Lenny Kravitz Says He’s Celibate
Lenny Kravitz shared a very surprising fact about himself in a new interview: Apparently, he’s celibate.
Speaking with The Guardian, Kravitz revealed he’s celibate and hasn’t been in a serious relationship in nine years. This decision appears to stem from a moment from his childhood he touches on in his memoir. Kravitz recalled hearing his father on the phone with a woman and realizing his father was having an affair. When he confronted his father about it, Kravitz said his father told him he would end up doing the same thing eventually.
The Guardian asked Kravitz if his father was right. He admitted his father “became right.” Following his divorce from Lisa Bonet, Kravitz said he was “becoming a player.” After a while, he didn’t care for how that made him feel about himself and decided to change his ways and not let his “desires take over.”
Kravitz said being celibate and choosing not to be in a relationship is “a spiritual thing.” While he’s open to being in a relationship, Kravitz also admitted, “I have become very set in my ways, in the way I live.”
Lenny Kravitz Living His Life on Social Media
If you follow him on social media, Kravitz appears to be living a peaceful, fulfilling life. On March 15, he shared a shirtless photo of himself in low-rise jeans and captioned it, “Standing in love and gratitude.”
Of course, it didn’t take too long for the comments to roll in, and understandably so. Kelly Rowland wrote, “And just like that…I’m headed to the gym!” Rosario Dawson wrote, “Just blessing the sun with your shine.”
Channing Tatum, however, was the winner of the comment section. Kravitz’s future son-in-law wrote, “Jesus Christmas Lenny wtf you’re gonna hurt someone on this platform. Hahaha.”
Kravitz obviously takes care of himself and is in great shape, but if you think he’d hit the gym wearing athletic clothing, think again!
On April 9, Kravitz shared a video of him lifting weights at a gym, and he was doing so while wearing leather pants and boots.
He captioned the post, “Thank God for today! Grateful. Never been better. There are no shortcuts, so seize your day. It is all possible. Love!”
That sentiment is nice and all, but he must get really sweaty working out in leather pants!
In March, Kravitz shared a video of him shopping at Buc-ee’s for the first time. Naturally, Kravitz is wearing all leather and rocking a very fetching crossbody bag. As expected, if Lenny Kravitz walks into any place — let alone a massive, iconic rest stop convenience store like Buc-ee’s — he’s going to attract attention. Clearly, Kravitz is used to such attention, because the video shows him interacting with and posing for photos for fans.
As for what Kravitz picked up on his first-ever trip to Buc-ee’s, People notes, “While he didn’t give a haul of his purchases, it looks like he grabbed a bag of Buc-ee’s beloved Beaver Nuggets (a sweet puffed corn snack), a freshly-made barbecue sandwich, Celsius energy drinks and more.”
Kravitz captioned the video, “First time at @bucees… So many smiling faces and warm hearts. We are all #Human. See you on the road!”
Kravitz debuted on TikTok in September 2023. The date of his first post happened to be the first day of Fall, and he was more than prepared. Why? Because he was wearing his notoriously massive scarf that went viral.
The TikTok shows Kravitz donning the scarf and walking through a park. He says while walking toward the camera, “Grab your big scarf. It’s the first day of Fall.”
As far as social media debuts go, you couldn’t ask for better.
