Reactions to Tatum's Posts

On social media, Tatum's cryptic posts were widely mocked. One user wrote, "This made me giggle," while another commented on Reddit, "Crashing out on an IG story. Celebrities, they're just like us." A third person observed, "Channing Tatum is a handsome mess. He fumbled his first wife and he's been in a midlife crisis since then." Another commentator suggested Tatum should move on, especially since he has a new girlfriend, 26-year-old model Inka Williams. "He needs to get over it, he has a girlfriend 19 years younger to fill the void, but I guess it's not working," they wrote.

An insider told Page Six that Styles is "completely smitten" with Kravitz, adding, "He would jump off a cliff for her." Rumors of their relationship surfaced last summer when they were spotted together in Italy, and later in London and New York City.

I want to have great friendships with people. I want a family."

Following their split, Kravitz told ELLE that she was "grateful" for her experience working with Tatum on "Blink Twice."
