Post-divorce, Lenny's romantic ties have included names like Vanessa Paradis, Adriana Lima, and Nicole Kidman.

Delving into his choice, he told The Guardian: "Yes. It's a spiritual thing. I have become very set in my ways, in the way I live," hinting at the challenge of finding someone who can adapt to his lifestyle.
Rapper Ice-T couldn't help but comment on Lenny's celibacy decision, branding it as "weird". On X, the platform that took over Twitter, he remarked: "Hey….. If you're a Guy and you can voluntarily go 9yrs without sex… You're following the wrong page.."
While he didn't drop Lenny's name directly, fans quickly connected the dots.
A fan questioned Ice-T's judgement on Twitter, asking: "Why judge him though? It's his choice. He's different to you… I don't think it's fair to assume something is wrong with him just because he's chosen to be celibate for a long period. I think there are many humans who can and do abstain for long periods for various reasons. Choice."
Ice-T didn't hold back in his response, stating bluntly: "—-'s Weird to me….. I love to —-. A lot."
Lenny had previously discussed his decision to practice celibacy in an interview with Maxim in 2008. He explained that he had made a vow of celibacy until marriage, and at that point in his life, he wanted women to bring more than just physical attraction to the table. He was seeking "the mind and spirit."
He admitted that this approach often surprised women, but it was what he felt was right for him. Lenny also opened up about the struggle he faced with infidelity, a "curse" he believed his father, Sy Kravitz, had passed onto him. In an interview with The Guardian, Lenny revealed that he discovered his father had been unfaithful to his mother, actress Roxie Roker. His father had told him that he would end up doing the same thing, a prediction Lenny sadly admitted was "right".
