Lenny Kravitz has confessed he seduced his ex-wife Lisa Bonet by telling her he liked her hair.
Lenny Kravtiz
The ‘Are You Gonna Go My Way’ hitmaker was married to actress Lisa - with whom he has 31-year-old daughter and fellow actress Zoe Kravitz - between 1987 and 1993, and has said he used a “lame line” about her hair to woo her.
Recalling the first time he met Lisa - who is now married to actor Jason Momoa - whilst backstage at a New Edition concert, he wrote in his new memoir, ‘Let Love Rule’: “[I said] ‘I like your hair’. It was a lame line, a stupid line, one of the worst lines in the history of bad lines.”
The 56-year-old singer also admitted he once saw the actress on the cover of a TV Guide magazine before meeting her, and told a friend: “I’m gonna marry that girl.”
Since their 1993 divorce, the pair have remained close for the sake of their daughter, and Lenny has even grown close to Lisa’s new husband Jason.
Lenny recently said he knew he and Jason - who began dating Lisa in 2005 and has daughter Lola, 13, and son Nakoa-Wolf, 11, with her - would be friends “the moment they met”.
He said: “People can't believe how tight Jason and I are, or how tight I still am with Zoe’s mom, how we all relate. We just do it because that's what you do. 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. But as far as Jason and I? Literally the moment we met, we were like, 'Oh, yeah. I love this dude.’”
And the ‘Fly Away’ singer also described his relationship with Lisa and Jason - who tied the knot in 2017 - as being like "one family”.
He explained: "It's essential. We have a child, and we love each other just as much as before - it’s just a different situation. It takes time, work and dedication, but that is something that the two of us had. I love her husband, and I love her children. We all get together, and we have the best times. We communicate, we have each other’s backs and that is the way it should be. We’re all one family.”
