Lenny Kravitz Gushes Over ‘Very Soulful’ Future Son-In-Law Channing Tatum

Lenny Kravitz definitely approves of daughter Zoë Kravitz’s relationship with Channing Tatum.

Zoë and Tatum began dating after working together on her film Blink Twice (formerly called Pussy Island) in August 2021. In October 2023, multiple outlets reported that the duo were engaged after over two years of dating.

Zoë’s dad, Lenny, has previously been candid about how his daughter’s relationship with Tatum just “feels right.” (Lenny shares daughter Zoë with ex-wife Lisa Bonet. Bonet also shares daughter Lola and son Nakoa-Wolf with ex Jason Momoa.)

“I like [Channing] very much,” Lenny told People in January 2024. “[They] have something that’s naturally special. They also do the work. They are dedicated. That’s what it’s all about. It’s beautiful to watch.”

They Are ‘Dedicated’ to One Another

“I remember hearing something from my grandmother at a very young age,” Lenny told People in January 2024. “She said, ‘It’s not just that I’m in love with your grandfather, I’m dedicated to your grandfather.’ Because sometimes you don’t feel that love, right? So then what do you do? It has to be something beyond that love, and that is dedication. So that is something that I see that they have. It’s wonderful to welcome him to the family.”
