Channing Tatum’s dating history: His girlfriends and exes before engagement to Zoë Kravitz

Channing Tatum is a relationship guy.

The “Magic Mike” star has been in the spotlight for almost two decades and has only dated a few women.

“Relationships are hard for me. Even though I am a bit of a monogamist,” he told Vanity Fair in 2023.

“In business, I have no real fear of anything being destroyed,” he explained. “But heart things, when it comes to people I love, I have a really hard time. I end up trying too hard, you know?”

Here’s everything to know about his ex-wife, ex-girlfriend and current fiancée.

Tatum met Jenna Dewan on the set of “Step Up” in 2006.

The pair, who starred as love interests in the dance flick, had instant chemistry and quickly began dating.

After two years together, in September 2008, the actor popped the question while they were vacationing in Hawaii.

The former couple tied the knot in a private Malibu ceremony the following year, and welcomed their daughter, Everly Tatum, in 2013.

The couple were seemingly one of the happiest duos in Hollywood, until they shocked fans with a joint split announcement in 2018.

Dewan eventually filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” 

“We fought for it for a really long time,” the “Dear John” actor told Vanity Fair years later.

“We both sort of knew that we had sort of grown apart,” Tatum went on. “Your life just turns on its axis. This whole plan that you had literally just turns into sand and goes through your fingers, and you’re just like, ‘Oh, s–t. What now?'”

As for their daughter, Tatum and Dewan see “eye-to-eye” when it comes to parenting, he told People in 2022.

The “Come Dance With Me” judge has since moved on with actor Steve Kazee, and the pair share son Callum.

In the wake of his divorce, the actor began dating British musician Jessie J.

In late 2018, he was spotted at “The Voice” judge’s concerts in Seattle and Salt Lake City, seemingly confirming romance rumors.

The “Domino” hitmaker later revealed the pair kept their romance under wraps before fans discovered it.

“The reason we kept it a secret for as long as we could was because we wanted to really enjoy it without it being magnified into something that it wasn’t yet,” she told The Sun in 2019.

“You don’t go on a date with a guy twice for dinner then fall in love … We weren’t experiencing love or a relationship in the way that we deserved because we had to hide and I don’t want to live like that.”

The Grammy nominee added, “I decide when I want to talk about it and when I don’t. I decide when I want to post about him on Instagram and I don’t.”

Jessie and Tatum initially called it quits in December 2019 after one year together.

However, the following month they reunited in Los Angeles and stepped out at a Grammys afterparty together.

They split for the second, and final, time in April 2020.

“Channing and Jessie have different priorities and focuses that don’t really align,” a source told People at the time.

“They had a fun relationship but it just didn’t work out. Channing needs to be in LA a lot so he can spend time with Everly. Jessie prefers England, they are still friendly though.

“It’s totally amicable. They cared enough about each other to try again but realized it was better to move on.”

Zoë Kravitz
