It’s not every day Channing Tatum gives us a peek into his personal life on Instagram. A quick scroll through his feed and you'll mostly find work stuff, like promo for his latest movie The Roofman. Even his Instagram Stories usually lean career-focused. But this week? That changed, thanks to his girlfriend’s birthday.

On Tuesday, September 9, the Magic Mike star, 45, hit pause on the work posts to celebrate his girlfriend Inka Williams’s 26th birthday. And he did it with a series of Stories that were equal parts adorable and very PDA-filled.

The first clip showed Channing and Inka riding a motorcycle across the sand, set to Fabolous’s “Can’t Deny It,” with a sweet birthday shoutout written across: “Happiest day of birth to my RIDER! Love you so.”

Next up? A black-and-white selfie taken by Inka herself, where they’re both making kissy faces and Channing’s mid-smooch on the side of her mouth.

He followed that with a beachy shot of Inka in a teeny polka-dot bikini, wrapped in a blanket and another video of her leaping into the ocean and swimming to an inflatable raft. “[pink heart emoji] you Stoopid,” he wrote playfully over the video.

His final Story featured Inka floating peacefully on said inflatable, with Sade’s “Kiss of Life” playing softly in the background.
