When a couple gets along so well after a split, it can be hard to understand what went wrong in the first place. In the case of Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz, it may have been because the couple wasn’t prepared for such a big commitment. “I think I just wasn’t ready,” the rock star told Glamour UK in 2014, speaking on the split. “I had to take a break. I went through a lot of emotional things, a lot of deaths in my family.”
And although the decision to divorce might have been for the best, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t painful. “I was in a tremendous amount of pain when we broke up, tremendous,” Lenny told Rolling Stone in 1995. “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.” Ultimately, though, the real reason Lenny and Bonet put all of their hurt feelings aside was for the good of their daughter, Zoë Kravitz. “We had Zoe, which is, I see now, what it was all about,” Lenny told Us Weekly. ” It was really all about bringing this beautiful child to the planet, and also sharing the love that [Lisa and I] had. When we’re all together now … we’re one big happy family,” he added, calling their blended family “beautiful.”
