Cynthia Bailey recently opened up about a memorable encounter she had with
Lenny Kravitz, hinting at what could have been! During a live taping of Two Ts in a Pod, hosted by Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge on November 1 at the iHeartRadio Theater in Burbank, California, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 57, recounted how the Grammy-winning rocker, 60, got her number but never followed up.
Bailey explained that she met Kravitz at Mick Jagger’s star-studded 80th birthday celebration in London last July. It was a glamorous night, packed with celebrity attendees, and it was none other than Jagger himself who introduced Bailey to Kravitz. Bailey confessed she had long admired Kravitz and had often joked about him over the years, calling him her “celebrity crush.” “I’ve talked about him for the last five years,” she admitted with a smile, adding that finally meeting him in person was a surreal experience.
Despite her excitement, Bailey tried to play it cool. “I didn’t really feel any sparks,” she confessed, noting that Kravitz was “really nice” but didn’t seem particularly interested. However, he did ask Jagger’s fiancée for her number—a detail that made her think there might be something more.
Mellencamp couldn’t help but ask if Kravitz had requested anyone else’s number at the party, sparking a laugh from Bailey, who replied with a good-natured joke: “Apparently so. He didn’t use my damn number!” Although the flirtation didn’t lead anywhere, Bailey’s story quickly captured fans’ imaginations, especially given her history of high-profile relationships. And while Kravitz may not have made the call, Bailey’s experience added a fun, unexpected twist to her summer memories. The playful interaction also gave podcast listeners a peek into Bailey’s lighthearted and candid approach to romance, keeping fans entertained with her openness and humor.
