One of the most well-known artists and rock legends in the world is Lenny
Kravitz. He truly created a name for himself in the music business, on the
entertainment scene, and as an actor after winning Grammy Awards for Best
Rock Vocal Performance four years in a row.
But underneath his stylish and diverse hard rock persona is a really caring
and considerate father to actress Zo Kravitz. Many people would concur that
the two of them indeed originated from the same block based only on their
strong similarity.
Zo was already a celebrity baby when she was born, like many other famous
children. Lenny and his then-wife, Lisa Bonet, had a kid about the time that
his career started to take off.
Lenny revealed to Piers Morgan in 2012 that he used to consume marijuana
nonstop during one stage of his career. When Zo moved home with him at the
age of 11, he eventually stopped smoking and went clean, not realizing that
this was the beginning of one of the cutest father-daughter relationships in
Hollywood.
Lenny frequently praised her daughter Zo in interviews, but the affection
was also shared because she has always been forthright about her tight bond
with his father.
Lenny highlighted how his close but open connection with his daughter
helped Bonet remain a member of their family despite their divorce and the
latter having a family of her own in an interview with People
Magazine.
From the early 1980s till the present, Lenny has been one of the most
popular artists in the world. He was born in New York on May 26, 1964, to
revolutionary Black actress Roxie Roker and NBC television news producer Sy
Kravitz.
He works as a vocalist, composer, record producer, and instrumentalist. He
is a man of numerous musical abilities. He is an actor in addition to all of
that. "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over," "Are You Gonna Go My Way," and
"American Woman" are a few of his top songs.
Lenny's marriage to the actress Bonet was his most well-known union. Before
beginning their relationship in 1985, the two spent a few years as close
friends. On Bonet's 20th birthday, they fled to Las Vegas, where they later
gave birth to a daughter named Zo in December 1988. Lenny and Bonet did,
however, get divorced in 1993.
Following Bonet, Lenny dated a few other women, including Nicole Kidman,
Adriana Lima, and Vanessa Paradis, who was nominated for an Oscar. Both
Kidman and Lima, with whom he was engaged, ended their engagements.
Lenny has pursued his own happiness, but he hasn't spent any time away from
his daughter Zo, with whom he cherishes every conversation about her.
Lenny said to Trevor Noah on "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" that his
mother's friendship with his grandfather served as his biggest source of
parental inspiration.
I observed that they shared the same bond that Zo and I do. They were
father and daughter and closest friends; they were so tight-knit and
close.
Although they have a close relationship, Lenny has made it clear that he
prefers to keep Zo's mother, Bonet, involved.
Four years after the birth of Zo in 1988, Bonet and Lenny were divorced in
1993. However, unlike other famous couples, the two split peacefully and
haven't abandoned their joint obligation to their daughter's
development.
Lenny offers a key to his close bond with his daughter in an interview with
People Magazine: "Zo and I have a really open discussion. Everything and
everything is up for discussion.
The rock icon was questioned on the significance of preserving Bonet and
Zo's friendship as they grew up elsewhere in the interview.
"It's crucial. It's simply a new circumstance, but we still love one other
just as much as before. It takes time, effort, and devotion, but the two of
us had all of those qualities, he told the magazine.
It's interesting to note that Lenny and Bonet's new husband, Jason Momoa,
has publicly acknowledged their tight friendship, which dates back to their
first encounter in 2013.
Lenny explained to The Times that, in light of his split from Bonet and
relationship with Momoa, his new family structure is "mixed."
Lenny touched on how the rather convoluted arrangement for many ultimately
worked out for them in the long run in his more recent interview with Oprah
Winfrey for her "Masterclass" series.
"My best buddy now is Zo's mother. Her partner, her children, Zoe, and I
form a large, content family whenever we are all together. It's stunning and
simply goes to show what's possible.
Momoa and Bonet also went through an amicable divorce in January 2022, and
they continue to share custody of their two children with Lenny.
In March 2022, Zo left the following remark on his father's Instagram post:
"Well isn't this simply lovely. Lenny and Momoa posed for a photo together
on their motorcycles with the caption: "Ride or die. I love you both so
much. Forever brothers
