Channing Tatum has shared an ambiguous poem on social media following the news that his ex-fiancée Zoë Kravitz is reportedly engaged to Harry Styles.
The 21 Jump Street actor, 46, and The Batman actress, 37, called off their engagement and broke up after three years of dating in October 2024, a year after he popped the question.
Tatum and Kravitz had started dating in 2021 after they worked together on her directorial debut, the movie Blink Twice.
The actress and the 'Watermelon Sugar' hitmaker, 32, then sparked dating rumours in August 2025, and PEOPLE confirmed this week that the couple are reportedly engaged.

The publication reports that the couple shared their happy news with 'a small circle' of loved ones and that Kravitz has been showing off her glitzy ring to pals.
Speculation of their engagement was first sparked when Kravitz was spotted wearing a huge ring on her finger while kissing Styles in London, in photos published by The Sun on 21 April.
On Monday (27 April), Tatum took to Instagram Story to reshare the cryptic poem by John Roedel with his 17.4 million followers and simply wrote 'read'.
The poem begins with: "My brain and heart divorced / a decade ago / about who was to blame about how big of a mess I have become / Eventually, they couldn't be in the same room together.
"Now my head and heart share custody of me. They blame each other for the state of my life / there's been a lot of yelling—and crying / so, / lately I've been spending a lot of time with my gut / who serves as my unofficial therapist."
The prose goes on to describe how the 'heart is always sad about something that happened yesterday', while the head is 'always worried about something that may happen tomorrow'.
It continues: "My gut smiled and said: / 'in that case, you should stay with your lungs for a while.
"There is only breath / and in that breath, you can rest while your heart and head work out their relationship."
It concludes: "I packed a little bag and walked to the doors of the lungs / before I could even knock, she opened the door with a smile and a gust of wind embraced me, she said / 'what took you so long?'"
While it hasn't been confirmed that the poem is a reaction to Kravitz' reported engagement, news outlets and fans have been speculating.
However, it looks like the celebrity exes are on good terms, as the star has had nothing negative to say about her former fiancé.
When asked how the breakup made her feel about Blink Twice, which was released a few months before they split, Kravitz told Elle Magazine last year: "Not at all. I love this thing that we made together, and I care for him very much. Even when you bring up how great his performance is, it warms my heart to hear that, and I’m so happy that all of it happened. I just feel so grateful that we got to go on that journey together."
She gushed: "He has so much more coming, and I think he’s in a place as an actor where he’s feeling really confident, and people are seeing different sides of him.
"He’s got a lot to offer, so I’m excited for people to keep witnessing that."
Meanwhile, Tatum has since found love with Australian model Inka Williams, 26, with the pair believed to have started dating in early 2025.
Tyla has contacted representatives for Styles, Kravitz, and Tatum for comment.
After working together on Kravitz's directorial debut Pussy Island, later retitled Blink Twice, things turn romantic between the pair.
They're photographed in public riding a motorbike and going shopping together.
Two months later, they're pictured holding hands.
Kravitz said of her relationship with Tatum in a GQ profile: "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 is spotted with an engagement ring after the couple head to a Halloween party, and news of their engagement is confirmed days later.
In a Radio 2 interview, Zoe's dad Lenny Kravitz said the wedding was planned for the following year.
