Channing Tatum and his new girlfriend packed on the PDA while on vacation.

The 45-year-old "Roofman" actor and his girlfriend, Inka Williams, 26, could not keep their hands off one another as they were photographed on vacation in Costa Rica.

In the photos, the couple can be seen walking hand in hand on the shore, and also enjoying a dip in the ocean together. Tatum was sporting a gray hooded sweatshirt and black shorts, while Williams was photographed in a black bikini with white straps.

Other photos show them on the sand with their arms around each other and sharing a kiss, with Tatum picking her up and holding her over his head at one point.

Tatum and Williams were first linked in February 2025 and made their relationship Instagram official two months later in April, with Williams posting a birthday tribute to Tatum. They then made their red carpet debut in September when they attended the premiere of "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" along with his daughter, Everly, 12.

The two were previously photographed showing PDA at the premiere of Tatum's latest film, "Roofman." Williams opted for a black dress with a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit for the premiere, which she paired with gold jewelry.

Prior to dating Williams, Tatum was in a relationship with Jesse J., Zoë Kravitz and Jenna Dewan, who he shares his daughter with.

Kravitz and Tatum were together for three years – announcing their engagement in 2023 – before ultimately going their separate ways in October 2024.

His longest relationship in the public eye was with Dewan, who he met in 2006 on the set of the movie, "Step-Up." The two played an on-screen couple, with the chemistry bleeding into their real-life, as the two went on to get married in July 2009.

"I knew instantly that we had chemistry, and it wasn't just going to be a 'hey, what's up' [hookup]," Tatum told Howard Stern in 2015 while on "The Howard Stern Show."

The two were together for 12 years, and welcomed a child together, before announcing their separation in April 2018 with an Instagram post. In the post, the couple shared that while they still love each other, "love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now."

Following their announcement, Tatum discussed their divorce in a 2023 Vanity Fair interview, in which he called the whole process "super scary and terrifying," adding that "your life turns on its axis" during a divorce, and that it's as if "this whole plan that you had literally turns into sand and goes through your fingers."

"When you're parents, you really understand [the] differences between the two of you," he added. "Because it is screaming at you all day long. How you parent differently, how you look at the world, how you go through the world."
