Channing Tatum was observed in a melancholic state as he ventured out alone following his recent separation from Zoë Kravitz.
The star of “21 Jump Street” was spotted smoking a cigarette during a solitary stroll in New York City this past Saturday.
Dressed casually, the actor opted for a white T-shirt, loose-fitting trousers, and Converse sneakers, completing his ensemble with a black jacket draped over his shoulder.
At 44 years old, Tatum concealed his eyes behind dark sunglasses and appeared to be listening to music through his AirPods.
This public outing occurred just days after reports surfaced confirming that he and Kravitz, aged 35, had ended their engagement after three years together. According to a source cited by People, “They haven’t been on the same page and grew apart.”
Another insider revealed to Us Weekly that the couple had realized their differing paths after completing promotional activities for their film, “Blink Twice,” last summer. “[Zoë] and Channing are opposites, but their shared enthusiasm for art and film had initially drawn them together,” the source noted.
The pair met in 2021 during the making of the psychological thriller, which Kravitz directed and Tatum starred in.
The escalating “pressure” to marry is believed to have contributed to the couple’s breakup after their engagement in October 2023. “Amid looming wedding plans, neither approached the altar with haste,” the insider further revealed to Us Weekly.
Despite their separation, a source exclusively informed Page Six that the ex-partners have remained in contact, indicating “no animosity” exists between them. “There was no dramatic falling out; they simply grew apart and deemed it necessary to part ways,” the insider stated.
While the exact timing of their split remains unclear, Kravitz was seen without her engagement ring while dining with her “Big Little Lies” co-star Shailene Woodley in October, as noted by the Daily Mail. The day following the breakup announcement, the “Batman” actress was also spotted in New York City minus the significant diamond.
A subsequent source revealed to Page Six that Kravitz “danced all night” with friends at a Princess Diana-themed Halloween celebration shortly thereafter.
