Lenny Kravitz has seen all of Netflix’s Emily in Paris — and he loves it.
“I’ve seen the whole thing,” Kravitz, 60, told The Sunday Times in an interview published on Saturday, February 22. “I love a bit of camp every now and again. I know the creator [Darren Star], who I met after I’d watched it. We were at a dinner in LA at a friend’s house. She said, ‘He does Emily in Paris.’ I was like ‘You do?’”
For those who may be surprised that Kravtiz has the time to watch a popular Netflix series, he told The Sunday Times, “Oh, sometimes you’ve got to watch some telly, man. Sometimes you’ve got to watch a bit of telly.” Emily in Paris, which premiered in October 2020, has since been renewed for a fifth season on Netflix.
Like the show’s main character Emily (Lily Collins), Kravitz also lives in Paris, but unlike Emily, Kravitz has been single for almost a decade — and likes it that way.

“I’m good on my own. There’s nothing like a relationship with… You know,” he told the outlet. “But right now, I’m good where I am.” (Kravitz shares daughter Zoe Kravitz with ex Lisa Bonet, to whom he was married from 1987 to 1993.)
Kravitz has previously discussed his decision to remain celibate until he finds the right partner. In a 2008 interview with Maxim, Kravitz said, “[It’s] just a promise I made until I get married. Where I’m at in life, the women have got to come with something else, not just the body, but the mind and spirit. It usually trips them out, but that’s the way it’s going to be. I’m looking at the big picture.”
In May of last year, Kravitz spoke again about his choice to be celibate, telling The Guardian at the time, “Yes. It’s a spiritual thing.”
The following month, the Grammy winner said in an interview with InStyle that he was ready to meet the right person and was looking forward to one day getting married again.
“I love love. I love relationships, I love that whole dynamic, and it’s been something that’s been challenging for me,” he told the outlet in June 2024, adding that marriage is “something I really fantasize about [and] long for in reality.”
“It’s not just a fantasy, it’s something that I long for, but you cannot, everything takes the time that it takes, and I’ve had lots of lessons to learn,” he continued. “You truly must be ready with anything in life that you long for. When you’re ready, it will come.”
