Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet, once considered one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples, surprised fans when they announced their separation in January 2022 after nearly 16 years together. The couple shares two children, daughter Lola Iolani and son Nakoa-Wolf, and has remained committed to co-parenting despite parting ways romantically. Momoa, known for his rugged charisma and standout roles in Baywatch Hawaii, Game of Thrones, and as Aquaman in the DC Extended Universe, has made it a priority to shield his children—especially 17-year-old Lola—from the pressures of the entertainment industry, even as she expresses interest in following in her parents’ footsteps.

Momoa’s rise to fame began somewhat unexpectedly at the age of 19 when he landed a role on Baywatch Hawaii. From there, his career took off with significant roles in Stargate: Atlantis and Game of Thrones, ultimately leading to his blockbuster success as Aquaman. In 2014, he expanded into filmmaking by directing and co-writing Road to Paloma, which he starred in alongside Bonet. The couple’s love story began in 2004 and culminated in marriage in 2017, although Momoa had long considered Bonet his life partner even before they officially wed. Their separation was attributed to shifting life priorities and career trajectories, with Momoa’s fame skyrocketing while Bonet stepped away from the spotlight.

After announcing their split, both Momoa and Bonet stressed their continued love for each other and, above all, their dedication to their children. Although brief rumors of a reconciliation emerged, Momoa later clarified that while they remained a family, they were not rekindling their romance. In the months that followed, Momoa was linked to actress Eiza González, though sources described the relationship as casual. Despite changes in his romantic life, Momoa has consistently demonstrated unwavering devotion to his children, often posting heartfelt tributes and candid moments with them on social media.

His bond with daughter Lola is particularly strong, as she frequently joins him at events and possesses a natural Hollywood charm. While Lola has shown interest in acting, Momoa has expressed concern about her entering the industry too soon, citing its demanding nature and the toll it can take on young talent. He prefers that his children explore other options first, though he supports them if their passion is genuine. His protective attitude reflects the deep care he has for their emotional and personal development, a sentiment echoed by those who’ve worked closely with him, including co-star Isabela Merced.

Despite the personal transitions in his life, Jason Momoa continues to embrace fatherhood with enthusiasm and love. From taking his children to film premieres and concerts to involving them in social and environmental causes, he remains deeply engaged in their lives. Whether or not Lola pursues acting, she will have to navigate her journey alongside a father who cherishes her and is determined to protect her from the harsher sides of fame. As Momoa moves forward post-separation, his unwavering commitment to his family remains at the center of his life.
