There's a new celebrity couple on the lookout! Actors Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz are rumored to be "more than friends" after being spotted canoodling on a romantic bike ride.
Both actors were brought together by the upcoming movie Pussy Island, which Kravitz and Tatum star in. While little is known about Pussy Island, it will serve as Kravitz's directorial debut. Back in June, Deadline described the movie as a thriller and shared its plot. The outlet wrote that Kravitz will play the character Frida, who is described as "a young, clever, Los Angeles cocktail waitress." Channing joins the cast as the suspected love interest, Slater King, a "philanthropist and tech mogul."
The description eerily continues with: "When she skillfully maneuvers her way into King’s inner circle and ultimately an intimate gathering on his private island, she is ready for a journey of a lifetime. Despite the epic setting, beautiful people, ever-flowing champagne and late-night dance parties, Frida can sense that there’s more to this island than meets the eye. Something she can’t quite put her finger on. Something terrifying."
While dating rumors have surrounded the two newly single stars for months, the two insist that there is no budding romance between them. In January, it was reported that they are not dating. A source told People Magazine, "They're working together on an upcoming project and it's not true that they're dating."
Kravitz and Tatum will need to work hard to convince fans and reporters otherwise, as the two seemed to be sharing a romantic bike ride in New York City yesterday (August 18). In the photos, the 32-year-old actor had her arms wrapped around Tatum's shoulders while she stood on the back of his black BMX bike. They were also photographed laughing in each other's company and looking pensive, in deep thought.
Tweeting the images, one fan wrote, "MFs wishing they were either Channing Tatum or Zoë Kravitz rn."
Another excitedly expressed, "Channing Tatum & Zoe Kravitz dating is the best news I’ve had today."
"People don't ride a bike like that unless they're dating," added a third fan who appears confident in their speculation.
However, not everybody is convinced. Many fans are still hopeful that Tatum will rekindle his relationship with singer Jessie J. After on-and-off dating for two years, from 2018-2020, Jessie J confirmed her single status with a dreaded Instagram post.
One fan mourned their past relationship, amid this recent update. Tweeting a row of sad emojis, they wrote, "I still have not turned the page on Jessie J and Channing Tatum."
