Tisha Campbell still considers Lenny Kravitz to be her first love.
The actress recounted her early romance with the rock legend on the Wednesday (Nov. 11) episode of Stepping Into the Shade Room, calling Kravitz her “first boyfriend” and “first everything” around the 45-minute mark of the video below. As Kravitz detailed in his 2020 memoir Let Love Rule, he and Campbell met during a play audition in Los Angeles, and their friendship blossomed into more, albeit being short-lived.
When asked if she would “spin the block,” Campbell said, “Hell no.” “We’re like boys now. That’s my boy.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, Campbell shut down Chris Rock, Taye Diggs and Michael B. Jordan as love interests but called actor Damson Idris “attractive.”
“I’m going to end up with a 23-year-old. I already know it,” she joked. “That’s the only ones that’s hitting on me anyway. But I’m not paying your rent. And you can’t borrow my car.”
Last December, the Martin star shared on former talk show Sherri that she and Kravitz “were kids” when they were romantically involved. “We were like teenagers when we dated. Literal teenagers. 16-year-olds,” she said.
Campbell was married to actor Duane Martin from 1996 to 2020, and the ex-spouses share two sons, Xen, 25, and Ezekiel, 17. Kravitz was married to actress Lisa Bonet from 1987 to 1993 and they share a daughter, 37-year-old Zoë Kravitz.
