Zoe Kravitz thanked her fiancé Channing Tatum for letting her be a “psycho control freak” director.


The couple is believed to have met when Tatum — signed up to star in movie Blink Twice, which is directed by Kravitz — and at the film’s Los Angeles premiere on Thursday, Aug. 8, she thanked her leading man for helping her through the difficult process as she stepped behind the camera to direct for the first time.


“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 ODC psycho control freak.

“Thank you for your patience. 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,” Kravitz said, while reading a note to the film’s crew.


“Thank you for the time it took to make this movie what we dreamed it could be. All of you worked harder than you were being paid to work.

“All of you lost sleep and probably sanity over this project. All of you received a number of weird fever-dream text messages from me at strange hours of the night. But none of you rolled your eyes and called me a b—-, at least to my face, when I said, ‘We’re not there yet.’ All of you said, ‘Yes, let’s keep going, let’s get there,’ and we did,” Kravitz said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Kravitz and Tatum are believed to have become engaged in October 2023 after two years of dating after Kravitz was seen showing off a massive ring on her left hand.

Her rocker dad, Lenny Kravitz, later confirmed the news and revealed his daughter is planning to walk down the aisle in 2025.

“They’re in love. We’re going to have a wedding next year,” Lenny Kravitz said on the “Zoe Ball and Friends” podcast.

During the podcast, Lenny Kravitz expressed his admiration for Magic Mike star Tatum and insisted he’s become part of the family.

“He’s a really great guy. He was raised well. So, you know, he’s got manners. He’s charming. He’s a soulful human being. And so, he’s become part of the family quite quickly,” Lenny Kravitz said.
