Channing Tatum has taken to the red carpet with his girlfriend for the first time, who is 19 years his junior.
Tatum, 45, and his girlfriend, 26-year-old Inka Williams, were attending the premiere of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle.
The actor looked casual yet stylish in a blue suit paired with a white T-shirt, bringing along a very special guest: his 12-year-old daughter, Everly, whom he shares with ex-wife Jenna Dewan.
Everly posed on the red carpet, wearing a lavender strapless dress adorned with dramatic ruffles.
The young teen, who bears a striking resemblance to her famous father, beamed alongside Williams, 26, who wore a glittering strapless black dress complemented by jewel earrings and a bold burgundy lip.
Channing Tatum and Inka Williams: A Growing Romance
Tatum and Williams’ red carpet appearance comes months after romance rumors first surfaced.
The couple was spotted together at a pre-Oscars party in Los Angeles back in February, just months after Tatum’s breakup with ex-fiancee Zoë Kravitz in October 2024.
A source close to the actor told People in March: “Channing’s doing well. [Inka] makes him happy.”
The insider added that the couple “met through friends” and noted that Williams, despite her age, “has her own life” and “seems older” than her years.
Later that month, Tatum and Williams were spotted enjoying a casual dinner at Santa Monica’s Chez Jay, a dive bar, where they were seen laughing and enjoying each other’s company alongside friends and their pets.
Going Instagram-Official and Celebrating Milestones
The couple made their relationship Instagram-official in April, when Williams shared a shirtless photo of Tatum planting a kiss on her.
The caption, which was a birthday tribute to Tatum, read: “Happy life to the handsomest, kindest, funniest, stoopidest most gorgeous human ever !!! Merci for making life beautiful and fun.”
Their love continued to blossom as they spent time together over the summer, with the pair enjoying a romantic getaway in Venice, Italy.
Tatum also publicly celebrated Williams’ 26th birthday with a heartfelt tribute on Instagram.
Sharing a clip of them riding a dirt bike at the beach, he wrote: “Happiest day of birth to my RIDER! Love you so.” He followed up with a black-and-white photo of himself kissing Williams on the cheek.
Tatum Reflects on Co-Parenting with Ex-Wife Jenna Dewan
As Tatum embarks on a new chapter in his personal life with Williams, he has also opened up about his past relationship with ex-wife Jenna Dewan.
The former couple, who married in 2009 and split in 2018, finalized their divorce in September 2024 after a lengthy legal battle.
In an interview with Variety on September 2, Tatum reflected on the emotional toll of co-parenting. “It’s in the past. But it’s really tough not to have your daughter half the time,” he said.
“I wish I could just have [Everly] all the time. Jenna and I are good now, but it was a painful break to have that fall apart, especially being so young.”
