Jason Momoa’s love for Lisa Bonet started when he was a little boy. Her beauty mesmerized him when he watched her on TV, and he even confessed to his mother that he wanted to marry her. This childhood infatuation was not fleeting; it was an obsession that Momoa candidly shared years later on “The Late Late Show” with James Corden.

Momoa’s feelings for Bonet were more than just a childhood crush or love at first sight. He immediately knew that he wanted to pursue her. This dream, once formed, was relentless and unwavering. It continued until 2005, when fate finally brought them together at a jazz club in New York.

Meeting Bonet in person was a dream come true for Momoa. He had been nurturing this crush since he was eight years old, and now, he found himself face-to-face with the woman of his fantasies. Seizing the opportunity, he charmed her with his humor and confidence, convincing her to give him a ride to his hotel.

Before the night was over, they found themselves seated together, sharing drinks, and in those moments, a spark ignited between them. Momoa would later recall looking at her and thinking, “I love her,” as they drank a Guinness that Bonet had ordered. With a playful smile, he confessed to having been smitten to the point of stalking.

However, he chose to keep this amusing detail a secret until years later. He told Corden, “I’m a full-fledged stalker. I didn’t tell her that until we had two babies.” During an interview with Esquire two years later, Momoa shyly confessed about his feelings for Bonet, saying she was his childhood crush. After dating for twelve years, they married on October 7, 2017.

In January 2022, the world was taken aback when Momoa and Bonet announced their separation. The news sent shockwaves through their fanbase and the public alike. Over the years, they had gradually grown apart, their goals and visions for the future diverging.

They clarified in their statement that their intention behind sharing this news was not to create headlines but to ensure they could continue their lives with integrity and respect. They underscored that their love was not diminishing but transforming, adopting new shapes and meanings. They were merely liberating each other to grow into the individuals they were evolving to be.

In the spring of 2022, just a couple of months after Momoa and Bonet announced their separation, Momoa was seen sharing a warm moment with actress Kate Beckinsale at the Academy Awards. The two were seen engrossed in conversation at the post-ceremony Vanity Fair party. Photographs from the event showed Beckinsale wearing Momoa’s jacket, fueling the speculation.

Shortly after, Momoa attended the premiere of Michael Bay’s film, “Ambulance,” in Los Angeles. Here, he addressed the rumors that had been circulating since the Oscars. He clarified that their interaction was simply a friendly chat about England, where he had been filming “Aquaman 2.” He added that lending his jacket to Beckinsale was a gentlemanly gesture as she felt cold.

He firmly dismissed any romantic involvement with Beckinsale, describing their interaction as a display of kindness and chivalry, stating, “Absolutely not, not together.” He humorously added that he would refrain from lending his jacket in the future to avoid any misunderstandings. Later that summer, Momoa was seen in the company of Eiza González, sparking yet another rumor.

Momoa and González were seen enjoying a ride on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle in Malibu, California. The dark-haired González, a renowned Mexican actress and singer, was a teen sensation in her home country. In a 2023 interview, the 34-year-old spoke about the challenges of early fame and its potential to deter young people from pursuing their dreams.

Now an ambassador for Bulgari, González credits her strong work ethic to her upbringing in Mexico City. She shared a saying from her mother, “You’ll rest when you die,” reflecting the relentless drive instilled in her from a young age. In a recent nostalgic moment, González and her mother discovered some Bulgari pieces among family heirlooms at her childhood home.

This led to a poignant realization about her journey from her grandmother’s gift to becoming a brand ambassador herself. González joined the Bulgari family in 2021, a move she describes as deeply personal. She affirmed her ambition and approach to relationships, stating that she seeks partners to help her become a better version of herself.

She expressed her willingness to meet as many people as necessary to find someone who contributes positively to her growth. When González first set foot in Hollywood, she was overwhelmed by self-doubt. Auditioning in English seemed daunting, and she constantly questioned her abilities.

Her experience in soap operas made her wonder how she could transition into the American film industry. She asked herself, “How can I blend myself into being that version of what America thinks I could be?” As her confidence grew, she decided to embrace her uniqueness. Despite her accomplishments, González confesses that she still battles with insecurities.

Initially, she felt the need to fit into a certain mold to succeed, comparing herself to accomplished actresses like Charlize Theron or Natalie Portman. However, she soon realized that she was holding back her true potential. González started to acknowledge her own capabilities. She understood that she was intelligent and well-read and deeply appreciated art.

She was a film buff with a vast knowledge of directors and cinematographers. This self-realization led her to stop suppressing her individuality and celebrate her unique identity in the film industry. Although she was spotted with Momoa, the duo did not address the nature of their relationship as he was legally still with Bonet.

Two years after deciding to part ways, Bonet and Momoa finalized their divorce. The divorce petition points to irreconcilable differences as the root cause of their separation. The couple, who share a daughter, Lola Momoa, and a son, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa, have agreed on the terms of their separation.

Bonet, also a mother to actress Zoë Kravitz from her previous marriage, has requested joint custody of the children and has declined any form of spousal support. Their Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) indicates a mutual understanding and agreement on the division of their assets and the disclosure of their individual incomes.

Bonet and Jason Momoa are content with the arrangement and clearly understand its implications. The MSA grants both parents equal legal custody of their minor children, Lola and Nakoa-Wolf. They will jointly oversee their children’s health, education, and general welfare.
