Gayle King Shoots Her Shot at Lenny Kravitz in Viral Interview Moment

Lenny Kravitz swept Gayle King off her feet in a new CBS Morning interview, and the journalist turned up the heat when she got flirty at one point during their conversation.

“Asking for a friend, is there love in your life right now? Do you have a significant other in your life? And can I beat her a— if she is?,” King said to Kravitz, to which the rockstar laughed and said, “Wow.”

Gayle continued, “Oops, did I say that out loud? I’m non-violent Lenny Kravitz!”

To answer her question, Kravitz admitted, “I’m just open. […] It’s hard not to look. When you desire something, you’re looking for it. I find that when you don’t look, you find it. I’m at a place where — I’ve said this for several years — I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready. I wasn’t ready, right? I can say that I’ve never felt how I feel now.”

On his confidence, the rockstar shared, “It’s a constant journey, but I feel great.”

Kravitz is fresh off the release of his new album, Blue Electric Light, which arrived on Friday (May 24) via Roxie Records/BMG. The project was written and recorded by Kravitz in his studio in the Bahamas, and features the previously-released cuts “Paralyzed,” “TK421” and “Human.” The collection, he told Jimmy Fallon for a late-night interview that aired in March, is about “celebration, life, humanity, sexuality, sensuality, spirituality.” Blue Electric Light is “just that vibration of love, of god, of spirit.”
