Lenny Kravitz Reveals He Has Been Practicing Celibacy for Nine Years, Describing It as a Spiritual Journey

Rock legend, Lenny Kravitz, celebrated his 60th birthday on May 26 and made a shocking revelation about his personal life. In an interview with The Guardian, the Grammy-winning artist opened up about his decision to embrace celibacy. Kravitz shared that he no longer has an interest in casual sexual encounters and views his celibacy journey as a spiritual practice.

Despite being considered a sex symbol in the rock ‘n’ roll world, Kravitz expressed his desire to remain celibate until he finds the right woman. The singer-songwriter admitted that it has been nine years since he was last in a serious relationship and acknowledged that relationships have become more challenging with age due to his established lifestyle.

While Kravitz has been romantically linked to high-profile celebrities such as Michelle Rodriguez, Kylie Minogue, Adriana Lima, and Vanessa Paradis, his most notable relationship was with his ex-wife, Lisa Bonet. The couple tied the knot in 1987, welcomed their daughter ZoĆ« Kravitz in 1988, and later divorced in 1993. Reflecting on his past behavior after his divorce, Kravitz admitted to struggling with promiscuity and realizing that he was mirroring his father’s behavior. He made a conscious effort to address this behavior by taking responsibility, practicing discipline, and not allowing his desires to control his actions.
