Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz Breakup Repeats a Bizarre Hollywood Trend We Even Saw With Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde
- Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz’s romance began during the filming of 'Blink Twice'.
- Tatum and Kravitz’s breakup mirrors a trend where Hollywood couples fall in love while working together but split after their projects end.
- Many former couples like Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde and Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult contributed to this pattern.
It seems like most Hollywood love stories are as interesting as the films that spark them. People often see unexpected connections and at times, eventual heartbreak as real life takes over. Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz seemed to be the perfect example of love and creative collaboration in this regard.
However, after a high-profile engagement, the couple have now broken up. However, what is unique about their separation is that it seems to follow a peculiar entertainment industry trend that has been going on for years.
Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz End Their Romance
Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz‘s romance started on the sets of the thriller Blink Twice. Kravitz directed and co-wrote the movie, keeping Tatum in mind. She cast Tatum for the role of Slater King in 2021, citing her appreciation of his acting skills and his humility.
At first, they only appeared as professional colleagues with no sign of an intimate affair and kept their relationship discreet. However, by the time Blink Twice was underway, their chemistry was clear, and soon after, they were seen around New York in classic new-couple style.
Soon after, the media identified the two as lovers. By 2022, both Tatum and Kravitz were comfortable talking about each other publicly. Kravitz even acknowledged the support Tatum gave her on set in an interview with GQ. Their relationship grew stronger with time, and according to People, Tatum and Kravitz got engaged in October 2023.
However, their seemingly perfect relationship didn’t last long. Recently, sources told People that the couple has decided to part ways by calling off their engagement. Kravitz was also seen without her engagement ring lately. Interestingly, the ex-couple will be again seen in their upcoming film Alpha Gang.
The breakup leaves many fans wondering whether working together in Blink Twice had pushed them too close too soon. Tatum and Kravitz met through the film, and their relationship ended a few months after Blink Twice was released.
Hollywood’s Bizarre Relationship Pattern
Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz’s breakup seems to follow a pattern where celebs met at work, and fell in love while working together, only to break apart when the work was over. Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde are another couple who also followed this bizarre pattern.
Styles and Wilde began dating in 2020 when Styles was cast in the film Don’t Worry Darling. As the filming began, it was clear that there was some attraction between both, as sources told People that Styles couldn’t stay away and kept visiting Wilde’s trailer.
However, much like Tatum and Kravitz, their romance ended as soon as the movie hit the theaters. At the end of the year 2022, Wilde and Styles decided to part ways. Many believe that different interests and busy schedules are the causes of the couple’s split.
The same can be said about The Kissing Booth, which stars Joey King and Jacob Elordi. Not only did they play the lead roles in the Netflix teen romance, but they also fell in love on set. However, the couple quietly decided to part ways by the time the sequel was released.
Apart from them, this pattern can be seen with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, who got together while filming The Amazing Spider-Man and later ended their relationship after the sequel was released.
Some more examples of couples who went through this pattern are Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder in Edward Scissorhands, Bradley Cooper, and Zoe Saldana in The Words, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson during the Twilight movies, and Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult after they met in X-Men: First Class.
Such instances of on-set romance are not rare in Hollywood. Actors share long hours of intense film shoots, share emotional scenes, and get to know more about each other, which often leads to real connections. However, when all this ends, they end up facing real-life situations, dealing with high-pressure jobs, schedule issues, and media attention, which often take a toll.
