He might be the object of many a heart’s desire (who could forget that workout photo?!), but Lenny Kravitz has been single for 10 years — and he’s happy that way.
“I’m good on my own. There’s nothing like a relationship with… You know,” Kravitz, 60, told The Times in an interview published Saturday, February 22. “But right now, I’m good where I am.”
Kravitz’s relationship history is a storied one — he was married to Lisa Bonet from 1987 to 1993, at which time the pair welcomed their daughter Zoe Kravitz in 1988. After the pair’s split, he went on to have a five-year relationship with Vanessa Paradis, and was at one point even engaged to Nicole Kidman.
In May 2024, Kravitz also said he’s chosen to remain celibate until he finds the right partner, something The Times noted he appeared to wave off in this interview.
Lenny Kravitz and Zoë Kravitz were a fierce father-daughter duo at the 2023 Academy Museum Gala. The 35-year-old actress and the 59-year-old musician posed together on the red carpet at the Sunday, December 3, soirée in Los Angeles, which raises money to help support the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ exhibitions, education initiatives and public […]
He was much more willing to talk about daughter Zoe, 36, who hilariously noted that her father’s “relationship with the netted shirt is probably your longest one — and it works” when Kravitz received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in March 2024.

Kravitz hasn’t stopped wearing mesh shirts, either.
“So now people come up to me when I’m wearing [one]: ‘What did your daughter tell you?’ I’m like, ‘What?’ And I look down and I’m, like, ‘Oh my God. I’m a caricature of myself,’” he told the publication.
The singer and actor also shared where he likes to shop for furniture (Paris flea markets, something Paradis introduced him to in the 1990s) and clothes (“I have certain vintage dealers that I deal with. They curate things, they know what I like.”) before he revealed he has a fondness for the Netflix series Emily in Paris.
“I’ve seen the whole thing,” he said. “I love a bit of camp every now and again. I know the creator [Darren Star], who I met after I’d watched it. We were at a dinner in LA at a friend’s house. She said, ‘He does Emily in Paris.’ I was like ‘You do?’”

Lenny Kravitz has nothing but hope for the future of his love life. “I love love. I love relationships, I love that whole dynamic, and it’s been something that’s been challenging for me,” the Grammy winner, 60, shared in an interview with InStyle published on Wednesday, June 5. Noting that it’s “been quite a while” […]
Though Kravitz might have been single for a decade, it doesn’t seem that it’s completely for lack of trying — but maybe for lack of following through. In November 2024, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey, 57, claimed Kravitz asked for her number, but never actually called her.
“He was really nice,” she said on the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast at the time. “He didn’t use my damn number.”
Perhaps it was for the best, Bailey continued, because she “didn’t feel any sparks” either way.
