The 4 Guys Who’ve Won Zoë Kravitz’s Heart Over the Years
Leading lady Zoë Kravitz has had our attention for years now. Whether she’s captivating audiences on the big screen – like as Catwoman in 2022’s “The Batman,” opposite Robert Pattinson‘s titular character – or piquing interest with her personal life, fans have always been a bit curious about what’s going on in Kravitz’s world. Her relationship with Channing Tatum has fans tuned in, and this naturally led some to wonder about the rest of Kravitz’s love life.
When her movie with Pattinson came out, many quickly hopped on the Kravitz-Pattinson fan ship. Alas, the actors didn’t have romantic chemistry off set, although it wouldn’t have been Kravitz’s first time getting cozy with a costar.
Earlier in her career, Kravitz was rumored to be romantically linked to her “Beware the Gonzo” costar Ezra Miller, per the New York Daily News. However, it was never confirmed by Kravitz or Miller whether that relationship was a casual fling or just close friends hanging out. Kravitz was also rumored to have been an item with Drake, but she denied this speculation during a June 2017 appearance on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” stating, “We are very good friends.”
Contrary to other speculation, Kravitz has only been in a couple of serious public relationships. One, of course, was her 19-month marriage to Karl Glusman. Her current romance with Tatum came to light in August 2021, and they apparently took things to the next level recently (but more on that ahead).

Ben Foster: 2007-2008
Kravitz and Ben Foster never confirmed the status of their relationship, but the two were photographed together multiple times between 2007 and 2008. It’s likely they connected when they filmed the 2008 movie “Birds of America,” which they both starred in. According to a 2008 Just Jared report, Kravitz and Foster were photographed together at Madonna‘s benefit bazaar and were allegedly seen packing on the PDA at the LAX airport in January 2008, hinting at a possible relationship. However, nothing was ever confirmed from either party, and the two eventually stopped making public appearances together.
Penn Badgley: 2011-2013
Kravitz and “You” star Penn Badgley first sparked romance rumors back in the summer of 2011, per Us Weekly, which also reported that the couple shared an apartment together in New York City. For a majority of their relationship, the actors kept things under wraps.
However, in April 2013, Badgley told Movie Line that he was “falling madly in love in a way that was changing me and opening me up.” Later on in the interview, Badgley shared that he’s forever grateful for “Gossip Girl” because “it also put me in New York City so I could meet Zoe.” Two months later, Us Weekly reported that the couple had gone their separate ways.
Karl Glusman: 2016-2020
Kravitz was taking a break from “serious” dating when she met Karl Glusman. They dated on the down-low for about two years before Glusman popped the big question in their living room in early 2018. The couple secretly tied the knot in May 2019 and publicly celebrated their nuptials with a lavish ceremony and reception in Paris on June 29, 2019.
“I feel I’ve known him my entire life,” Kravitz told Dax Shepard while appearing on his podcast, “Armchair Expert,” in May 2020. “He’s just one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. He’s one of the most honest people I’ve ever met and I feel like I’ve known him since I was a kid, even though I haven’t. There’s this connection where it’s like we’ve always known each other, we’ve always lived together.”
In December 2020, their love story came to an abrupt end after Kravitz filed for divorce. “Karl’s an incredible human being,” Kravitz told Elle in her March 2022 cover story. “It really is less about him and more about me learning how to ask myself questions about who I am and still learning who I am, and that being okay. That’s the journey I’m on right now.” Their divorce was finalized in August 2021.
Channing Tatum: August 2021-Present
Kravitz and Channing Tatum first crossed paths in 2017 when they voiced characters in “The Lego Batman Movie.” However, it wasn’t until August 2021 that they broke the internet by being photographed galavanting hand in hand around New York City. That same month, a source confirmed the pair’s romantic connection to Us Weekly, revealing that the two grew close while working on Kravitz’s directorial debut, “P*ssy Island,” in which Tatum has a leading role. “They both thought the other was cool, fun and attractive, but never acted on it because they were never single,” said an insider, who also noted that “things turned romantic fast.”
A few weeks after the report, the couple sent a loud message when they were spotted together at the 2021 Met Gala. That October, the pair celebrated their first Halloween together, dressing up as characters from 1976’s “Taxi Driver,” per Us Weekly.
By early 2022, the couple still hadn’t publicly confirmed their relationship. But Kravitz acknowledged her connection to Tatum for the very first time in her March 2022 cover story for Elle, saying quite simply, “I’m happy.” Finally, in her November 2022 GQ interview, the “Batman” star finally shared more details about their romance.
“He’s just a wonderful human,” she said. “He makes me laugh and we both really love art and talking about art and the exploration of why we do what we do. We love to watch a film and break it down and talk about it and challenge each other.” On the set of “P*ssy Island,” Kravitz said, Tatum “really was my protector and it was really wonderful and sweet.” As far as why the two kept their relationship under wraps for so long, she explained: “You want to keep it sacred and private as long as you can. So that you don’t have to even think about what the world thinks about it.”
Kravitz and Tatum kicked their romance up a notch in October 2023, when People reported that sources said the two got engaged. It seems Kravitz subtly teased the big news when the couple were seen leaving a Halloween party on Oct. 28, where photographers snapped photos of the actor secretly wearing a sizable ring on that finger. At this time, Tatum and Kravitz have not yet commented on the engagement report.
