Gayle King Jokingly Shoots Her Shot w/ Lenny Kravitz As She Asks If He’s Dating Anyone: ‘Can I Beat Her A**?’ 

Lenny Kravitz

Typically Kravitz has been one to keep his private life away from the public eye, though he was famously married to A Different World star Lisa Bonet from 1987 to 1993. The pair reportedly met at a concert before getting hitched and welcomed their now-famous daughter Zoë Kravitz in 1988.

King was previously married to attorney William Bumpus, whom she shares her adult children Kirby and Will with. The TV personality opened up about her current dating struggles during an interview earlier this year, admitting that her friendship with her billionaire bestie Oprah Winfrey has caused some men to be intimidated by her. She stated:

“Somebody said to me once, ‘Gayle, look at your shoes … look at your bag, look at your coat. You’re friends with Oprah [Winfrey].’ A guy looks at that and says, ‘I can’t compete with that…But my thing is, it’s not a matter of competing. I’m not looking for someone to compete.”

King also shared one of her more recent off-putting dating experiences, telling the story of one man who was bold enough to ask her for money after they had only been dating for a couple of months. The celebrity admitted that while she could empathize with the situation, it definitely left her with a sour taste about the man.

King went on in that interview to share that she’s looking for a man with “a sense of humor, kindness” as well as “proper grammar,” which seems to be attributes Kravitz carries with grace.
