Sitting just outside his home recording studio on the rural Bahamian island of Eleuthera,Lenny Kravitz— with his chiseled features, towering locks and timeless cool — reveals a shocker: he’s having a tough time in the love department.
“I would really like [to find love],” Kravitz, 54, tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue, opening up about his life now and the rewarding work of his Let Love Rule Foundation. “But it’s difficult for me,” he explains, “being so dedicated to my art, which is not an excuse, it’s just difficult”.

When the “Fly Away” singer is touring the world, “I’m nowhere or I’m everywhere,” he says. And when he’s not, his focus is on serving others in the country he’s called home since he was a kid. This past January, Kravitz’s Let Love Rule foundation and his dentist Jonathan Levine’sGLO Good Foundationbrought free dental care to over 400 Eleuthera locals as part of their annual dental clinic.

Kravitz and Levine’s sons Julian and Cody recently partnered up to launchTwice Toothpaste, with flavors for morning and night to promote better dental hygiene and raise funds to expand the clinic to include medical services for the poverty-stricken island. “It’s the best feeling in the world,” Kravitz says of the work they’re doing.

Now, that love has taken a new form. “We’re like brother and sister,” he says of Bonet, 51, who’s now married toGame of ThronesandAquamanstarJason Momoa, 39, with whom she has daughter, Lola, 11, and son Nakoa-Wolf, 10.
Says Kravitz, “After Lisa and I separated, we learned to find a new relationship. Then I met Jason when they got together and I love him, he loves my kid and I love their kids and we’re all one big family. It’s beautiful.” (Indeed, when the blended clan all gets together it’s easy to mistake them for a gang of supermodels.)
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Kravitz admits he’s still hoping for a forever love of his own — and more importantly, that he’s ready for one.
“I’m at a place now where I’ve been through so many relationships, and I haven’t been good at it all the time, at all. I’ve had a lot to learn, but I feel like I’m at a place where I’m really ready for that.” Sounding hopeful, he adds “things come to you when you’re ready, I believe.”
