Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet: what is this colorful married couple like?

“He took off his shirt again. It’s not funny anymore,” critics say about his roles. But Jason Momoa is more than just a mountain of muscles. He is a talented actor, a lover of extreme sports, a collector of guitars and cameras, a devoted husband and a loving father.

When Jason Momoa first appeared on screens as the stern Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones, the internet was flooded with inquiries about his personal life. It was hard to believe, but this example of a real macho man has been in love with one woman all his life - Lisa Bonet. And there are many more questions, because the couple raising two children entered into a marriage only in 2020. The strange and wonderful relationship between Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet still attracts the close attention of fans and haters.

They are so different, and yet they are together

In the photo they look like King Kong and his captive. At the same time, he is a loving, caring father and husband, and they say about Lisa that she has a strong and powerful character. “If she tells me to wash the dishes, I humbly go to the kitchen,” he laughs. Jason is open to the world and gladly shares interesting things on Instagram and YouTube, while Lisa is a rather private person and prefers not to advertise her life. He cannot watch his own love scenes and those in which she starred with other actors. She was delighted with the relationship between Khal Drogo and his wife, played by Emilia Clarke.

Lisa is 12 years older than him, he is now many times more popular than her. How did they even manage to start a family?

Momoa, Zuckerberg, Williams. Celebrities and their wives with non-stereotypical appearance

Often celebrity couples look perfect. Celebrities look incredibly beautiful in joint photographs, star in the same films and surprisingly fit all the standards that the public has formed regarding the appearance and status of each of the lovers. But sometimes it happens that someone decides to go against the “rules” and listen to the sincere call of the heart, no matter what. We made a selection in which we talked about famous people who have significant other - with a very non-stereotypical image.

The brutal actor, known for his roles in the films “Conan the Barbarian,” “Aquaman,” “Game of Thrones” and “Baywatch,” basks in the attention of devoted fans. However, for family life, 40-year-old Jason Momoa chose model and actress Lisa Bonet, who is 12 years older than him.

The appearance of a celebrity's wife quite often becomes a topic of discussion. Many consider the couple one of the most colorful star unions of our time. And some are sure that with such data, Momoa could have found a younger and prettier girl.

Chris Noth and Tara Wilson

Sex and the City star Chris Noth married former waitress Tara Wilson. Interestingly, she worked in a club that belonged to the actor. Having met in 2004, the couple dated for 10 years before getting married. In this, Noth is very similar to his Mr. Big character.

The actor’s fans did not believe until the last minute that he would finally tie the knot with a plump and unknown girl. But, as we see, their meeting turned out to be fateful. The couple is still together.

Jesse Williams and Erin Drake-Lee

Green-eyed, smiling handsome man Jesse Williams became popular after starring in the acclaimed TV series Grey's Anatomy. Before that, he was an ordinary school teacher and sometimes worked as a model. It was then that the actor met Erin Drake-Lee, who was involved in real estate.

When Jesse Williams became a celebrity and began to go out with his chosen one, fans gave her a “debriefing” every time. Five years after their marriage, the couple separated. It is noteworthy that there were no scandals, the spouses simply realized that everyone had their own path in life.

Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant

Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant

Iconic actor Keanu Reeves has been single for almost 20 years. His sad story is known throughout the world. First, the girl she loved lost her child, and two years later she died in a car accident. Only after a huge period of time after the tragedy was Keanu able to move on and open his heart to new feelings.

In 2020, the actor began dating artist Alexandra Grant, who spent several years designing the actor’s books. Reeves admitted that it was she who helped him cope with the loss and move on with his life. Alexandra’s slightly unearthly appearance, her undisguised gray hair and naturalness still confuses many Keanu fans. However, to spite evil tongues, it became known that the couple had secretly gotten engaged. And the actor finally looks really happy with Alexandra.

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan

The love story of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and pediatrician Priscilla Chan is very romantic. They met at one of the student parties when both were still studying. From that moment on, the couple became very close, but for a long time they did not want to advertise their relationship.

Therefore, many girls desperately dreamed of capturing Mark’s heart when his name first gained popularity. But he did not betray the feelings of his beloved girl. In 2012, Zuckerberg and Priscilla had a modest wedding in the backyard of their home.

The disappointment and surprise of everyone who followed the life of the talented programmer was indescribable. Priscilla turned out to be far from the image of the person who seemed worthy of being next to Zuckerberg.

“I will haunt her for the rest of my life.”

Fragile, graceful Lisa Bonet became a star long before Jason began his acting career. For the first time, the future Aquaman saw his chosen one in “The Cosby Show,” where she played Denise, the older sister in the family.

