Lenny Kravitz revealed he's waiting for the right woman.

Kravitz, 60, hasn't been in a serious relationship for nine years and is sticking to his decision to remain celibate until he finds the right person.

"It’s a spiritual thing," he told The Guardian.

However, Kravitz believes he might struggle in a relationship after nine years of being single.

"I have become very set in my ways, in the way I live," he told the outlet.

He's still looking for the right woman though.

"It's hard not to look," Kravitz revealed during a recent appearance on "CBS Mornings." "You know when you desire something, you're looking for it, right? But I find that when you don't look is when you find it.

"And I'm at a place where I've said this for several years, ‘I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready,'" he added. "I wasn't ready. I thought I was ready, right? But I can say that I've never felt how I feel now."

Kravitz first spoke openly about celibacy in 2008.

"[It's] just a promise I made until I get married," he told Maxim at the time. "Where I'm at in life, the women have got to come with something else, not just the body, but the mind and spirit.

"It usually trips them out, but that's the way it's going to be," Kravitz added. "I'm looking at the big picture."
