Gayle King was ready to risk it all for Lenny Kravitz during their sit-down interview on ‘CBS Mornings.’ The 69-year-old broadcast journalist didn’t hesitate to let the rockstar know that she was feeling what he was dealing.
On Friday, CBS shared a full clip of King’s exclusive interview with Kravitz. Gayle made sure to ask Lenny about his love life and current relationship status.
“Do you have a significant other in your life? And can I beat her a** if she is? Oops, did I say that out loud?” Gayle told Kravitz.
Kravitz couldn’t help but laugh at Gayle’s remarks, which then he replied, “Right now, I’m just open. It’s hard not to look, when you desire something you’re looking for it, right? But I find that when you don’t look, is when you find it. And I’m at a place where I’ve said this for several years, I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready and I wasn’t ready, I thought I was ready. But I can say that I’ve never felt how I feel now,” Kravitz explained.
Social media users immediately jumped into The Shade Room comment section to share their thoughts on Gayle flirting with Lenny. Several people gave her props for being so bold and shooting her shot at the singer.
Instagram user @_pettyking wrote, “Her intrusive thoughts won.”
Instagram user @marjeth26 wrote, “Auntie Gayle said I’m a Sports Illustrated cover girl stop playing with me Lenny!”

Instagram user @_miawalliss wrote, “Oh Gayle done did her Sports Illustrated cover and got bold! I see you Gayle.”
Then Instagram user @africanwaistline wrote, “How I’m shooting my shot in every area of my life for the rest of the year.”

Along with his love life, Kravitz discussed his new album ‘Blue Electric Light’ and how he feels about turning 60 this month. The ‘American Woman’ artist told Gayle that he’s in the best shape of his life and that he’s ‘never felt more young.”
Kravitz also opened up about his insecurities and how he continues to live an authentic lifestyle. The ‘Fly Away’ musician stated that people always assume he’s confident because of how he looks.
“Sometimes I’m not necessarily sure what is that I’m doing. for some reason. I’m still that 16-year-old kid trying to get the record deal,” Kravitz said.
