Tisha Campbell revealed on the Nov. 11 episode of the digital series “Stepping Into the Shade Room” that she has no interest in rekindling her teenage romance with rock icon Lenny Kravitz, labeling him her first serious partner and a formative figure in her early life.
Appearing on the digital series “Stepping Into the Shade Room,” the 58-year-old actress and singer discussed her history with the “Fly Away” singer. WBLS reported that Campbell described Kravitz as her first boyfriend and first everything, while noting that the two first crossed paths during an audition for a play in Los Angeles.
Kravitz previously detailed their connection in his 2020 memoir, “Let Love Rule,” explaining how an initial friendship evolved into a romantic bond. While that relationship proved short-lived, Campbell said that it shaped her past.
When asked if she would consider dating the rocker again, Campbell offered a definitive response.
“Hell no,” Campbell said. “We’re like boys now. That’s my boy.”
The “Martin” star explained that the pair have transitioned into a platonic friendship over the decades. She previously told daytime host Sherri Shepherd that they were literal teenagers during the relationship.
Campbell, who finalized her divorce from actor Duane Martin in 2020, also addressed her current dating life during the interview. She laughed off suggestions of dating other stars like Chris Rock or Michael B. Jordan, though she admitted to finding “Snowfall” actor Damson Idris attractive.
The actress joked that she often attracts a much younger demographic.
“I’m going to end up with a 23-year-old. I already know it,” Campbell said. “That’s the only ones that’s hitting on me anyway.”
Campbell added a humorous caveat for any potential young suitors, noting clear boundaries regarding financial support. “I’m not paying your rent. And you can’t borrow my car,” she said.
