The star-studded Los Angeles premiere of Zoee Kravitz's directorial debut, 'Blink Twice,' was a night to remember, marking the red carpet debut of the ultra-private couple, Zoe and Channing Tatum.

AceShowbiz - The suspense was high, but the anticipation was worth it as Zoe Kravitz and her fiance Channing Tatum finally walked the red carpet together. The couple, who reportedly got engaged in October 2023, posed for romantic photos, dressed in chic black outfits, at the DGA Theater Complex for the premiere of "Blink Twice" on August 8.
Zoë looked stunning in a silk black Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello cut-out dress while Channing complemented her in a black suit jacket over a white collared shirt.
The two first met while working on "Blink Twice," where Kravitz wrote and directed the project, and Tatum stars as Slater King, a tech billionaire who owns a hedonistic private island. "[He was the one] I thought of when I wrote this character," Kravitz shared with Deadline.
The film also features performances from Naomi Ackie, Geena Davis, Haley Joel Osment, and Christian Slater.
Kravitz could not hold back her emotions as she thanked Tatum during her heartfelt speech. "From producing to performing to the pep talks to holding my head or my feet while I cried on the bathroom floor because I thought I f***ed it all up, thank you for letting me be a complete OCD psycho control freak. Thank you for your patience," she expressed, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"Making this film with you has been an awfully great adventure. Thank you for trusting me to female-direct you. It's really very cool to get to make a movie, but when you get to do it with the love of your life, it's even cooler."
The duo, who began dating in 2021, have expressed their creative chemistry openly. Tatum told People earlier this year, "This is what I'll say about creating with someone that you are with or love: I suggest it. If you are thinking about having a kid or if you're thinking about getting married, go find the hardest possible creative project with your partner."
Echoing this sentiment, Kravitz told GQ last November, "We love to watch a film and break it down and talk about it and challenge each other."
Their relationship also has the blessing of Kravitz's famous father, Lenny Kravitz, who shared on BBC Radio 2's Zoe Ball and Friends, "He's a really great guy. He was raised well... And so, he's become part of the family quite quickly. He fits and they're in love." He also hinted that a wedding is set for the next year.
"Blink Twice" hits theaters on August 23, promising to be a thrilling cinematic ride, with a story that sees Naomi Ackie's character Frida uncovering the dark secrets of Slater King's island. The trailer is already out, offering a glimpse into the intense and mysterious world Kravitz has crafted in her directorial debut.
