After three years together, Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum are going their separate ways.
In October of last year, the pleasant news came that Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum were engaged.
One year later, reports are emerging of a split.
People was the first to report the breakup, stating that sources have told them the couple is parting ways, but they do not explain what the reason is.
The news comes shortly after Zoë Kravitz was recently spotted without her engagement ring.
This happened when she was strolling around New York with her friend Shailene Woodley, with whom she stars in both Big Little Lies and the Divergent films.

Channing and Zoë met on the set of the latter’s directorial debut Pussy Island, where Channing had one of the roles.
Dating rumors started in 2021 when they were photographed together at the Met Gala. The same year, Zoë divorced actor Karl Glusman. They were married in 2019.

And referred to him as the love of her life.
– From producing to performing to having pep talks to holding my head or my feet while I cried on the bathroom floor because I thought I had messed everything up, thank you for letting me be a total OCD, psycho control freak. Thank you for your patience. Making this movie with you has been an amazing adventure. Thank you for trusting me to direct you as a female. It’s really cool to get to make a film, but when you get to do it with the love of your life, it’s even cooler, the daughter of Lenny Kravitz reportedly said at the premiere.
Magic Mike star Channing also shared some words about working with his girlfriend to People in July.
– This is what I would say about creating something with someone you are together with or love: I recommend it, he said in an interview with the magazine.
Time.News Editor: Welcome, everyone, to this special edition of Time.News! Today, we’re diving into the recent news surrounding the breakup of Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum, a couple that captured many hearts. Joining us is relationship expert Dr. Emily Hart, who has a profound understanding of celebrity dynamics and the pressures that fame can create on personal relationships. Welcome, Dr. Hart!
Dr. Hart: Thank you for having me! It’s always interesting to explore the complexities of relationships, especially in the public eye.
Time.News Editor: Just a few days ago, reports came out that Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum are calling it quits after three years together. What are your initial thoughts on this news?
Dr. Hart: While breakups are never easy, especially in a high-profile relationship like theirs, it’s not entirely surprising. Often, the pressures of fame, public scrutiny, and personal ambitions can create rifts that are difficult to navigate. Their engagement just last October makes this news even more significant, but it highlights a common trend in celebrity relationships where timelines of engagement can shift.
Time.News Editor: Absolutely. And just to add some context, the split was surfaced shortly after Zoë was spotted out in New York without her engagement ring, which certainly raises eyebrows. How much do you think public perception plays a role in how couples handle these situations?
Dr. Hart: Public perception can be overwhelming. For celebrities, there’s a constant spotlight on their lives, which can complicate personal decisions. Removing an engagement ring—like what Zoë did—can send a loud message. It’s often both a personal choice and a public statement. Couples in the limelight can feel pressured to maintain a certain image even when their personal lives are unraveling.
Time.News Editor: They initially met on the set of Zoë’s directorial debut, Pussy Island, which certainly adds an interesting layer to their relationship. Do you think that shared professional experiences help or hinder relationships, particularly in Hollywood?
Dr. Hart: That’s a fascinating question. Shared professional experiences can certainly deepen connections, as it fosters a unique understanding of each other’s pressures. However, it can also lead to complications if one partner’s career outshines the other’s, or if stress from work begins to seep into personal life. Balance is key, and it seems like they might have struggled to find that.
Time.News Editor: This summer, they walked the red carpet together for the first time, and Zoë even praised Channing in her speech. It seemed like they were on the right track. What do you think can contribute to such a quick shift from appearing so united to parting ways?
Dr. Hart: Relationships can be highly volatile, especially when external factors play a role. What might look great from the outside can conceal underlying issues. Time, changes in personal priorities, or even shifts in emotional connection can create unexpected transitions. It’s also important to remember that sometimes love isn’t enough, and both individuals might have felt they were better apart.
Time.News Editor: After Zoë’s previous marriage to Karl Glusman and her subsequent relationship with Channing, do you think the pressure of maintaining love in the public eye affects how quickly individuals choose to enter or exit relationships?
Dr. Hart: Definitely. Once a person has been publicly committed, like through marriage, there’s often an expectation of success that can create additional pressure. Each experience can build resilience, but it can also pose fears of vulnerability in future relationships. Zoë’s transitions might require her to evaluate what she truly wants, especially as she navigates public expectations alongside personal desires.
Time.News Editor: Dr. Hart, thank you for your insights on such a sensitive topic. It’s always enlightening to hear your perspective on relationships, especially as we navigate these surprising developments in celebrity culture.
Dr. Hart: Thank you for having me! It’s crucial to remember that behind the glamour, celebrities are just like anyone else, facing the same challenges in love and life.
