Lenny Kravitz is looking forward to his daughter Zoë Kravitz's wedding!

“Hey, man. That's life,” Lenny, 59, told Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet at Thursday evening’s Palm Springs International Film Festival, when asked about 35-year-old Zoë's engagement to 21 Jump Street actor Channing Tatum, 43.

"When your family is happy, when your child is happy, that's it — I've done well. Blessed,” the singer, added.

Multiple sources confirmed Zoë and Tatum’s happy news to PEOPLE towards the end of October 2023. The pair — who were first linked in 2021 — were snapped over Halloween weekend leaving a party with The Batman star — who was dressed as Rosemary Woodhouse from the 1968 horror movie Rosemary's Baby — seemingly showing off her new engagement ring. 

And despite the fact that they’ve kept their relationship largely under wraps, the actress called her man a “wonderful human” in a 2022 interview with fashion title GQ.

"He makes me laugh and we both really love art and talking about art and the exploration of why we do what we do," she explained. "We love to watch a film and break it down and talk about it and challenge each other."

The star added of the actor, "I think if you can do something like that together, it's a good test. And we came out even stronger."

Meanwhile, in her cover interview for WSJ. Magazine's Fall 2022 Women's Fashion issue, Zoë said she was "really grateful that this movie [Pussy Island] ha[d] brought [Tatum] into my life" in a creatively collaborative way.

"When you make things with people it's a very sacred space, and when you're compatible with somebody creatively it often opens up other channels, because you're kind of sharing all of yourself," Zoë explained.
