Rumors were swirling for weeks that Zoë Kravitz and Harry Styles had gotten engaged after 8 months of dating.
The actress fueled the rumor mill when she was seen rocking a massive diamond while strolling in New York. Eventually, via PEOPLE magazine, the engagement news became official.
A source revealed to the publication: “They are both very happy. Harry has been ready to settle down for some time, and Zoë is the perfect match for his energy. She has been showing off her engagement ring with visible excitement to their small circle of friends.”
Hours after the confirmation, Zoë Kravitz’s ex-boyfriend, Channing Tatum, appeared to have a mini-meltdown on social media.
Tatum and Kravitz dated from 2021 to 2024 — having worked together on the spectacular movie Blink Twice — and were engaged for a year before their sudden split in October 2024.
It had appeared that the pair had truly healed from the brutal, unexpected breakup and moved on, but it seems the Magic Mike star is still in his feelings over Kravitz’s pending wedding.
Channing Tatum: A Social Media Meltdown Fueled by Cryptic Poetry and “8-Year Cycles”
Tatum, who is usually quiet on social media, significantly increased his activity and antics, suggesting a man reeling from “the one who got away” syndrome.
While Tatum has not named Kravitz or Styles directly, the timing, the deep sorrow, and the subtle digs of his posts have sparked significant buzz.
Tatum shared a carousel of a poem by John Roedel on his Instagram Story, set to the song “Faith’s Hymn.” The poem’s themes of heartache and past mistakes suggest that Tantum believes his passionate romance ended in an unexpected way.
The most poignant lines read: “My brain and heart divorced / a decade ago / over who was to blame about / how big of a mess I have become. Eventually, / they couldn’t be / in the same room / with each other.”
He later returned to social media to hint at his heartbreak, posting an image of a female fighter, bruised but defiant, captioned: “Didn’t go the way I wanted.” He lamented about finally “ending an 8-year cycle,” noting that Taureans would soon experience a “reset.”
Later, he shared a video of himself in New York, where the new couple is frequently seen using pool noodles humorously as “therapy.”
The Aftermath: “No Sleep Lost” as Tatum Moves on with Inka Williams
Some outlets noted he briefly posted and then deleted specific stories, fueling the idea that he is “going through it” privately. Critics have noted that Zoë’s new 9-carat, $500,000 engagement ring is rumored to be from the same designer as her ring from Channing — may have been the final trigger for Tatum’s “unceremonious” social media activity.
Both rings are rumored to be from Jessica McCormack, a designer Zoë has championed for years. Experts have pointed out that the vintage “button-back” bezel setting is almost identical to her previous engagement ring, making the new bling a constant visual reminder of their failed 2024 nuptials.
Insiders believe seeing his ex-fiancée wearing a “bigger and better” version of his own sentimental gift was the final straw that led to his social media venting.
But sources close to Tatum have revealed his true feelings on the matter. Sources told Page Six and PEOPLE that he is in a steady relationship with model Inka Williams, proving he has moved forward since his split from Kravitz in late 2024.
One insider said the actor was “surprised” when he first read the news of the engagement, as he is no longer in regular contact with her. Despite the initial shock, “if Zoë is happy, he’s happy for her.”
Cloud Nine: Harry Styles is “Completely Smitten” and Ready to Jump Off a Cliff
The insider made it clear he is “not losing any sleep” over the news and is primarily focused on his own life and upcoming projects. While Tatum remains grounded, the new couple is reportedly in a world of their own.
It is claimed that Harry Styles is “completely smitten” and would “jump off a cliff” for Kravitz, while she is reportedly “on cloud nine.”
