Lenny Kravitz approves of his daughter's new romance with Harry Styles

A source told PEOPLE: "Friends of Lenny say he is very protective of Zoe, but it really seemed like he enjoyed meeting Harry. From what people could tell, he thought Harry was polite, down to earth and genuinely interested in getting to know the family.

"Lenny has always wanted Zoe to be with someone who respects her, and it looked like he felt Harry does. They were laughing a lot at lunch, and it came across that Lenny appreciated Harry's sense of humour. He likes when someone can keep things light."

Lenny, Harry, 31 and Zoe, 36, enjoyed a lunch outing at Sant Ambroeus in Manhattan's SoHo and Lenny is "all for" the new romance.

The insider added: "Lenny's not the type to rave, but the vibe was that he was comfortable with Harry and for Lenny, that says a lot.

"At the end of the day, what matters most to him is seeing Zoe with someone who really appreciates her. He's not the type to meddle, and from the way friends saw it, if Harry keeps treating Zoe this way, Lenny's all for it."

Zoe and Harry were first linked when they were spotted on a romantic stroll together in Rome last month and they have since enjoyed a trip to New York together.

Harry's last serious relationship was with actress Taylor Russell, who he split from in May 2024.

Zoe divorced actor Karl Glusman in August 2021, while she and actor Channing Tatum called time on their year-long engagement in October 2024.

She was most recently linked to Caught Stealing co-star Austin Butler.
