Lenny Kravitz Explains His ‘Love’ for Jason Momoa
In a new Men's Health cover story, rock star Lenny Kravitz opened up about his relationship with movie star Jason Momoa.
In 2017, Momoa married Kravitz's ex-wife, actress Lisa Bonet.
"Literally the moment we met, we were like, ‘Oh, yeah. I love this dude'," he says.
It can be difficult for some to see an ex-spouse move on and marry someone else—but not Lenny Kravitz. In a new Men's Health cover story, the rock star opened up about his relationship with Jason Momoa, the movie star and—since 2017—husband to Kravitz's ex-wife, Lisa Bonet.
Kravitz and Bonet were married between 1987 and 1993; their only child, actress/model Zo? Kravitz, was born in 1988.
“People can’t believe how tight Jason and I are, or how tight I still am with Zo?’s mom, how we all relate,” Kravitz says. “We just do it because that’s what you do."
Momoa and Kravitz aren't shy about how fond they are of one another, and that includes quite a bit of social media crossposting. In August, Kravitz wished Momoa Happy Birthday on his Instagram, posting a photo of the two together at Zo?'s 2019 wedding to actor Karl Glusman.
Kravitz made it clear that he held no grudges; with his ex-wife, time just had to take its course. But with her new husband, he knew from the get-go they were going to get along.
"You let love rule, right? I mean, obviously, after a breakup, it’s work—it takes some work and time, healing and reflection, et cetera," he said. "But as far as Jason and I? Literally the moment we met, we were like, ‘Oh, yeah. I love this dude.’ ”
In 2018, Momoa posted a photo of the two together after Kravitz came to see Momoa make his debut hosting Saturday Night Live; in the photo, Kravitz is wearing a skull ring that Momoa says in his caption he got him as a gift from an artist he found on Instagram.
Clearly, the whole family gets along. Zo? frequently posts photos with Momoa as well.
Next step? Maybe get the whole gang together on a song. We know Lenny's up for it. In the Men's Health cover story, he talks about the importance of Bonet helping co-write songs on his 1989 debut album, Let Love Rule. Zo? sang alongside Janelle Monáe on the song "Screwed" on her 2018 album Dirty Computer. We don't know if Jason Momoa can sing—but what's the harm in trying?
