Blink twice before reading this casting news.
Just two hours before multiple outlets reported Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz had called off their engagement, the Magic Mike star announced his latest film project—which is also set to star his now-ex.
In an Instagram Stories post Oct. 29, the actor reshared Dave Bautista’s post about their upcoming comedy Alpha Gang. The film “centers on a group of alien invaders sent to conquer Earth,” and is set to star Channing and Zoë, in addition to Cate Blanchett, Steven Yeun, Riley Keough and Léa Seydoux, according to the Deadline article that Channing reshared.
The pair haven’t publicly spoken about the breakup. E! News has reached out to their reps for comment but hasn’t heard back.
Channing, 44, and Zoë, 35, were first introduced by mutual friend Riley before working together on Zoë’s directorial debut Blink Twice, which was released in August. The pair sparked dating rumors during production on the thriller in 2021, when they were spotted riding around New York City on his motorcycle. By October 2023, the two were engaged, with Zoë flaunting an engagement ring at a Halloween party hosted by Kendall Jenner.
Throughout the relationship, the Big Little Lies alum frequently praised her partner for his open-minded demeanor.
“I felt, even from afar, before I knew him, that he was a feminist and that he wasn't afraid of exploring that darkness, because he knows he's not that,” Zoë told WSJ Magazine in August 2022. “That's why I was drawn to him and wanted to meet with him. And I was right.”
Similarly, the 21 Jump Street star—who settled his divorce from ex-wife Jenna Dewan just one month ago—felt a strong bond with the High Fidelity actress that carried over into his professional life.
“I don’t really make any creative decisions or very many decisions without getting her point of view now,” Channing told E! News in August, “because I respect her point of view and her brain, her tastes and almost everything. So we need each other now.”
