What Happened Between Zoë Kravitz And Penn Badgley?

When Penn Badgley and Zoë Kravitz were spotted in New York together in 2011, it looked like the two enjoyed spending time with each other (via InStyle). In fact, the relationship was filled with appreciation and care for each other. CheatSheet reported the two were together for two years and had a long history with one another.

Badgley even met Kravitz's family during the time they were together, which can be quite intimidating. Kravitz's parents are none other than famous musician Lenny Kravitz and legendary actor Lisa Bonet (via IMDb). In 2013, Badgley opened up to Elle about what his relationship with Lenny was like. He shared, "We get along, we talk music." Lenny even took Badgley to a show in Harlem to listen to jazz music. So, it looked like Badgley got the seal of approval from the Kravitz family.

Badgley's relationship with Kravitz grew, even more, when he realized he was in love with her. He told Movieline how he related to his character in the film, "Greetings From Tim Buckley" because he too was in love. He revealed to the outlet, "And being in love, real, true, earth-shattering love — even though it sounds hyperbolic I really was going through it — helped me be as good as I could be." Badgley sounded like he was madly in love with Kravitz and even had her family's approval, so what went wrong between the couple?
