Zoë Kravitz reveals how much Channing Tatum means to her.

The 35-year-old actress gave an emotional speech about working with her fiancé in Flash twice — which also marks her directorial debut — during the film’s premiere at the DGA Theater on Thursday, August 8.

PEOPLE was on hand for Kravitz’s sweet words.

“You supported me in every way,” Kravitz told Tatum, 44, who also stars in the film. “From producing to performing to giving pep talks to holding my head or my feet while I was crying on the bathroom floor because I thought I had messed everything up.”

Kravitz went on to thank Tatum for his “patience” and for allowing her to be “a completely obsessive, psychotic control freak” when it came to working on her new film. She also emphasized how much of a joy it was to work with her partner to create this story.

“Making this film with you has been an incredible adventure,” she said. “Thank you for trusting me to direct you as a female director.”

“It’s really cool to be able to make a movie, but when you get to do it with the love of your life, it’s even cooler,” she added.

The Magic Mike Star echoed her sentiments on the red carpet, telling PEOPLE that he had a great experience working with Kravitz Flash twice.

“Creating something with someone you love is probably one of the most fulfilling things, outside of having a child with someone, I think,” Tatum said of the “best” thing about making a film with his better half.

“It’s one of those … you really create something from nothing and it’s like a marriage or creating something where you think: everything we are goes into this and you want to create it with the people you love,” he added.
