    An insider told People at the time that the 21 Jump Street actor was “doing well” with the Australian model, who “makes him happy.” The pair reportedly met through friends.

    Additionally, the insider said that Channing and Zoë, who were together for three years, “ended things on OK terms.” The Batman actress is now reportedly dating singer Harry Styles.

    The source noted that Inka and Channing’s nearly 20-year age gap didn’t appear to be an issue.

    “She has her own life,” they said of Inka. “She’s young, but seems older.”

    However, netizens had a lot to say about Inka and Channing’s age gap.

    “Oh no, not Channing Tatum! Another middle-aged man dating a woman in her 20’s….” a Facebook user wrote.

    “What could you have in common with someone so much younger? Just ridiculous to me,” said someone else.

    “The gf, at 26, is young enough to be his daughter!” a separate user chimed in.

    Others showed support for the couple, saying, “Age of 26 is legal” and that they “look cute together.”

    Born in Melbourne but raised in Bali, Inka is a runway model who also has her own clothing brand called She is I.

    In 2019, Inka said the brand allowed her to continue her “mother’s legacy in design and revive her beautiful creations from the 90s.” The IMG model’s mother reportedly sewed clothes for her when she was a child.

    Cher’s partner is 40 years younger than her, Stephen Fry’s partner is 30 years younger than him and yet I don’t see any comments about them.

    Double standards. That is all that is. If it was a Woman and her partner is 20 years her junior she gets praise. If it is a Man with a partner 20 years his junior he is a creepy old man.
