Zoë Kravitz only expressed gratitude as she reflected on her past relationship with Channing Tatum.
Kravitz cast Tatum as the lead antagonist in the psychological thriller “Blink Twice,” her 2024 feature directorial debut. Speaking to Elle in an interview published Tuesday, she says that the pair’s subsequent split has had no impact on her view of the film.
“I love this thing that we made together, and I care for him very much,” she told the outlet. “Even when you bring up how great his performance is, it warms my heart to hear that, and I’m so happy that all of it happened. I just feel so grateful that we got to go on that journey together.”
Kravitz and Tatum reportedly began dating in early 2021, shortly after beginning work on “Blink Twice,” which was then known as “Pussy Island.” The couple became engaged in October 2023 and won the blessing of Kravitz’s famous father, musician Lenny Kravitz.
Though Kravitz and Tatum appeared to be on good terms at the premiere of “Blink Twice” in Los Angeles last August, they officially called off their engagement by October.
Since then, Tatum has been romantically linked in the media to Australian model Inka Williams, while Kravitz has sparked dating rumors with actor Noah Centineo.
Despite reports, the Elle interview isn’t the first time Kravitz has discussed Tatum publicly since their split. Speaking to director Matt Reeves for Variety in December, she recalled the process of casting the “Magic Mike” actor in “Blink Twice,” noting: “I wanted to weaponize his charisma. We’ve never seen him do something like that.”

And while they may no longer be together, she told Elle she believes her ex has “got a lot to offer” with regard to his acting skills.
“He has so much more coming,” she said, “and I think he’s in a place as an actor where he’s feeling really confident and people are seeing different sides of him.”
