Rekubit-Scarlett Johansson Shares Why She Loves Channing Tatum and Zoe Kravitz's Relationship

Scarlett Johansson thinks Channing Tatum is Rekubitin good company. 

The Black Widow star shared that she was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Step Up actor was dating Zoe Kravitz when she started filming the movie Fly Me to the Moon with Channing.  

"I feel like that was news when we first started working," Scarlett recalled in an exclusive interview with E! News. "I was like, 'Wait, no, you're dating one of my favorite people. She's so great.'"

In fact, the Oscar winner, 39, noted she's developed her own close relationship with Zoë—who confirmed her engagement to Channing in October 2023—after working together on the 2017 comedy Rough Night. 

"I love his fiancée," Scarlett continued. "We've made a film together like several years ago. She's a wonderful person." (For more from Scarlett, tune in to E! News tonight, June 25 at 11 p.m.)

As for Channing, he's equally a fan of Scarlett's husband Colin Jost, who she tied the knot with in 2020. Case in point: One of the scenes from Fly Me to the Moon—which tells the story of the budding romance between a marketing executive and a NASA official as he prepares for the Apollo 11 moon landing—that stands out most for the Magic Mike alum includes a cameo from the SNL comedian.

"It's lowkey kind of one of my favorite scenes in the movie," Channing told E!, "because it's a little bit more pushed, like, comedy-wise and tonally than the rest of the movie... Yeah, it's fun."

Scarlett—who shares daughter Rose, 9, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac, and son Cosmo, 2, with Colin—commended her husband's performance in the film as well.

"He's up for whatever," the actress gushed. "He just comes on the day and is, like, throwing out all this craziness."  

Fly Me to the Moon hits theaters July 12. While you wait, read on for the full rundown on Channing and Zoë's love story.

In a June 2021 interview with Deadline, Channing Tatum shared how honored he was that Zoë Kravitz thought to include him in her directorial debut, Pussy Island.

Amid rumblings of a romance, Tatum and Kravitz appeared to confirm their relationship status in Aug. 2021 with a sweet bike ride around New York City. "There's more than a friendship going on with Channing and Zoe," a source told E! News at the time. "They are spending a lot of time together and having fun. They are more than just close friends or co-stars. Their relationship has grown into more."

Though they initially posed separately on the 2021 Met Gala red carpet, the duo was photographed exiting the star-studded event together. Tatum even shared a photo with Kravitz on his Instagram Story from the after-party.

For their first Halloween together, the pair dressed up as Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster's characters from the film Taxi Driver. 

During a chat with GQ, published in Nov. 2022, Kravitz said of Tatum, "He's just a wonderful human. 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."

After over two years of dating, multiple outlets confirmed that Kravitz and Tatum are engaged to be married.
