Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa are one step closer to their ultimate “freedom.”
“The Cosby Show” alum has finally filed for divorce from the “Aquaman” actor, two years after they announced their split in January 2022.
According to new court documents obtained by TMZ, Bonet, 56, has asked the judge to dissolve the marriage. The ex-partners were together for twelve years and married for almost five years.
The actress gives the date of separation as October 7, 2020.
The couple share a daughter, Lola Iolani Momoa, 16, and a son, Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa, 15.
The “High Fidelity” star is seeking joint custody of the minors, but is not asking for spousal support.
The couple originally announced their separation in a joint statement on Instagram.

“We have all felt the pressures and changes of these changing times,” the couple said at the time. “A revolution is underway and our family is no exception…It feels the seismic changes and grows from it.”
“And so we break the news to our family that we are parting ways. We share this not because we think it is newsworthy, but so that we can live our lives with dignity and honesty.”
“The love between us continues and evolves in a way that it wants to be known and lived,” they added. “We free each other to be who we want to become,” the statement continued. “Our unwavering devotion to this holy life and our children. Teaching our children what is possible. Living the prayer. May love prevail.”

Momoa and Bonet began dating in 2005 after meeting through mutual friends at a jazz club and bonding over a shared love of Guinness. However, the “Dune” star said he first fell in love with Bonet when he saw her on “The Cosby Show.” ”
“Ever since I was 8 years old, I saw her on TV and thought, 'Mommy, I want that,'” he joked to James Corden on “The Late Late Show” in November 2017. “I thought, ‘I’m going to chase you for the rest of my life and get you.’ I just always wanted to meet her and she was always the queen.”
The couple secretly married in October 2017, but the news soon went public.

“Some people leaked it,” he told Entertainment Tonight after the news broke. “You know what, I've been married to my wife for 12 years. It’s simply a gathering of our families and celebrating our love.”
Bonet also has daughter Zoë Kravitz with ex-husband Lenny Kravitz.
After the split was announced in 2022, Momoa told the press that he and Bonet were still a family as he showed up at the premiere of “The Batman” that same year to support his stepdaughter.
“Lisa couldn't be here, so we're filling in for me and the babies,” the actor said while speaking to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet. “We’re really happy just to be here. … It’s still a family, you know?”
