Zoë Kravitz Holds Hands With Her Rumored New Lover, and Fans Can't Help but Compare Him to Her Ex-Fiancé, Channing Tatum — Photos

The "High Fidelity" star was seen strolling through Rome with a familiar face by her side, and now a quiet moment abroad has turned into the internet's latest obsession.

Zoë Kravitz and a former One Direction band member set social media ablaze after they were spotted walking hand-in-hand through the romantic streets of Rome, sparking dating rumors.

The unexpected pairing quickly became a hot topic online, with some comparing the singer to Kravitz's former fiancé, Channing Tatum.

Passersby reportedly caught sight of the pair strolling through the cobblestone alleys of Italy's capital, both looking effortlessly stylish in coordinating outerwear.

Kravitz, 37, wore a long gray coat layered over a dark top and light trousers, finishing the look with matching black sunglasses and a headscarf.

The man beside the actress is Harry Styles, 31, who echoed her vibe in a beige trench, dark knitwear, navy trousers, and a beanie. A bright yellow tote slung over his shoulder added a pop of color to his otherwise muted look.

Their fashionable outing and physical closeness have only intensified speculation about their relationship — especially as they continue to be seen together in public.

Online reactions came fast, with comparisons to Kravitz's reported split from the "Magic Mike" actor. On Facebook, a viewer typed, "From Channing to harry [sic] wow." Another posted, "Wait…I thought she was with Channing 😢," while someone else simply reacted, "Him!!?"

Meanwhile, on Instagram, a supporter wrote, "Didn't see this pair coming, but they look so good together. They kinda just make sense. This is Lenny’s daughter after all." Another added, "Better than the last lol." A separate viewer expressed confusion, "I'm so lost isn't she with channing ? Xx [sic]"

Others quickly showed approval and declared, "To tell you the truth I love Harry Styles better than Channing 😍." Another stated, "I kinda of like them togather, they look sweet. I hope they feel for each other the way they look togather [sic]."

Styles and Kravitz's Italian stroll came more than a year after it was officially confirmed that she and Tatum had ended their engagement following three years together.

As reported in October 2024, news of the split unleashed a wave of reaction, with some questioning whether the pair were ever truly compatible, while others expressed genuine heartbreak.

"They always looked like they were forcing the relationship. Looked weird together. Both beautiful people, jst not together, [sic]" one user commented.

Another added, "Dating co-stars never [works] out. Once production is over, it's back to real life."

A few fans admitted they never quite understood the match, with one writing, "I always thought they looked awkward together."

Others pointed to the age gap as a possible factor, as one remarked, "No surprise there. They were an odd couple & she's too young for him."

For some, the breakup came as no surprise, with one person commenting, "I knew it would not last! Committed relationships in Hollywood are almost nonexistent!"

A fan shared similar doubts, "I honestly thought this relationship was weird from the beginning. They seem like completely different people with completely different personalities."

Not everyone expected this outcome, however, as one user confessed, "This one I find surprisingly [sic] actually. I thought they would work out."

Several users expressed heartbreak after seeing the couple's chemistry in "Blink Twice."

"I didn't understand this relationship but after seeing them together in blink twice, the love was like no other. This is heartbreaking," one fan said.

Another added, "Their movie, Blink Twice, was amazing. So sad, they were such a dynamic duo."

Others praised the couple's physical appeal, with one commenting, "They were such an attractive couple. I really thought they'd last."

A pragmatic fan pointed out, "Oh wow! So sad but happens. Better that it happened during engagement instead of after they are married. Wishing them both all of the best. [sic]"

The announcement of their split comes after recent sightings where Kravitz appeared without her engagement ring, including a public outing with "Big Little Lies" co-star Shailene Woodley.

Despite their separation, Tatum and Kravitz were still seen together in early October 2024, when he joined her in New York City’s Red Hook neighborhood to attend a play by her "Blink Twice" co-star Levon Hawke.

Back in August last year, Kravitz gushed about the creative connection she shared with Tatum, calling "art" their "love language" and lighting up over their shared passion for creativity.

Tatum had reflected on the depth of working alongside a romantic partner in July 2024, "This is what I'll say about creating with someone that you are with or love: I suggest it."

He added, "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."

He further described their working relationship as "unbelievable," emphasizing the value of having a partner who could share in solving challenges.

On October 29, 2024, a news source announced that both Tatum and Kravitz were part of the cast of the then-upcoming alien invasion comedy "Alpha Gang," which was set to star and be produced by Cate Blanchett.

Tatum and Kravitz first sparked engagement rumors in late October 2023, when they were seen leaving a Halloween party together.

Kravitz was dressed as Rosemary Woodhouse from "Rosemary's Baby," showing off what appeared to be an engagement ring.

The news was later confirmed, marking what had seemed like a major turning point in their relationship — one that began when they first crossed paths during the casting of Kravitz's directorial debut, "Pussy Island."

In interviews, Kravitz praised Tatum as "just a wonderful human," explaining that he not only made her laugh but also shared her love for art and exploring its deeper meaning.

"We love to watch a film and break it down and talk about it and challenge each other," the "Batman" actress shared in a November 2022 interview.

Their collaboration seemed to cement their bond, with Tatum serving as a "protector" for Kravitz on set, stepping in to support her during stressful moments.

Tatum's devotion to Kravitz showed once more in September 2024, when he shared a heartfelt tribute to her on social media — a post that spoke volumes.

In a since-deleted Instagram post, he shared a candid photo of Kravitz with her head on his chest, capturing an intimate moment of her resting, likely after a demanding day of work on "Blink Twice."

Accompanying the image, Tatum reportedly wrote, "This little sweet...Every time I wondered if she'd break…. She just kept going…I'm so proud to stand ten toes down for her, this film and everyone in it."

"Thank you for finding me and seeing me. I got you forever. Me and you back to back against it all. I'll never blink. Let's go," concluded the "Step Up" alum.

The couple's relationship also appeared to have the full support of Kravitz's father, Lenny Kravitz.

During an appearance on "Zoe Ball and Friends" in May 2024, the singer spoke highly of Tatum, calling him a "really great guy" who was "raised well" and "charming."

He shared that Tatum had quickly become a part of their family and even hinted at a wedding planned for the following year, adding, "He fits and they're in love."

While their relationship initially seemed promising, with both support and admiration from those close to them, Channing Tatum and Zöe Kravitz have now chosen separate paths, marking the end of a high-profile Hollywood romance.
