Kravitz’s Elle interview isn’t the first time she has praised Tatum since their split.

“Channing was the first person I thought of for Slater King, and I don’t know where that came from,” Kravitz said of Tatum’s tech-billionaire character in the psychological thriller.

And despite the former couple calling off their engagement that October, Kravitz, who met Tatum after casting him as the villainous Slater, stands by her decision. As she told Elle, “For Chan specifically, it was about how exciting it would be to see him do something so different and so surprising, and something that I knew he was so capable of.”

Prior to their breakup, the two openly expressed their love for one another, especially when it came to their shared passion for creativity.

"Art is our love language," Kravitz told PEOPLE at the "Blink Twice" premiere when asked about collaborating with Tatum again in the future. "I think it's what we love, and we love talking about it, and experiencing it, and supporting each other.”

Tatum shared a similar sentiment in July 2024, telling PEOPLE that he highly recommends creating alongside a partner. “This is what I'll say about creating with someone that you are with or love. I suggest it,” he said. “If you are thinking about having a kid or if you're thinking about getting married, go find the hardest possible creative project with your partner.”

He added, “When you can look across the room or the set and know that you have the best person that is next to you trying to solve problems, and you're really looking to them for answers just as equally as trying to solve them yourself, that is unbelievable.”
