In January 2022, actress Lisa Bonet (California, 56 years old) and actor Jason Momoa (Hawaii, 44 years old) announced their separation. “We free each other to be what we learn to become,” wrote the interpreter who plays Aquaman in a joint statement on his Instagram profile (where he has more than 17 million followers), after four years of marriage and 17 years together. It was also in January, but in the recently released year 2024, when Bonet officially filed for divorce. According to court documents obtained by American media such as People and Page Six, it was the former star of The Bill Cosby Hour who decided to file for dissolution of the marriage and set the date of separation as October 7th 2020 stated it was almost a year and a half before they announced that they were no longer together. He referred to irreconcilable differences.
Bonet and Momoa have two children together: Lola, 16, and Nakoa-Wolf, 15. She is also the mother of actress Zoë Kravitz (35), the result of her first marriage to singer Lenny Kravitz – who Momoa calls “a Brother” for him. In the documents he submitted to the judge, Bonet is demanding joint custody of the children and no spousal support for both parties, according to US media.

“We have all felt the pressures and changes of these transformative times… A revolution is underway and our family is no exception… we feel and are growing from the seismic changes that are taking place,” the couple announced in the statement it this publicized the end of their relationship. They did it not because they believed “it was newsworthy,” as they themselves made clear, but so that they could do it “with dignity and honesty” as their lives continued. Despite everything, they assured their fans that there was “nothing but love” between them and that their main priority was raising their children together. So much love and so many kind words for each other fueled rumors of a possible reconciliation, but Momoa already made it clear during an interview with Access Hollywood in March 2022, during the Oscars, that they would not get back together. “We haven't gotten back together and we won't get back together, but we are family forever,” he clarified.
The couple began a relationship in 2005. More than a decade later – and despite calling each other husband and wife for years – they secretly married in October 2017. For Momoa, the relationship was a dream come true after she first fell in love with Bonet in 1987 when he was an eight-year-old boy and she, at 20, was starring in “The Bill Cosby Hour.” “I thought, 'Mommy, I want that,'” the interpreter James Corden confessed in a 2017 interview. He had to wait many years, but the “Game of Thrones” and “Dune” actor finally met his future wife in 2005 at the Los Angeles jazz club and she reciprocated his crush when they welcomed their first child together two years later world brought. The actor described Bonet to Esquire in 2019 as “literally my childhood love” and said that if he could marry her, anything was possible.
They also met at work. In 2014, after nearly a decade of dating, the two stars starred in the film Road to Paloma, which Momoa co-wrote, produced and directed. They made their red carpet debut as husband and wife in November 2017 during the Justice League premiere in Los Angeles. The last time they walked through one together was in February 2020, during the Tom Ford AW20 show in Hollywood, although no one knew it would be like that at the time.
