Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleLisa Bonet has been hogging the attention after she recently made a rare appearance during Paris Fashion Week over the weekend. The actress sat in the front row and later posed for photos where she could be seen wearing a long taupe coat paired with an all-black outfit underneath. Lisa also showed off her beautiful silver locks, which reached down to her waist. Lisa completed her look with round sunglasses, black heeled boots, and layered necklaces.
According to InStyle, this is Lisa Bonet’s first public appearance in four years. Amid this, the focus has shifted to her personal life. The 58-year-old has been married twice, first to Lenny Kravitz and then to Jason Momoa.
What was the real reason behind Binet and Lenny Kravitz’s split?
Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz had a whirlwind romance in the late '80s. For those unaware, the duo first met in a backstage elevator at a New Edition concert. Kravitz admitted in an October 2020 interview that at the time he thought he blew his chance with her as he choked up.
He was mesmerized by Lisa and especially liked her hair, calling it beautiful. But contrary to Kravitz’s fears, he developed a relationship with Lisa Bonet and the two tied the knot in 1987. They welcomed their daughter, Zoe Kravitz, one year later, in 1988.
Lenny Kravitz and Lisa eventually called it quits in 1991. The musician wrote his song It Ain't Over ‘Til It's Over about the time they went through their breakup. He said:
"I wrote that to my ex-wife [Lisa Bonet]. We were going through our break-off, which led to a divorce. We had our child and a great life together. We were sort of mirror images of each other... So it was a very difficult time."
According to Kravitz, he believed that Lisa Bonet was a female version of him. He even said that when Lisa was doing her Cosby Show, people would refer to him as Mr. Bonet, and he would never care. Kravitz said that Lisa had inspired him a lot and the two had a magical time together.
However, things between Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet turned sour as the singer went through a series of unfortunate events in his life. The former pair also realized that they were too young to be together.
They were still in their 20s when they got married. Lenny said he “had to take a break” as he was going through a time when there were a lot of deaths in his family. Speaking about how heartbroken he was after his split from Lisa Bonet, the musician added:
"I was in a tremendous amount of pain when we broke up, tremendous. For, like, six months, I only slept for two hours a day, from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. The rest of the time I was just up, like a zombie. I was floored. The album was my way of releasing it somehow."
Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz remain friends after their divorce
Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz have succeeded in what many fail to do, remaining friends even after their divorce. Not only that, but the duo have also amicably co-parented their daughter, Zoe. Kravitz confessed that he’s happy he has a healthy relationship with Lisa and Zoe, and even with the actress’ former flame, Jason Momoa, whom she was married to for 4 years. He shared:
"Zoe's mom and I now are best friends. When we're all together now — her man, her kids, Zoe, me — we're all together, and we're one big, happy family. It's beautiful, and it just shows you what can be done."
