Lisa Bonet’s Sanctuary
Their house has become much more than a property, it is Bonet’s “sanctuary”. Bonet moved into the house in 2003 with her beloved daughter, Zoë Kravitz, and ever since then has been creating a serene and fun environment for their growing family.
The laidback couple decorated their entry gate with colorful Tibetan prayer flags and pebble and bean mandalas along the path. But more importantly, there are tons of entertainment units for everyone to enjoy, including an ax-throwing wall, climbing wall, skate ramp, and even a Native-American style teepee. As great as it is to have such a fun home, how did Zoë feel about welcoming a whole new family?
There’s No Need for Blood, Just Ink
It’s not always easy welcoming a new step-dad and two new half-siblings into your home. However, Zoë Kravitz and Jason Momoa have a very special bond and are clearly very close with each other. Just check out either one of their social media pages; it’s heart-warming to see how much they love and support each other!
There’s no need for blood to connect the two of them, just ink. Momoa definitely earned the title of “the cool dad” and has a matching tattoo with Kravitz on their forearms. “Etre toujours ivre,” meaning “be always drunk”. How does Lenny Kravitz, Zoë’s father, factor into all of this, though?
One Big Happy Ohana
With all the rumors flying around about the couple, you would think there would also be some beef with Lisa Bonet’s ex-husband Lenny Kravitz. But alas, their relationship is wonderfully cordial. Kravitz once even posted a black and white photo of himself hugging and laughing with Jason Momoa. The post caption reads: “Happy birthday brother. Love and respect always. Ohana ’til the end.”
“Ohana” refers to the Hawaiian word for “family”, and this sure seems like a big happy one! And apparently, birthdays aren’t the only holiday they celebrate together.
Celebrating Holidays Together
Both Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet get along very well with Lenny Kravitz. On their IG accounts, Kravitz and Momoa are constantly praising each other and posting photos of the two together. In 2015, Ocean Drive Magazine interviewed Zoë about the relationship between her dad and her mother’s new family.
She mentioned, “my dad loves and is close with my brother and sister … It’s really beautiful. As long as everyone can be in the same room together, and have love for each other, it’s totally healthy.” Things are so good with everyone that they actually have celebrated Thanksgiving together, too!
Splitting Up with Kravitz
Although things are now amicable between Bonet and her ex-husband Lenny Kravitz, it wasn’t an easy process for Bonet. Lisa Bonnet has decided to take a step away from Hollywood and do some soul-searching. It wasn’t just about her fame and career though, the root of this spiritual phase bloomed from her split and divorce with Lenny Kravitz.
She told Entertainment News it was “a very accelerated time, spiritually and intellectually,” since she had the fear of passing the “fresh wound of a divorce” on to Zoë, her daughter. Bonet had the courage to do something for herself that most people might be too afraid of.
Who is Lilakoi Moon?
The early ‘90s was a time for soul-searching and healing for Bonet. While Lenny Kravitz used his heartache to write his album, Mama Said, Bonet actually tried to shy away from the spotlight and keep her privacy. During her healing process, she tried to individualize and reconnect to herself.
Bonet was strong enough to realize what she needed and to act on it. From the process, she decided to legally change her name to something that felt more like her. She chose “Lilakoi Moon”. If she prefers to be named Lilakoi Moon, then why do people still refer to her as “Lisa Bonet”?
