Channing Tatum introduced the world to his latest co-star off-screen, girlfriend Inka Williams, during the 'Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle' premiere. But it wasn’t just a date night. The actor also brought along his 12-year-old daughter Everly, making the occasion a rare and public family moment.
The appearance marked a significant step in Tatum and Williams’ relationship, which first sparked headlines earlier this year. Though they’ve been linked since February, Tuesday, September 9, officially marked their red carpet debut as a couple.
In matching elegance, the trio arrived at TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. Tatum opted for a laid-back navy suit and crisp white T-shirt, while Williams shone in a strapless black gown paired with jeweled earrings and a bold berry lip.
Everly stood between them in a lavender ruffled dress. They posed alongside one of Everly’s friends, completing the sweet group dynamic. The event held extra meaning for Tatum and his daughter, who share a love for the Demon Slayer franchise.
"It’s very important to us,” Tatum shared with People, voicing Keizo in the English-language version of the anime, scored him, as he put it, some serious “cool dad points.” A rep had previously confirmed that Tatum discovered the series while watching it with Everly, a bond that now made its way to the red carpet.
Earlier that same day, Tatum also used Instagram to wish Williams a happy 26th birthday. "Happiest day of birth to my RIDER! Love you so," he captioned a video of them riding dirt bikes on the beach. Another post showed a black-and-white photo of Tatum kissing Williams on the cheek.
Back in April, Williams made their relationship Instagram-official when she posted a photo collage in honor of Tatum's 45th birthday. “Happy life to the handsomest, kindest, funniest, stoopidest most gorgeous human ever !!! Merci for making life beautiful and fun,” she wrote.
The romance followed Tatum’s split from ex-fiancée Zoë Kravitz in October 2024. He was previously married to actress Jenna Dewan, Everly’s mother, with whom he finalized a divorce in September 2024.
“It’s in the past. But it’s really tough not to have your daughter half the time,” Tatum told Variety. “Jenna and I are good now, but it was a painful break to have that fall apart, especially being so young.”
Despite being 19 years younger, Williams has been described by insiders as “young, but seems older.” A source close to the couple told People. “They met through friends. She’s great. She has her own life.”
The model who stole Channing's heart:
Williams, born in Melbourne and raised in Bali, is signed with IMG Models and is also the founder of the fashion brand 'She Is I,' inspired by her mother’s vintage wardrobe. “I always knew one day I would try my best to recreate those timeless pieces,” she shared on the brand’s website.
Modeling came first for Williams, who has appeared in campaigns for Bonds and covers for Vogue Arabia, Elle Australia, and Harper’s Bazaar Indonesia. In interviews, she’s acknowledged the fashion industry’s challenges but credited it for her personal growth.
A move to London eventually followed. “I really miss the ocean,” Williams told Grazia about relocating from Bali. “But it’s a really good experience.” While she’s been building a career abroad, her connection with Tatum has become a centerpiece of her public profile.
