The Big Little Lies actress is close with both Lenny and Lisa. She’s called her look-alike mom “my pal,” and her dad frequently posts proud platitudes about Zoë on social media.

Lenny told PEOPLE in 2020 that he and Zoë “have a very open dialogue,” and their relationship reminds him of the tight bond he saw between his mother, late Jeffersons actress Roxie Roker, and his grandfather.

“I also think I mentioned it to my dad at one point and I think I could feel that it made him a little sad,” she said in 2020 on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard. “So, yeah, I just kind of stuck with it. I did used to be really insecure about people just associating me with my family and now I love it — I’m so proud of them and it’s cool.”

Zoë was only 2 when her parents split up in 1991, and they divorced in 1993. Lenny wrote “It Ain’t Over ’til It’s Over” about the end of their relationship. The song, from his 1991 album Mama Said, was ultimately his breakout hit, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Zoë also shared a positive relationship with the actor. “I hope and pray my daughter is that talented and loving and open and close to her family,” Momoa said of Zoë in a 2020 interview with Men’s Health, also sharing, “I love her dad.”

Lenny spoke of his “tight” friendship with Momoa in his own cover story with Men’s Health one month prior. “People can’t believe how tight Jason and I are, or how tight I still am with Zoë’s mom, how we all relate,” he said. “We just do it because that’s what you do. You let love rule, right?”

Zoë was raised in Los Angeles and Miami but now considers Brooklyn, New York, home. Lenny took the opposite route: He was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in Manhattan on May 26, 1964, to Jeffersons star Roxie Roker and TV producer Sy Kravitz. He grew up in both New York City and L.A. and graduated from Beverly Hills High School in 1982.

When Lenny was younger, he would travel with his mother to the Bahamas to visit her family during the summers, he told Travel + Leisure in 2019. He now splits his time between homes in the Bahamas (where he has a recording studio on the rural island of Eleuthera), Paris and Rio de Janeiro.

“My mom did a really good job of keeping me sheltered,” Zoë told Elle U.K. in 2018 — though there were still plenty of celebrities around, like godmother Marisa Tomei or Lenny’s friend Mick Jagger. “I didn’t have television growing up, and I didn’t have internet at the house. I was allowed to watch one movie a weekend that we had on VHS that she would choose.”

The High Fidelity star opened up to Rolling Stone in 2018 about her relationship with her dad during those years in Topanga. “He wasn’t absent. But he was working a lot. I didn’t feel abandoned or anything,” she said. “But when you’re that age, and someone comes and goes, it feels like Santa Claus or something — it’s this event.”

“I think it was very hurtful that I moved away from [my mom] to be with my dad and my dad wasn’t even there,” she told Esquire, explaining that Lenny was often on tour. “I just wish I had been able to appreciate what she was doing for me. She was so focused on preserving my innocence. My creativity. Because she knew what the world is — that you don’t get that back.”

Lenny and Lisa are half Black and half Jewish: Lenny’s mother was first-generation Bahamian American, and his father was of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. Lisa’s mother was also Jewish, while her father was African American. Zoë told Elle U.K. that as a multiracial teenager, she “felt like a freak.”

The Mad Max: Fury Road star also opened up about how her upbringing and her famous father’s love life affected her self-image.

Lenny first started his career at age 16, performing under the stage name Romeo Blue. He released his debut album, Let Love Rule, in 1989, and has since dropped 10 more studio albums, plus his other EPs and singles. In addition to “It Ain’t Over ’til It’s Over,” his biggest hits include “I Belong to You,” his cover of “American Woman” and “Are You Gonna Go My Way.” In 1999, he won his first Grammy for the song “Fly Away.”

Beyond the music world, Lenny is an actor, having starred in films like Precious, The Hunger Games franchise and Lee Daniels’ The Butler. He’s also a photographer, having shown his first exhibit, “Flash,” at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2015. Lenny also owns the interior design firm Kravitz Design and published a memoir, Let Love Rule, in 2020.

When she met Lenny, Lisa was starring as Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show. In 1986, she was nominated for an Emmy for her role. Lisa briefly left the hit show in 1987 to reprise her role in the first season of Denise’s spinoff, A Different World, but she exited the sitcom after announcing she was pregnant with her first 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦. She later returned to The Cosby Show.

In the years since, she’s appeared in about a dozen small screen projects, including as host of a 1992 election special, Why Bother Voting?, and a recurring role on season 4 of Ray Donovan. She has also starred in films like Angel Heart, Enemy of the State and Biker Boyz and directed music videos, including Lenny’s “Stand by My Woman” in 1991. In 2000, Lisa appeared in the rom-com High Fidelity. Twenty years later, Zoë starred in the Hulu series based on the original film with her mother.

Lenny has been one of Zoë’s most vocal supporters over the years — in 2022, he gave her a shout-out for her role as Catwoman in The Batman. “Congratulations, my love, on this iconic moment. I am so proud of you,” he wrote on Instagram.

He also shared sweet words following her Saturday Night Live hosting debut in 2022. “To see you shine in the same building where your grandparents met and worked was surreal. You were perfection,” he wrote alongside a photo of himself giving her a kiss on the cheek.

Back in 2011, Lenny told Details that he was “not a jealous dad” when it came to Zoë being in the public eye. “I trust her judgment. She’s well equipped, and she needs to go out and do her own thing,” he told the outlet. “She’s seen enough and was loved enough by both her mom and me that she has made me proud on every account.”

When Zoë was younger, she used to join her parents at work, which often entailed red carpet events and TV appearances. While promoting The Batman on The Tonight Show in 2022, she reminisced about the time her dad brought her to an interview, where she performed a rendition of TLC’s “No Scrubs.”

Lisa carried 6-month-old Zoë at the 1989 TV special Our Common Future. As she grew older, Zoë accompanied her dad to big events like the 2000 Grammys and many fashion shows, like the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2002 and Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2007 show during New York Fashion Week. She also attended plenty of red-carpet events, like the 2006 premiere of Ask the Dust and the Independent Spirit Awards in 2010. She even joined her dad on the Oscars red carpet.

Bonet has also been by her side on red carpets, including the 2011 premiere of Conan the Barbarian, the 2013 Chanel pre-Oscars dinner, the 2015 InStyle Awards and several Vanity Fair Oscar parties.

That same year, Zoë spoke to Ocean Drive magazine about her parents’ relationship, saying the pair had “so much love for each other.”

In a 2023 interview with Byrdie, Zoë shared the wise advice her stylish parents have given her over the years.

She shared the same “cliché” with O, The Oprah Magazine in 2013. “This industry can be judgmental, and it’s easy to feel like you want to change according to what’s cool at that moment,” she said. “My dad has stayed true to himself, and that’s led me to do the same.”

The Kimi actress has apparently taken more than just fashion advice from her parents — she’s also raided their closets!

“Zoë has a lot of my stuff,” Lenny told Details in 2011. “She took all my boas from the Mama Said era. They were in storage, and I yelled at her, ‘Don’t steal my boas!’ She laughed and said, ‘Those words would not come out of most fathers’ mouths.’ ”

Now that Zoë is engaged to Channing Tatum, her dad is looking forward to their upcoming wedding, though he did tell Entertainment Tonight that he plans to wing his father-of the bride toast.
