Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet first met in 1985 backstage at a New Edition concert. The two formed a fast friendship that Kravitz described in his 2020 memoir, Let Love Rule, “We vibed immediately. Time stood still. Without a lot being said, there was magnetism. I'd never had an encounter like it before. We were from the same tribe."
Two years later, the relationship turned romantic, and the pair got married in Las Vegas in November 1987. A year later, the couple welcomed their daughter Zo?. However, the marriage was not built to last, and the two separated in 1991 before finalizing their divorce in 1993.
Even though they didn’t work romantically, the former couple remains friends. Kravitz has discussed this aspect of the relationship, saying, “Zo?’s mom and I now are best friends. It’s interesting because that’s how the relationship started. It makes you feel really good when you can do that. When we’re all together now."
Bonet went on to enter a long-term relationship with actor Jason Momoa in 2005, with the two marrying in 2017. However, they announced their separation in 2022.
Who did Lenny Kravitz have a baby with?
Lenny Kravitz only has one child, his daughter Zo?, who he shares with ex-wife Lisa Bonet. Zo? was born on Dec. 1, 1988, around one year after the two got married.
The elder Kravitz discussed his relationship with his daughter in his 2020 memoir, Let Love Rule, “We can talk about anything and everything. My mother and my grandfather had a very close relationship. To the point where, as a teenager, I thought it was ridiculous. So when I see the relationship between Zo? and myself, I see the relationship between my mother and my grandfather. It makes me very happy that we've elevated to that level."

Did Lenny Kravitz date Kylie Minogue?
Lenny Kravitz and pop singer Kylie Minogue reportedly dated for a short time in 1991. However, neither musician has discussed the relationship in much detail publicly.
How long did Lenny Kravitz and Vanessa Paradis date?
Many will remember the long-term relationship between Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp, which spanned 14 years (from 1998 to 2012) and spawned 2 children. However, few remember that Paradis was actually in a years-long relationship with Lenny Kravitz directly prior to dating Depp.
Paradis and Kravitz dated for about five years from 1992 to 1997. They met when the French singer sought out Kravitz to produce her first English album in 1991.
At the time, Kravitz said of working with Paradis, “I think Vanessa is a very intense young lady. I think she's extremely talented. I learned a lot about producing, working with an artist, but this music was really, really tailored for her. I tried to get inside of her mind. I spent a lot of time with her to see what she was thinking, what she was feeling.”
The couple even recorded a duet for the album, “Silver and Gold.”

Why did Lenny Kravitz and Vanessa Paradis split up?
When Lenny Kravitz and Vanessa Paradis split up in 1997, neither spoke publicly about the decision. However, in 2009, Kravitz finally opened up about the end of their relationship, saying, “I was madly in love with her. Vanessa was the perfect woman, but she came at the wrong time.”
In fact, Kravitz was even the one who introduced Paradis to Johnny Depp, who she would go on to date for 14 years and have two children with.
Kravitz had more to say about his former flame, explaining, “I have never seen her since. She did not come to my concerts; we did not have any more contact. I can only wish her happiness. But I am not worried. I know that one day we will run into each other. And it will be time to talk about all this.”
For anyone hoping the two rekindle their relationship, that seems unlikely as Paradis married director Samuel Benchetrit in 2018.

Did Lenny Kravitz date Nicole Kidman?
Lenny Kravitz and Nicole Kidman did in fact date. The pair met in 2002 when Kidman was subletting Kravitz’s Manhattan property while her own $8 million West Village apartment was undergoing renovations. They began dating around this time, but managed to keep it under wraps—so under wraps in fact, that it was not public knowledge that the two had ever been in a very serious relationship until almost 15 years later. The pair had gotten engaged during their time together, but it would appear marriage was not in the cards as they never ended up exchanging vows.
When were Lenny Kravitz and Nicole Kidman engaged?
It is not known exactly when Lenny Kravitz and Nicole Kidman were engaged as the two were shockingly good at keeping their relationship private. In 2007, Kidman did admit in an interview that she “got engaged to somebody… It just wasn’t right. I wasn’t ready. We weren’t ready … I get engaged and I get married—that’s my thing. I don’t want to date. I’m interested in a very, very deep connection.”
Kravitz’s daughter, Zo? Kravitz, who would go on to star with Kidman in HBO’s Big Little Lies almost two decades in the future, opened up about her recollections about their relationship years later. “I hadn’t seen her in a long time before Big Little Lies, but there was a point where we were all kind of living together. I was about 13, and she would take me to see movies; she was so nice to me.”
Considering Zo? was born at the end of 1988, she would have been 13 around 2002, which is around the time Kidman and Kravitz are rumored to have been dating. That means the two were most likely engaged around this time as well.
