A body language expert has revealed that Channing Tatum put in “very little effort” during his latest red carpet appearance with Zoë Kravitz.
The Magic Mike star, 44, and the Batman actress, 35, ended their engagement just a year after they made plans to get married.
Now, expert Judi James analyzed the couple’s interactions since they were last photographed together and sensed some tension between the pair.
The two stars made their last red carpet appearance together in August at the European premiere of Blink Twice.
Judi said: “It’s easy to be smart in hindsight when it comes to predicting a split and some of this couple’s social media posts have made them look incredibly cute, close and trusting together.”
A body language expert has revealed that Channing Tatum put in “very little effort” during his latest red carpet appearance with Zoë Kravitz.
The two stars made their last red carpet appearance together in August at the European premiere of Blink Twice.
“However, this red carpet appearance seems to raise some red flags from her body language.
“When celebrity couples are set to split up but have a movie to promote the result, there are often excessive rituals involving mutual smiling and affection performed to cover up.
“But Channing seems to be making very little effort to deny or gloss over any problems here, standing and posing with a rather stern expression and one hand stuck in his pocket.
Judi noted that at one point, Zoe flashed a smile at Channing to try to prompt him to project the “happy, loving couple” look.
She explained: “It’s Zoe who seems to be trying to project some suggestion that they are a loving couple, using what looks like a ‘ping’ smile directed at him as a way of trying to prompt him to remember to smile too.
‘When he looks away, his face seems to fall too. There is a lack of what appears to be a synchronicity of intention, whether to portray happy faces or to allow oneself to signal a breakup. Added to the sweet social media posts, there’s a hint that their split might have come as a surprise to at least one of them.
The couple had begun dating after Channing starred in Zoë’s directorial debut, the thriller Blink Twice.

The former couple was last photographed together on Channing’s Instagram page in a Sept. 3 post, which showed Zoë apparently sleeping on her then-fiancé’s shirtless chest while he took a selfie of the two.
Representatives for both actors have yet to comment on the reported breakup.
The split came as a particular shock to the couple, as not only were they engaged, but Channing had been spotted with fresh ink of Zoë’s initials on the back of his hand in September.

Zoë and Channing could be in for an awkward 2025, as Deadline reported on Tuesday that they had both been added to the cast of the upcoming alien invasion comedy Alpha Gang.
Cate Blanchett had already been announced as star and producer of the film, directed by the Zellner brothers, but Channing and Zoë now complete the cast, along with Dave Bautista, Riley Keough, Steven Yeun and French star Léa Seydoux.
The comedy follows a group of invading aliens disguised as humans and dressed to look like members of a 1950s motorcycle gang, although their attempts to conquer the planet are threatened when they begin to develop human emotions and consciousness.

Channing and Zoë first sparked romance rumors in August 2021, when he was seen riding around New York on a bike while she joined him on foot.
The rumors reached a fever pitch in September of that year, when the two were seen leaving the Met Gala together in Manhattan, although they did not walk the red carpet together that same night.
