KEY POINTS

  • Lenny Kravitz said he has a tight relationship with ex-wife Lisa Bonet and her husband Jason Momoa
  • Kravitz and Momoa hit it off as soon as they met
  • Kravitz once called the “Aquaman” actor his “brother”

Lenny Kravitz has a lot of love for his ex-wife Lisa Bonet’s current husband, “Aquaman” actor Jason Momoa.

In a new interview with Men’s Health, the 56-year-old musician said he has a “tight” friendship with Momoa and they hit it off the moment they met.

“People can’t believe how tight Jason and I are, or how tight I still am with Zoë’s mom, how we all relate,” Kravitz told the magazine. “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.’”

Kravitz was married to Bonet from 1987 to 1993, and they have a daughter together, actress Zoë Kravitz.

Bonet married Momoa, with whom she has been romantically linked since 2005, in 2017. They are parents to two kids — 13-year-old Lola and 11-year-old Nakoa-Wolf.

This is not the first time Kravitz has gushed about Momoa. In 2019, the singer called his ex-wife’s husband his “brother” in an interview with U.K.’s The Times.

“I love her husband — he’s like a brother to me — and I love the kids,” Kravitz said of Momoa, adding, “It’s beautiful, but it takes work.”

Kravitz is currently at his home in Eleuthera, Bahamas, where he traveled to in March when the coronavirus pandemic first started. He thought he would be staying only for a few weeks but said he’ll be happy to spend the next five years there.

He has been keeping himself busy by working out and writing his memoir, “Let Love Rule.”

Working on the book has been like a therapy session for Kravitz as it helped him understand his father better.

Recalling the words his father said to him after he cheated on his mother, "You’ll do it too,” Kravitz said this affected him more than he knew.

“Those four words, man, affected me more than I knew. There were times in my life where that was very difficult, and I didn’t understand why," he shared. "I love my father, and we made peace before he died, but I held on to some things that had affected me in our relationship, and through writing the book…I was able to strip away some of the judgment that I had held on to and got to just see him as a human being."
