum’s talent and professionalism. She has often referred to art as their “love language” and discussed how their shared passion for creativity has strengthened their connection. In a candid interview, she even mentioned her hopes to collaborate with Tatum on future projects, underscoring the depth of their creative bond.
Though their relationship has now taken a different turn, their work together on both Blink Twice and Alpha Gang stands as a testament to their shared respect and admiration as artists. Tatum’s recent post about the film, coupled with Kravitz’s own enthusiasm for collaborating, suggests that their influence on each other will continue to impact both of their careers. Moving forward, their relationship will likely serve as an example of how deeply intertwined personal and professional lives can be, especially for artists whose creative paths align so closely.
