Why Channing Tatum and Zoe Kravitz Split: They’re ‘From Different Worlds’ and It ‘Wasn’t Meant to Be’

Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz have called off their engagement. The pair were last spotted together at a play in NYC on October 6, but in recent weeks, Zoë, 35, had been out and about without her ring from 44-year-old Channing.

“They had a good time together and want to remain friends,” an insider exclusively tells In Touch. The duo seemed thrilled to work together in Blink Twice, Zoë’s directorial debut, which starred Channing. “Art is our love language,” she said at the film’s August 23 premiere.

That may have been part of the problem. As the Alabama-born Channing joked, his fiancée warned him, “‘I don’t do activities. I don’t go hiking. I just love movies.’”

Says the insider: “She’s an artist and a poet, and Channing is just a small-town Southern guy who doesn’t want to get so deep in a conversation.”

The daughter of Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz, Zoë was previously wed to Karl Glusman, while Channing shares a daughter with ex-wife Jenna Dewan. (They’re still battling over his Magic Mike profits.)

“Channing and Zoë are from different worlds,” says the insider. “In the beginning, that was an attraction — and the relationship progressed quickly, perhaps too quickly. It just wasn’t meant to be.”
