Lenny Kravitz is explaining why hes been celibate for some time now.

In an in-depth interview for The Guardian , the rock star revealed that hes been abstaining from sex outside of marriage and how he hasnt been in a relationship for nine years.

Talking about why hes looking for more than a short-term, physical connection, Kravitz called his decision a spiritual thing.

The star, who was married to actor Lisa Bonet from 1987 to 1993, also admitted that hes gotten comfortable being on his own in the nearly decade since hes been in a relationship.

I have become very set in my ways, in the way I live, he said.

Elsewhere in the interview, Kravitz spoke about how seeing father Sy Kravitz cheat on his mother, actor Roxie Roker, impacted the way he sees relationships.

Remembering how he once confronted his dad after hearing him on the phone with another woman, the Hunger Games star said he was told infidelity was all but inevitable.
