Channing Tatum got way more than a leading role out of his latest movie: He found burning love.
The éZoëShe’s the Man actor revealed that mutual friend Riley Keough—his costar in 2017’s Logan Lucky—facilitated the pairing with his now-fiancé Zoë Kravitz for the movie Blink Twice (formerly called Pussy Island).
“I remember Riley Keough texted me,” Channing exclusively told E! News correspondent Will Marfuggi. “She was like, ‘Hey, I have a friend that wants to send you something. Do you know Zoë Kravitz? I'm going to give you her number.’”
And Channing was already a fan of the Big Little Lies actress long before Elvis Presley’s granddaughter connected them over Blink Twice, which served as the couple’s meet cute.
“We both were going out for a movie that I ended up doing called A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints,” he shared of the 2006 film. “Then she was in Jodie Foster's [2007 film The Brave One]. That's the first time I ever saw her and that was right around the same time.”
As Channing recalls, seeing Zoë’s work only emphasized his enthusiasm.
“She's one of the cooler people that I've ever watched,” he said in the interview, airing Aug. 14 at 11 p.m. on E!. “I'd been tracking her forever and I'd never met her before.”
So, when Riley finally connected them over a decade later, working together was definitely a priority for the 21 Jump Street actor, who shares daughter Everly, 10, with ex Jenna Dewan.
“The very first time we met, it was after I read this thing that she sent me called Pussy Island,” he continued. “I was like, ‘I guess I'm definitely reading this.’”
And the Magic Mike actor knows he got more than just a great role from his involvement with Zoë’s directorial debut, which premieres in theaters Aug. 23.
“A lifetime partner,” he told E! News. “[For] a lifetime creative journey.”

In a June 2021 interview with Deadline, Channing Tatum shared how honored he was that Zoë Kravitz thought to include him in her directorial debut, Pussy Island.
Amid rumblings of a romance, Tatum and Kravitz appeared to confirm their relationship status in Aug. 2021 with a sweet bike ride around New York City. "There's more than a friendship going on with Channing and Zoe," a source told E! News at the time. "They are spending a lot of time together and having fun. They are more than just close friends or co-stars. Their relationship has grown into more."
Though they initially posed separately on the 2021 Met Gala red carpet, the duo was photographed exiting the star-studded event together. Tatum even shared a photo with Kravitz on his Instagram Story from the after-party.
For their first Halloween together, the pair dressed up as Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster's characters from the film Taxi Driver.
During a chat with GQ, published in Nov. 2022, Kravitz said of Tatum, "He's just a wonderful human. He makes me laugh and we both really love art and talking about art and the exploration of why we do what we do. We love to watch a film and break it down and talk about it and challenge each other."
After over two years of dating, multiple outlets confirmed that Kravitz and Tatum are engaged to be married.
