Lenny Kravitz isn’t just a rock star; he’s also an open book when it comes to his personal journey, including his approach to relationships and celibacy.
In a candid interview, the 60-year-old reflected on a pivotal moment from his past: discovering his father’s infidelity. “He became right,” Lenny admitted, acknowledging how he, too, began to emulate his father’s behavior, evolving into what he describes as “a player.” However, he quickly realized that this wasn’t the path he wanted to follow. “I didn’t want to be that guy,” he affirmed, expressing his discomfort with the direction his love life was taking. “So I had to tackle that, and it took years.”
For Lenny, tackling his relationship patterns meant embracing celibacy during single periods. He hasn’t been romantically involved with anyone seriously for nearly a decade, and he’s committed to maintaining his celibacy. Explaining his stance, he revealed, “It’s a spiritual thing.” This decision reflects his deep-rooted desire for personal growth and self-awareness.
Reflecting on a more lighthearted moment from his career, Lenny addressed the infamous wardrobe malfunction where his leather pants split onstage, revealing that he wasn’t wearing underwear. When asked if he was embarrassed by the incident, his response was characteristically nonchalant: “You just have to go with it. What can you do?” However, he did learn from the experience, ensuring that his wardrobe choices were more reliable moving forward. “No, I just made sure the pants I had were working,” he quipped.
