Who is Lenny Kravitz married to?

Kravitz met Cosby Show actress Lisa Bonet at Backstage at a New Edition concert in California in 1985. They were close friends for two years before getting together. Kravitz returned to New York City, where The Cosby Show was produced, in 1987 to live with Bonet.

On November 16, 1987, her 20th birthday, they eloped and married in a Las Vegas ceremony. Kravitz, who was still known as Romeo Blue at the time, found himself in tabloid headlines. On December 1, 1988, he and Bonet welcomed a daughter, Zo Isabella Kravitz, who went on to become an actress, singer, and model. In 1991, Kravitz and Bonet divorced. In 1993, they separated amicably.

From 1991 to 1996, Kravitz dated French singer and model Vanessa Paradis. In 2001, he began dating Brazilian model Adriana Lima, and they lived together until getting engaged in 2002. In August 2003, the engagement was called off. Lima appeared in Kravitz’s music video for “Yesterday Is Gone (My Dear Kay)” in 2002. From 2003 to 2004, he dated and was engaged to Australian actress Nicole Kidman.

Meanwhile, Leonard Kravitz was born on May 26, 1964, in New York City. His mother, Roxie Roker, was an actress best remembered for her role in “The Jeffersons,” while his father, Sy, worked as an NBC news producer.

Lenny is also a second cousin of Al Roker, the popular TV weatherman. Kravitz’s mother and father were both Christians, but he wasn’t religious until he was 13 when he started going to church; he later opted to become a non-denominational Christian. Lenny began using pots and pans as drums when he was three years old, and by the age of five, he had determined that he wanted to be a musician.

He grew up playing drums and guitar and listening to jazz, R&B, blues, and gospel.

Lenny attended P.S. 6 elementary school in Manhattan before moving to Los Angeles when Roxie was cast in “The Jeffersons.” Kravitz was a member of the California Boys Choir for three years and has performed with the Metropolitan Opera. Later, he began to listen to rock bands like Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and Pink Floyd. Lenny went to Beverly Hills High School with future stars Slash and Nicolas Cage, where he learned to play the bass and piano. Kravitz went on the road after graduation in 1982, performing as “Romeo Blue.”
