Channing Tatum Packs on the PDA With Girlfriend Inka Williams, Makes Rare Comment on Romance

Channing Tatum is loved up and wants the world to know it.

The Magic Mike star, 45, took to Instagram on Tuesday, September 9, to celebrate the 26th birthday of his girlfriend Inka Williams. Sharing a series of Instagram Stories that captured his love, Tatum included a sweet photo of himself kissing the Australian-born model.

“Happiest day of birth to my RIDER!” Tatum wrote atop a video of the duo riding a motorcycle together along a stretch of sand, as recorded by Williams who wrapped one arm around her man as she filmed with the other. “Love you so.”

Another Instagram Story from Tatum included a photo of Williams dressed in a skimpy polka dot bikini with a blanket draped over her shoulders, and another showed footage of her jumping into the ocean before swimming to an inflatable as the text “🩷 you Stoopid” was posted over the top.

Tatum’s final Instagram Story featured another video of Williams floating on the far-flung inflatable with the Sade track “Kiss of Life” playing in the background.

Williams confirmed via her own Instagram Stories on Tuesday that she spent her birthday morning in Los Angeles, the same city in which Tatum resides. Williams wrote over footage of her and a female friend cooking in a kitchen together, “Woke up in Los Angeles with my best friend and made french toast.”

Tatum and Williams took their romance public in February by attending a pre-Oscars party together. The public outing arrived four months after Tatum ended his engagement to Zoë Kravitz. (Kravitz and Tatum dated for two years before their engagement was revealed in October 2023.)

Us Weekly exclusively reported in May that Tatum and Williams, who was raised in Bali, Indonesia, and moved to London to pursue a modelling career, wanted to “take things slow” after Tatum’s split from Kravitz. “He doesn’t want a serious relationship right now,” the insider told Us at the time. “Channing likes her fun and spirited personality.”

Just one month later, Williams shared photos of herself and Tatum enjoying a luxurious yacht trip together via her Instagram Stories.

Before Tatum dated Kravitz, the actor was in a lengthy relationship with English singer Jessie J. Tatum and Jessie, 37, were an item from 2018 to 2020.

Prior to sparking up a romance with Jessie, Tatum was married to Jenna Dewan from 2009. The actor and Dewan, 44, met on the set of 2006’s Step Up and share daughter Everly, 12, together. They announced their split in April 2018, six months prior to Tatum’s first reported link to Jessie.
