Hollywood heartthrob Channing Tatum is officially moving on. The Magic Mike star just hard-launched his new romance as he stepped onto the red carpet with 26-year-old Australian model Inka Williams. On September 9, 2025, Williams joined Tatum and his 12-year-old daughter, Everly, at the Los Angeles premiere of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. 

The couple’s red carpet debut came on a special day, as the 45-year-old actor also celebrated Inka’s 26th birthday earlier that day with a series of heartfelt posts on Instagram, lovingly calling her his ‘RIDER’. Among their sweet couple moments in the posts, one that caught the most attention was their on-camera kiss.

The new romance comes months after Tatum’s split from American actress and filmmaker Zoë Kravitz, who broke off their engagement in October 2024. Now, all eyes are on his new 19-year-younger girlfriend, Inka Williams, who has captured the actor’s heart.

Who is Channing Tatum’s new girlfriend, Inka Williams?

Inka Williams was born on September 9, 1999, in Melbourne, Australia, but she spent most of her childhood and formative years in Bali, Indonesia. Her upbringing was therefore influenced by the diverse cultures of both countries. 

Williams credits her upbringing in Bali for her compassionate and open stance on life. She later moved to London to expand her modelling career, though she often shares that she still misses the island life of Bali. Speaking to By Charlotte about how her upbringing has shaped her outlook towards life, the model shared:

“Growing up in Bali has made me a very compassionate person. It’s colourful and harmonious, yet still with an edge of imperfection. I feel so connected to the culture and energy of this island. It’s so sacred and deep.”

Now 26, Inka Williams has made a name for herself in the modelling industry, being signed with IMG Models and having appeared in major fashion magazines. She has modelled for top outlets such as Vogue Arabia, Elle Australia, and Harper’s Bazaar Indonesia. She has also fronted major campaigns for Bonds and other global brands. 

Inka Williams has her own fashion label

Inka’s interest in fashion and modelling was mainly influenced by her late mother, whose designs inspired her to own a fashion brand one day. In 2019, Williams succeeded in her vision and launched her own clothing line, She Is I, which focuses on ‘timeless, good-quality statement pieces’ that blend modern fashion with a hint of nostalgia.

Williams often describes She Is I as her dream project, a way of honouring her late mother’s legacy while promoting conscious fashion choices. After launching the brand, Inka shared with By Charlotte how it celebrates her ‘mother’s legacy in design’ and revives her ‘amazing creations from the 90’s’. The model said:

“I always knew one day I would try my best to recreate those timeless pieces from her wardrobe!” she wrote on the site. “I still wear the pieces she made and wore [throughout] the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. They are still in unsurprisingly perfect condition.”

Her blooming romance with Channing Tatum

Inka Williams and Channing Tatum’s dating rumours first surfaced in February 2025 when they attended a pre-Oscars party together in Los Angeles. They were photographed leaving the party: Tatum, dressed in a tan coat layered over a black shirt, and Williams, sporting a strapless black dress. 

While neither addressed their relationship status back then, it was confirmed later when she posted a goofy tribute on the Blink Twice actor’s 45th birthday in April 2025. Taking to her IG Stories, the model wrote:

“Happy life to the handsomest, kindest, funniest, stoopidest most gorgeous human ever !!! Merci for making life beautiful and fun.”

In one of the posts, she wrote, “JTM trop fort,” a slang term in French for “I love you.” Now, with their red carpet appearance alongside Tatum’s daughter, the internet is already in love with the new romance. Despite their glaring 19-year age difference, Channing and Inka are evolving as one of Hollywood’s newest ‘it’ couples.

Channing Tatum’s past relationships

Channing Tatum, known for his romantic roles in iconic films like Dear John (2010) and The Vow (2012), has not been the luckiest in his personal relationships. The actor married actress Jenna Dewan, whom he met on the set of Step Up after they began dating in 2006. They tied the knot in 2009 and welcomed their daughter, Everly, in 2013. Nearly a decade later, the couple separated in 2018.

Tatum’s next notable romance was with British singer and songwriter Jessie J, whom he reportedly started dating shortly after his separation from Dewan. The duo had been in an on-and-off relationship for two years before parting ways in 2020. 

Channing’s most talked-about romance was with Zoë Kravitz, which continues to make headlines months after their split. The two began dating in 2021 after Tatum starred in Kravitz’s directorial debut, Pussy Island. Their relationship remained low-key yet steady, and by 2023, they were reportedly engaged. However, in October 2024, they called off the engagement and parted ways, citing that they were ‘on different pages’.

Now, with Inka Williams standing proudly by his side, Channing Tatum is turning over a new leaf, and the internet can’t wait to see more of the beautiful couple.
