11 Things Every 'Big Little Lies' Fan Needs to Know About Zoë Kravitz's Parents

No offense to your parents (they’re probably great!), but Zoë Kravitz has the coolest mom and dad of all time, and frankly they put all other moms and dads to shame.

In case you aren’t aware, the 29-year-old Big Little Lies actress is the daughter of actress Lisa Bonet and musician Lenny Kravitz. Here’s everything you need to know about them, and their sweet relationship.

First up, some Lisa Bonet #Facts.

50-year-old Lisa Bonet is best known for her role as Denise in The Crosby Show (she was fired over “creative differences”), but she’s also been in several films—including High Fidelity! She has two kids with certified hunk Jason Momoa, but we’ll get to him in a minute.

Next up, some Lenny #Facts.

As you likely know, 53-year-old Lenny is a musician famous for hits like “American Woman.” He also performed with Katy Perry at the Super Bowl XLIX halftime show, has won hella awards (specifically four Grammys for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance), is a designer, and has dabbled in acting.

And you know what? I’m going to go ahead and put the video for “American Woman” here for all of us to watch together.

Lisa and Lenny are divorced but still BFFs.

Lenny and Lisa met backstage at a show, and were apparently friends before dating. They eloped on her 20th birthday in 1987, and welcomed Zoë into the world on December 1, 1988. The pair eventually split up, but are still close and often appear at events together. In fact, back in 2017 Lenny told Mr. Porter that he and Lisa are “best friends,” saying, “We were mirror images of each other, male and female. It was quite extraordinary.”

Lenny’s had a buncha famous girlfriends—including Nicole Kidman!

Not only did Lenny date Johnny Depp’s ex Vanessa Paradis, he dated and got engaged to supermodel Adriana Lima in 2002. And get this: He also dated and popped the question to Nicole Kidman, who stars in Big Little Lies with Zoë!

“I knew Zoë because I was engaged to her father,” Nicole casually revealed while talking about BLL with The Edit. “It’s all in the family!”

Amazing/iconic, and also go ahead and watch Zoë’s thoughts on the engagement below:

FYI, Lenny is celibate.

Apparently, he made the commitment to not have sex before marriage back in 2005. “It took years to get it right,” he said. “To actually do it, and really try to walk the walk and not just talk it. It’s not like it’s not important—I think sex and intimacy and all that is very important. It’s just that I’m going to do it with my wife. And not everybody else.”

Guess his new girlfriend Barbara Fialho has something to look forward to!

Lisa Bonet is now married to Jason Momoa, AKA Aquaman, AKA Khal Drogo

These two have been together forever—but only made it official during a secret wedding in 2017—and Jason wasn’t thrilled about the news breaking. “I thought it would have stayed [secret], but some a—hole leaked it and I will find you,” he told ET. “You know what, I’ve been married to my wife for 12 years. It’s just a gathering of our families and celebrating our love.”

Speaking of love, the entire family are basically—to use a tired-but-relevant phrase—squad goals. Here they are bonding in 2010:

Zoë’s Childhood Was Insanely Chill Thanks to Her Parents

During an interview on Watch What Happens Live!, Zoë said while her parents were “quite strict,” their version of the dug and sex talk was “here’s some drugs, don’t have sex.”

Reminder! Lenny was in The Hunger Games.

Lenny played Cinna! How cool is that! Here he is seductively whispering:


Lisa has spoken out about Bill Cosby’s allegations.

“There was just energy. And that type of sinister, shadow energy cannot be concealed,” she told PORTEREdit of her time on The Cosby Show. “If I had anything more to reveal then it would have happened a long time ago. That’s my nature. The truth will set you free.”

Lenny’s responsible for the world’s best meme.

Once upon a time Lenny Kravitz stepped out wearing what he claimed was a “scarf” but was clearly just a massive blanket.

The internet has never been able to get over it.

Guys, what if it’s a normal-size scarf and something terrible has happened to Lenny Kravitz?

“That thing will not go away! What’s funny is that they’ll blow it up and make the scarf even bigger than it was,” Kravitz told Billboard of his infamous moment. “It’s so funny. That thing just keeps on popping up. But yeah, that was a cold-ass day.”

And finally, Lenny accidentally exposed his penis on stage and embarrassed everyone in the process.

Lenny’s penis fell out of his leather pants while performing in Sweden in 2015. He commented on the incident (dubbed #PenisGate) by sharing a text from Steven Tyler:

Meanwhile, Zoë shared texts between herself and Steven’s daughter:
