Lenny Kravitz and Jason Momoa’s bond is not easily broken.
The rocker, 60, and the Aquaman star, 44, have been close for years, having bonded throughout Momoa’s 15-year-plus relationship with Kravitz’s ex Lisa Bonet. Despite the couple’s split after five years of marriage, Kravitz tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story that nothing has changed on his end.
“We’re family, We will be family,” he says of Momoa when asked about the state of their storied friendship amid the star’s divorce from Bonet. “There’s no judgment.”
For Kravitz, the connection goes deeper than his and Momoa’s relationship. “I’m very proud that their kids call me Uncle Lenny,” he says of Bonet and Momoa’s kids, Lola Lolani and Nakoa-Wolf. “We’re all extremely close and share a lot of love.”
Though divorce can be a death knell for some friendships, that’s not how Kravitz rolls. “It’s all good,” he says. “We will continue, life will continue, love will continue.”
That is how it’s been since his own split from Bonet back in 1993. When it comes to his relationship with the Cosby Show alum and mother of his daughter Zoë Kravitz, 35, he says they did the work to stay close.
“The love doesn’t leave you, but it has to find a new way to funnel itself into a new life,” he says. “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.”
Kravitz’s perspective on maintaining relationships post-divorce reflects a mature and evolved approach, emphasizing that love and respect can transcend marital status. His dedication to family, including his extended family, demonstrates a commitment to nurturing relationships despite life’s changes.
This unwavering bond between Kravitz and Momoa, rooted in mutual respect and a shared love for their family, serves as a heartening example of how relationships can evolve and thrive beyond traditional boundaries. It’s a testament to their ability to prioritize love and family over any differences that might arise.
For readers, Kravitz’s insights offer a powerful reminder: relationships, no matter how they change, can continue to be sources of love and support. The key lies in the willingness to adapt and find new ways to connect, ensuring that the essence of those bonds remains strong and vibrant.
In a world where relationships often become casualties of change, Kravitz and Momoa’s enduring friendship stands out as a beacon of hope, illustrating that true family transcends all.
