Channing Tatum Shares Cryptic Message Amid Zoë Kravitz and Harry Styles Engagement Rumors
Channing Taum is getting in touch with his feelings.
Amid rumors that his ex-fiancée Zoë Kravitz is engaged to Harry Styles, who she started dating last year after her 2024 split from the Magic Mike alum, Channing pointed his followers towards a poem that resonated with him.
The 46-year-old wrote “read” in his April 27 Instagram Story alongside a poem originally shared by poet John Roedel four days prior, which began, “My brain and heart divorced / a decade ago / about who was to blame about how big of a mess I have become / Eventually, they couldn’t be in the same room together.”
“Now my head and heart share custody of me,” the prose continued. “They blame each other for the state of my life / there’s been a lot of yelling—and crying / so, / lately I’ve been spending a lot of time with my gut / who serves as my unofficial therapist.”
The poem went on to describe the torment of how the “heart is always sad about something that happened yesterday,” while the head is “always worried about something that may happen tomorrow.”
“My gut smiled and said: / ‘in that case, you should stay with your lungs for a while,'” it continued. “There is only breath / and in that breath, you can rest while your heart and head work out their relationship.”
The poem concluded, “I packed a little bag and walked to the doors of the lungs / before I could even knock, she opened the door with a smile and a gust of wind embraced me, she said / ‘what took you so long?'”
Channing and Zoë, 37, started dating in 2021 after working together on her directorial debut Blink Twice. The pair got engaged two years later, though their romance fizzled out in 2024 shortly after their movie’s release.

Still, Zoë has no regrets about her relationship with the 21 Jump Steet actor, telling Elle last year, “I love this thing that we made together and I care for him very much.”
“I’m so happy that all happened,” she added at the time. “I just feel so grateful to go on that journey together.”
While Channing—who shares daughter Everly, 12, with ex-wife Jenna Dewan—has not publicly addressed his breakup with Zoë, he has moved on romantically. Last April, he went Instagram official with model Inka Williams.

“Happy life to the handsomest, kindest, funniest, stoopidest [sic] most gorgeous human ever,” Inka wrote on her Instagram Stories at the time. “Merci for making life more beautiful.”
Channing reciprocated the love during her birthday in September, captioning a picture of Inka, 26, riding on the back of his motorcycle at Burning Man: “Happiest day of birth to my RIDER!”
He added, “Love you so.”
