Lenny Kravitz has been celibate for the past nine years.
Lenny Kravitz, known for his striking good looks, is seen by many as a sexy icon. But, if you're trying to snag him for a night of passion, better start chewing on your nails. The musician has confessed that he hasn't been in a committed relationship for years. For him, sex without commitment isn't an option.
The common saying "Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll" doesn't seem to hold true for Lenny. He's been waiting for his one true love for the past nine years and has been celibate since then, as he recently revealed in an interview with "The Guardian."
He's been celibate for nine straight years, Kravitz stated in the interview. He's committed to staying faithful to his promise of finding a true love and living abstinently. This is a spiritual journey for him.
Finding a perfect partner is a challenge today, even though he wishes he had someone by his side, Kravitz explained. His years of single life have built up certain habits and lifestyles that he's used to.
Kravitz has been married just once. His six-year marriage to American actress Lisa Bonet produced a daughter, Zoë Kravitz (35), who was born in 1988. The couple divorced in 1993. There have been whispers of relationships and affairs with Nicole Kidman, Adriana Lima, and Kylie Minogue since then.
Kravitz celebrated his 60th birthday just last Sunday. His first new album in six years, "Blue Electric Light," was released two days earlier. He's doing interviews now to promote the record. Of course, with statements like these, Kravitz attracts attention.
Kravitz made a name for himself as a musician back in the early '90s. He later achieved success as an actor, landing roles in the "The Hunger Games" series. During his career, he's also earned the reputation of a sex symbol.
