Zoë Kravitz is telling no lies about her family dynamic.

The Big Little Lies actress—whose parents Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet separated in 1991—confessed one decision she feels guilty about making after their breakup. While Zoë initially lived with her mom in Santa Monica as her dad toured the world, she chose at age 11 to leave her mom’s “warm” lifestyle in California for the thrill of her dad’s “euphoric” one.

“I think it was very hurtful that I moved away from her to be with my dad,” she told Esquire in an interview published Aug. 15. “And my dad wasn’t even there.”

As Zoë—who is now engaged to Channing Tatum—noted, “I just wish I had been able to appreciate what she was doing for me.”

When living together for the first 10 years of Zoë’s life, Lisa tried to make life at home “inviting” by playing music and being present, according to Zoë. But the Cosby Show actress also imposed a strict vegan diet and had more rules than her rockstar ex—a noticeable and attractive difference.

“It was this whirlwind of a completely different universe,” Zoë, 35, shared about spending time with her father as his career began to skyrocket. “And then I would go home to this really quiet, really simple life.” 

So, after years in California, she moved to Miami, and then New York shortly after, to live full-time with Lenny, but began to notice the stark differences in their parenting styles.

“It wasn’t that my dad didn’t care,” she shared. “He just cared about different things. I definitely found myself in situations I didn't need to be in. You want to grow up so fast, and then you get out there and you realize, ‘Oh s--t.’”

While the Blink Twice director’s appreciation for her mother’s parenting may not have always been present, the trio are all on good terms now.

Zoë, Lenny and Lisa all attended the 2015 Met Gala together and posted an Instagram photo while celebrating Zoë’s 2019 wedding to actor Karl Glusman, who she split from in January 2021.

And following the separation of Lisa and Jason Mamoa in October 2020, Lenny shared an Instagram photo of him with the Aquaman actor in March 2022 with the caption, “Ride or die. Brothers for life.” Zoë swiftly responded by sharing the photo with the words, “Well isn’t this just adorable.”
