Channing Tatum is back in the headlines, and this time, it’s not for a blockbuster film or viral dance scene, it’s for his love life.
The 21 Jump Street star recently ended his three-year relationship with actress Zoë Kravitz, and it didn’t take long before rumors started flying about a new romance. Now, fans are reacting strongly to his latest relationship, especially after learning about the nearly 20-year age difference between Tatum and his new girlfriend.
On social media, many have voiced their discomfort:
“She’s almost 20 years younger than him. This makes me sad.”
“Looks like dad and daughter.”
“Gross.”
“Lost all respect, and he’s my celebrity crush.”
Others, however, are defending the actor’s right to date whoever he pleases.
“Life is way too short for anyone to judge someone just wanting to live it.”
“Who gives a s*** about who he’s dating.”
According to People magazine, the 44-year-old actor is now dating 25-year-old model Inka Williams. The two were reportedly spotted together at a pre-Oscars event in Los Angeles on February 28, following an earlier sighting in January at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel.
Williams, born in Melbourne and based in Bali, is not just known for her modeling career, she also runs her own fashion brand, She Is I. In a previous interview, she shared how growing up in the industry helped her develop “resilience and strength.”
An insider told People that the pair met through friends and that Williams, while young, “seems older” and has “her own life.” Most importantly, the source claims, “She makes him happy.”
As for his ex, Kravitz, whom he met on the set of Blink Twice, the split appears to have been amicable, and the two will reportedly be working together on another upcoming film. According to the source: “They ended things on okay terms.”
For now, fans remain split. Some are thrilled to see Tatum moving on, while others are raising eyebrows over the age difference. But love in Hollywood rarely follows the rules, and Tatum, it seems, is doing just fine.
