In a playful Instagram post on Tuesday, Inka Williams, 26, shared a series of throwback photos from her boyfriend Channing Tatum’s early modeling career. One image showed the now-45-year-old star strutting down a runway in a fur-trimmed leather coat, wearing nothing underneath and revealing his sculpted chest. Over the photo, Williams jokingly wrote, “My mans is actually ICONIC. Someone pls send help,” adding drooling and heart-eyes emojis.
Another black-and-white snapshot captured a younger Tatum in a relaxed, oversized long-sleeved shirt with headphones resting around his neck. Williams gushed in the caption, writing, “Wow, did I die and go to heaven?”
The lighthearted tribute comes more than a year into the couple’s relationship. Tatum was previously engaged to actress Zoë Kravitz, but the pair ended their engagement in late 2024. Rumors of his romance with Williams first began circulating in January 2025 when the two were spotted together at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel, before later confirming their relationship publicly.
The couple made their red carpet debut in Los Angeles last September at the premiere of the anime film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle. Williams had already shown her affection earlier in the year when she posted a heartfelt birthday tribute to Tatum in April, calling him the “handsomest, kindest, funniest” person and thanking him for making life “beautiful and fun.”
Tatum later returned the love on Williams’ birthday in September, sharing a series of affectionate photos and videos and writing, “Happiest day of birth to my RIDER! Love you so.” One post included a black-and-white photo of him kissing her on the cheek, while another showed her diving into the ocean, accompanied by the caption: “Love you stoopid.”
According to a source who spoke with People in March 2025, the couple met through mutual friends. “She’s great,” the insider said, adding that although Williams is younger, she “seems older” and “makes him happy.” Tatum was previously married to actress Jenna Dewan from 2009 to 2019, and the former couple share a 12-year-old daughter, Everly.
Just last week, Williams — who is Australian — looked back fondly on a recent getaway to Bali with Tatum, sharing photos from their stay at the Bambu Indah treehouse resort. Alongside the images, she wrote that she would happily wake up there on a rainy day “any day,” adding that the trip was filled with “such special moments” spent with the people she loves most.
