The pair, who got engaged last year, worked together on black comedy Blink Twice, which served as the Big Little Lies actress’ directorial debut.
The creepy story follows tech billionaire Slater King (Channing) as he invites young waitress Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island for a drug-fueled trip – but things quickly become disturbing when her friend Jess (Alia Shawkat) disappears.
Taking to Instagram, the Magic Mike actor, 44, shared his pride at how hard his partner worked behind the scenes to make her project a reality.
Alongside a snap showing the 35-year-old sleeping on his chest, he began: ‘This little sweet. She So tired bro. Every time I wondered if she’d break…. She just kept going and going and going. Always on the dig for truth.
‘She pour’d every single ounce of her into this film. I’m so proud to stand ten toes down for her, this film and everyone in it. Forever. Knowing what it took to make it. No one will ever know.
‘Thank you for finding me and seeing me. I got you forever. Me and you back to back against it all. I’ll never blink. Let’s go. #blinktwice [sic].’
Fans and famous faces couldn’t get enough of the loving declaration and flooded Channing’s comments section with praise for his sweet words.
Michelle Visage was among his impressed followers, simply penning: ‘Sweetest post ever.’
Adam Devine agreed: ‘Damn! This makes me want to run through a wall in the name of love!’
Honestly? Hard same.
Instagram user Tamzjanell commented: ‘She’s gonna get you!! Love and ADORE the support you have for one another…#Teamwork Tell her to rest up and get that Oscar speech ready! #BestDirector #Manifesting.’
Ksoulsurvivor said: ‘My heart… it’s giving safe safe space and contentment.’
‘Two beautiful humans inside and out!!!,’ Kakees enthused.
As Darjeelingdresses added: ‘Things like this make me believe love actually is possible in this day and age.’
Blink Twice was released last month and included a trigger warning for potential cinema-goers, alerting them to scenes depicting ‘sexual violence’.
Days before the release, Amazon MGM Studios and Warner Bros released a statement on social media, which read: ‘Trigger warning: We are proud to finally share Blink Twice with audiences in theaters worldwide this week,’ the message reads on social media.
‘Blink Twice is a psychological thriller about the abuse of power. While this is a fictionalized movie, it contains mature themes and depictions of violence — including sexual violence.
‘This may be upsetting or triggering for some viewers. For resources that offer support, visit BlinkTwiceResources.com.’
Prior to being called Blink Twice, the movie was meant to be called Pussy Island, but filmmaker Zoe eventually changed her mind.
Unpacking her directing debut in a candid chat with The Hollywood Reporter, she shared why it was such an important project.
‘This story is so personal to me in terms of exploring what it feels like to be a woman, and of course when I’m talking to my girlfriends, we all have similar experiences, but when you go outside of your circle, it can be a little scary,’ she told the Hollywood Reporter.
‘I set this on an island because I wanted to isolate the characters and have them deal with this situation. I was thinking about, again, the Garden of Eden and Lord of the Flies, and I’m not just also talking about powerful men at that level.
‘It could be your husband. It could be the man down the street that’s following you home. It could be your boss, it could be a family member.
‘There’s power on different levels and abuse of power on different levels. And so, how do you encapsulate this big idea into specific characters and try to find a way to make it relatable? People connect that to specific things, but that’s not the way it was thought about, if that makes sense.’
Blink Twice is in cinemas now.