According to Jason, he instantly fell in love and promised his mother that he would definitely get the girl. He was 8, she was 20 and she was dating cool musician Lenny Kravitz.

But Momoa achieved his goal, albeit a little later. Subsequently, in one of his interviews, Jason would call himself “a fully accomplished pursuer,” referring to his attempts to get his queen. Although the story of their relationship did not begin as enchantingly as it might seem.

Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet: a love story

This couple is incredibly sweet and it seems that, despite many years together, there is nothing stronger than their love. Everything you need to know about this relationship.

Jason has been in love with Lisa since childhood

In an interview, Jason said: "When I was 8 years old, I saw her on TV and thought, 'I'll watch you all my life and one day we'll be together.' And so it happened. I didn't tell her about this until we had children. Otherwise it would be very strange. I always wanted to meet her. She is my queen."

They met in a jazz club

Jason and Lisa locked eyes at a jazz club and formed an immediate connection.

"Me and my best friend were sitting in a club, I saw her and she said, 'Hi, I'm Lisa.' It was like fireworks were going off inside me, I couldn’t believe it. We went to a cafe, she ordered Guinness. I took the corn and we drank beer with corn. What happened after is a completely different story.”

They have two super cute kids.

The couple has two children together: daughter Lola and son Nakoa-Wulf. They look exactly the same as their parents.

By the way, he is close with Lenny Kravitz

Before her marriage to Jason, Lisa was in a relationship with the singer of the hit “American Woman,” Lenny Kravitz. The couple secretly married on Lisa's 20th birthday in 1987, and their daughter, Zoe, was born in December 1988.

But if you think that this somehow interferes with their relationship with Jason, you are mistaken. These guys are one big happy family, and Jason and Lenny even have matching rings.

Lisa and Jason's wedding was supposed to remain a secret

Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet became legal husband and wife in 2020 and when news of this broke online, the actor was furious. “I wanted it to be a secret, but someone leaked us and I will find you!” Momoa said. "We've been married 12 years and this is just a reunion of our families and a celebration of our love."

There are 12 years difference between them

Jason is 39 and Lisa is 51.

They starred in a movie together

A still from the film "The Road to Paloma"
Jason was even the director of this film. The film is called “The Path to Paloma” and was released in 2014. The film features a scene of the couple together. "It was a very difficult scene," says Jason. "She doesn't think so, but she really does." The scene may not be perfect, but these two are damn romantic.

“He threw me over his shoulder and dragged me into his cave.”

In 2005, in Los Angeles, they met at a party in the company of mutual friends, where Bonet introduced herself to Jason, causing stupor and numbness in the young actor. “It was like fireworks exploded in my head,” Momoa later admitted. They spent the night together, but not in a hotel, as one might expect, but in a cafe. He ordered appetizers and she ordered Guinness, his favorite beer. He thought she was shining like a star, and she saw in him the power of a caveman.

They both realized that this was love, and from that moment they did not part. Two years later, their daughter Lola was born, and Momoa began calling Lisa his little wife, which gave rise to many rumors about their secret wedding. Imagine the surprise of fans when it became known that the Momoa-Bone couple got married only in 2020!

Momoa Jason

Joseph Jason Namakeaha Momoa is an American actor of Hawaiian descent.

Born in Honolulu (Hawaii) on August 1, 1979. The father is Hawaiian, and the mother has several roots: Indian, German, Irish. The boy's parents divorced at a very early age. The mother took her son and moved to Iowa.

Jason spent his youth in Norwalk. He graduated from high school and went to college. During my senior year, I decided to quit college and move to the Hawaiian Islands. The young man loves the ocean and the beach very much, so he chose a place where he would feel comfortable.

At the age of 19, Jason went to a modeling agency and became a model. Having received the title of Islands Model of the Year, the young man decided to try his hand at cinema. He also graduated from a prestigious college in Honolulu.

The aspiring actor took part in the filming of the TV series “Baywatch.” This series was so popular that the actor received success. But Jason gained wild popularity when he starred in the film “Stargate: Atlantis” and continued to act in it for about 5 more years.

But in 2010, fans and fame doubled when the man appeared in the acclaimed TV series Game of Thrones. He reincarnated as a barbarian under the name Khal Drogo. After this successful role, the actor felt fame. The directors considered the Hawaiian a professional, fans declared their love, and fans were waiting for new projects with Jason. For this role, the actor received an award in Las Vegas at the CinemaCon festival.

The film “The Expendables” also performed well. Jason plays a killer who dies in a fight with the main character.

The actor is one of the filmmakers who has released short films called "Wolves" and "The Road to Paloma."

The actor has already produced more than 30 films. Every year the filmography is replenished with more and more successful projects. He starred in such films as: “Road of Honor”, “Border”, “Bad Batch”, “Justice League”, “Wild”, etc.

