Lenny Kravitz still has feelings for Lisa Bonet despite their divorce.
The 59-year-old musician has opened up about his “quiet love” for his ex-wife in an interview with People.
“I am what I am because of our experience, because of everything that I was, everything that she was, and everything that came together,” said Lenny, who shares a 35-year-old daughter, Zoë Kravitz, with Lisa.
For those unversed, the I Belong To You hitmaker first met the Angel Heart actress backstage at a New Edition concert in 1985. After that, the two began dating each other.
“I was married to the most beautiful woman on the planet, incredible inside and out, and I wasn’t paying attention to that. I was paying attention to the music,” said Lenny.
“We were quite the family. We had our own groove, expression, fashion. It was a beautiful time. The world Zoë’s mom and I were creating, our family, it was about peace, love and spirit,” he added.
“The love doesn’t leave you, but it has to find a new way to funnel itself into a new life,” Lenny explained. “We consciously wanted to do that. It took time, believe me, but she is a part of my life that will never leave my heart, my soul or my spirit. I am what I am because of our experience.”
Lenny and Lisa were married for 5 years before parting ways in 1993.
