Via Telegraph: When he was 20, Kravitz became aware of some of his father’s secret lives and alerted his mother. “I brought it into the light,” he says. “It was quite intense and heartbreaking. But she knew about things all my life that I didn’t know about. She would tell me stories about having me in her arms – it reminds me of the scene in Goodfellas – and she’d go to another woman’s apartment and ring the bell: “Tell him he has to come down. Stuff like that.” Soon afterwards, his parents split up.

Lenny Kravitz also revealed how he believed his Dad was a tad bit jealous of his and Roxie’s success. Although he had success of his own:

“His wife and son ended up being that thing that he wanted to be. I could understand what it was with other women, because he felt he needed to be The Man. Although he already was the man, and my mother treated him as the man. But in a superficial world, she was the star, and he was not.” – Lenny Kravitz
