Hollywood actor Channing Tatum turned heads this weekend when paparazzi caught him in a tender moment with his girlfriend, Inka Williams, on one of Costa Rica’s Pacific beaches. The pair, who have dated for nearly a year, appeared relaxed and affectionate during their getaway, drawing attention from both local onlookers and international media.
Photos released by outlets like TMZ show Tatum, 45, and Williams, 26, walking hand-in-hand along the shore before stopping for a kiss amid the waves. The couple also played in the water, laughing as they splashed each other, embracing the laid-back atmosphere that draws visitors to Costa Rica’s coastlines. The sighting happened on January 3, just days into the new year, as they soaked up the sun in what seems like a private escape.
Tatum, known for roles in films like “Magic Mike” and “21 Jump Street,” has kept a lower profile since his split from actress ZoĂ« Kravitz in late 2024. He and Williams, an Australian model based in Bali, went public with their relationship in early 2025. Sources close to the couple say they connected through mutual friends in the entertainment world, and this trip marks one of their first public outings together in Central America.
For Costa Ricans, celebrity visits like this highlight once again, our country’s appeal as a spot for romance and relaxation. Beaches along the Guanacaste coast, where the photos likely originated, offer white sands and clear waters that attract travelers seeking privacy. Tourism officials from the ICT note that such high-profile trips increase interest in the area, with many visitors following in the footsteps of stars who rave about our country’s natural beauty and Pura Vida lifestyle.
Williams, who has a strong following on social media for her modeling work and environmental advocacy, wore a simple bikini in the images, while Tatum opted for casual swim trunks. The duo stayed out of the spotlight otherwise, focusing on their time together rather than engaging with crowds. This approach fits Tatum’s recent comments in interviews about valuing personal connections over public attention.
As they near their one-year milestone, the couple’s bond appears strong, with this beach day serving as a sweet celebration. Costa Rica has long hosted celebrities looking for a break from the hustle, from musicians to athletes, and Tatum’s visit adds to that list. Residents in nearby towns reported no disruptions, just a quiet appreciation for the positive exposure.
The incident reminds us who live here and tourists alike of the simple joys found here—warm seas, fresh air, and moments of connection. While Tatum and Williams have not commented on the photos, their actions speak to a growing relationship set against one of the world’s most scenic backdrops.
