In this review, we revisit our latest works regarding the description of the gravitational interaction on noncommutative spaces as matrix models. Specifically, inspired by the gauge-theoretic approach of (ordinary) gravity, we make use of the suggested methodology, modified appropriately for the noncommutative framework, of the well-established formulation of gauge theories on them. Making use of a covariant four-dimensional fuzzy space, we formulate the gauge theory with an extended gauge group due to noncommutativity. In turn, in order to decrease the amount of symmetry we employ a symmetry breaking and result with an action which describes a theory that is a minimal noncommutative extension of the original.
