Channing Tatum & His Girlfriend Inka Williams Have Quite The Age Gap

In September 2025, Channing Tatum and his girlfriend Inka Williams made their red-carpet debut as a couple. Joined by Tatum's daughter, Everly, and other guests, the pair stepped out together at the Hollywood premiere of the anime film "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle," to which Tatum lends his voice. But if there's one thing that got people talking more than the star's anime debut, it was the sizable age gap between the "21 Jump Street" alum and his new partner.

Interestingly enough, the "Demon Slayer" premiere actually fell on Williams' 26th birthday. That makes the Australian-born model 19 years younger than her actor beau, who celebrated his 45th birthday in April 2025. Naturally, a number of netizens took the opportunity to poke fun at this, with one X user writing, "His girlfriend looks like she's one of his daughter's friends." These types of remarks aren't particularly surprising, as people tend to have very strong opinions about relationships with significant age differences. 

This is not Tatum's first age-gap relationship. He and "Caught Stealing" actor Zoë Kravitz dated from 2021 until 2024, and she is 9 years younger than him. To be fair, there were some weird things about Tatum's relationship with Zoë Kravitz as well, and there were some signs that their engagement was never meant to last. And then there's the fact that Tatum's split from ex-wife Jenna Dewan was among the most drawn-out divorces in Hollywood history. Tatum and Dewan were both born in 1980, but that didn't matter in the end. In contrast, Tatum and Williams are in a pretty good spot, according to those with knowledge of their relationship.

Channing Tatum and Inka Williams were first spotted together in February 2025, and officially hard-launched their relationship on social media in April. In the interim, a source familiar with the couple spoke to People, shedding some light on how the two met and implying that the pair's age gap wasn't that big of a deal. "They met through friends. She's great," the insider said in March 2025, adding, "She has her own life. She's young, but seems older." The source further claimed that things seemed to be going rather well between Tatum and Williams, explaining, "Channing's doing well. [Inka] makes him happy." 

Following the "Demon Slayer" premiere in September 2025, another source told People that Tatum did wait a while to introduce Williams to his daughter, Everly, whom he shares with ex-wife Jenna Dewan. This, the insider explained, was because Tatum tends to be protective of Everly, perhaps implying that he didn't want her to meet his new girlfriend until he was sure it was serious. However, the source added that Williams and Everly "get along great now."
