We’ve been through a lot. We’ve seen a lot. I’ve seen a lot.” Lenny welcomed his only daughter with ex-wife Lisa Bonet in December 1988. The exes were married from 1987 to 1993. Zoë explained that throughout her childhood she saw her father “change in the most beautiful ways” while also staying “the same in the most important ways.” As Zoë gushed about how talented the musician is and all the things he’s accomplished over the years, she decided to poke fun at Lenny.

“I’ve seen your incredible dedication to your art, but mostly, I’ve seen through your shirts,” she quipped. “According to my dad, if it doesn’t expose your nipples, it’s not a shirt.”
Lenny Kravitz's Quotes on Fatherhood and Raising Daughter Zoe
Zoë explained that she used to find Lenny’s lack of clothing to be embarrassing when he would pick her up from school as a kid. But as she’s grown older, she now admires his unique nature.
“I gotta say, at this point, I respect it. You really do pull it off. Your relationship with a netted shirt is probably your longest one, and it works,” Zoë shared. “You two make each other better, and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. It’s a beautiful thing.”
The actress — who followed her dad’s lead when she freed the nipple at a pre-Oscar party over the weekend — confessed that it’s been “awesome” to have a cool dad like Lenny, but what most people don’t know is that the Grammy winner is more than just his rockstar persona.
“Your radness doesn’t come from your shades or leather pants or netted shirts, it comes from your true love of life. Everything you do is an expression of that love,” she said. “I know Grandpa Sy and Grandma Roxie were already so proud of what they got to watch you do and accomplish and I know that they are still watching in awe of the man and artist you have become. I know I am. Congratulations, you’re a star.”
