The couple appeared to reveal their happy news while attending a Halloween party on Saturday, when Zoe was pictured with a dazzling diamond sparkler on her ring finger.
The Game of Thrones alum is said to feel like he helped bring the lovebirds together, with the source adding, “Jason can’t help but try to take credit for their engagement.”
They continued, “Zoe looks up to Jason as a father, and Jason and (her biological father) Lenny Kravitz are also close. It’s a very modern family situation.
“It’s best to welcome Channing into their family because he already considers him family.”
According to the insider, the whole family is ‘excited’ and looking forward to an ‘epic’ wedding.
Speculation about Channing and Zoe’s engagement first emerged over the weekend when the actress wore a large ring as she and her boyfriend left Kendall Jenner’s Halloween party.
Multiple sources subsequently confirmed the news People this week.
The newly ‘engaged’ couple was first rumored to be dating in early summer 2021 when Zoe cast Channing in her directorial debut, P***y Island.

They had both previously had voice roles in 2017’s The Lego Batman Movie, but at the time they were both in separate relationships.
Channing was married to his Step Up costar, Jenna Dewan, for ten years. They welcomed daughter Everly in 2013 before divorcing in 2019. He subsequently dated British singer Jessie J.
Zoe tied the knot with actor Karl Glusman in 2019, but called it quits 18 months later.
Zoe talked about Channing in an interview for GQ’s Men of the Year 2022 issue and called him “a wonderful person.”

“He makes me laugh and we both really love art and talking about art and the exploration of why we do what we do,” she said.
As for what they like to do together, she said, “We like to watch a movie and break it down, talk about it and challenge each other.”
She also said she fell for him because of how “sweet” and attentive he was to her when they worked together on set.
“Whether it was making me tea or pouring me a drink or getting someone into shape or whatever – he was really my protector and it was really wonderful and sweet,” she explained.
“I think if you can do something like that together, it’s a good test,” she continued. ‘And we came out even stronger.’
