“He’s simply a beautiful human,” Kravitz said, according to the site. “He makes me laugh, and we both like talking about art and figuring out why we do what we do. We enjoy seeing movies and breaking them down, talking about them, and challenging one another.”
The pair met when Kravitz cast him in her directorial debut, Pussy Island. They apparently clicked right away, and their friendship on stage served as the foundation for their romance. “Whether it was bringing me tea, pouring me a drink, whipping someone into shape, or anything — he was my guardian, and it was really nice and sweet,” Kravitz said. “I think doing something like that jointly is a wonderful test. And we came back stronger.”

The moment made their connection public, which was both a benefit and a curse. “You want to keep it as holy and private as possible,” Kravitz continued. “So that you don’t have to even think about what the world thinks about it.”

According to Us Weekly, on August 19, 2021, fans observed Tatum following many fan accounts, including “kravitzupdate,” “zkluv,” “zoekravitzinc,” and “zoekravitzsource.”
You know what they say: the romantic bike ride comes first, then the Instagram likes.