In 2020, the actor can be seen in the TV series “See”, where he played the warrior Baba Voss.

In his personal life, the actor is stable, as well as in his profession. Since 2017, Jason has been married to actress Lisa Bonet. Their romance lasted 12 years before they legalized their relationship. The chosen one is 12 years older than Jason. It is known that Lisa Bonet was married to musician Lenny Kravitz and in this marriage a daughter, Zoe, was born.

Jason and Lisa met at a jazz club. And from that moment on they did not part. In 2007, the couple had a daughter, and in 2008 a son was born. The lovers got married in 2020. The event was for the closest and dearest. Jason is sure that he found in his beloved wife everything he was missing.

The actor is active on the social network Instagram.

Full biography can be read on Wikipedia.

Secret wedding

Jason and Lisa exchanged vows at their home in Topanga, California on October 2, 2020. The ceremony was modest. Only the couple's children, Lisa's ex-husband Lenny Kravitz, their common daughter Zoe and several Hollywood celebrities were present. The couple has identical rings, made exclusively to order. A family friend noted that Lisa was incredibly beautiful that day, and the ceremony was touching. The guests even danced a ritual dance of the New Zealand Maori people - haka - in honor of the groom.

Friendship with Lenny Kravitz

Lisa's ex-husband, Lenny Kravitz, remained a friend of the actress even after their separation. This is not surprising - Lenny and Lisa have a daughter, the beautiful Zoe Kravitz. So Momoa faced a test in the form of an adult child and the first husband of his beloved woman. However, thanks to his Hawaiian charm, the actor was able to win Zoe's trust and quickly become friends with Lenny.

Jason was able to unite two families and give happiness to all its members. Lenny Kravitz himself admits that he became attached to the huge Hawaiian as a brother. Momoa and Kravitz also have paired rings made in the form of skulls - a symbol of their friendship.

Former but present

Musician Lenny Kravitz congratulated his ex-wife on her new marriage. Their marriage broke up a long time ago, but they managed to maintain good relations. Moreover, Lenny became a true friend of Jason, who even gave his “rival” a gift in the form of exclusive handmade jewelry. Lisa herself calmly attends social events with her ex-husband if her own is busy filming. Momoa often says that he, Lisa, their children, Lenny and Lisa's daughter from her first marriage, Zoe, are a real big family. One can only envy such a warm relationship.

Personal life

For the first time, Lisa Bonet walked down the aisle at the age of 20: the wedding ceremony took place on Lisa’s birthday in Las Vegas. The actress's husband was the legendary musician Lenny Kravitz, who was 3 years older than his wife. This marriage produced a daughter, Zoe Isabella. The couple lived together for 6 years, but the marriage collapsed. Lisa and Lenny broke up, maintaining friendly communication for the sake of their daughter.

Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz

The actress remained alone for a long time. Rumors about the beauty's short affairs flared up in the tabloids, but Lisa was able to meet her fate only 12 years after her divorce from Kravitz.

Jason Momoa saw Lisa Bonet at a Hollywood party in 2005. He didn't dare approach the star he fell in love with as a child while watching The Cosby Show. Bonet herself took the first step towards the timid young man (Momoa is 12 years younger than the actress).

By that time, Jason had made a career as a model - he was noticed by the world famous couturier Takeo. In 1999, the islander won the Hawaii Model of the Year title. At the same time, his acting career began: Momoa starred in two seasons of Baywatch and in 2005 received an invitation to play Ronon Dex in Stargate. Lisa Bonet seemed to the young man an unattainable star: he blushed and was speechless next to her.

Lisa and Jason have been together since that party. They look funny: the husband is 1.93 meters tall, the wife is 1.57. After 2 years, the couple had a daughter, who was named Lola Iolani, and a year and a half later, Lisa Bonet gave birth to a boy. The baby was given the Hawaiian name Nakoa Wolf Manakauapo Namakeaha Momoa. Photos of the family appear on the couple’s Instagram pages.

Lisa Bonet with children

Lisa Bonet's daughter from her first marriage, Zoe Kravitz, took the best from her parents. She is an actress, model and singer. Her stepfather Jason Momoa also takes part in the girl’s life, mentoring and helping with advice.

Zoya's filmography is twice as long as her mother's. In 2020, Kravitz starred in the black comedy “Very Bad Girls,” and in 2018, the second season of the fantasy film “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” directed by David Yates will be released.

They have the same “drunk” tattoos

Jason Momoa doesn't often appear in public with his stepdaughter. This is understandable; Zoe Kravitz is a very sought-after actress and model. But Jason always says he's proud of his stepdaughter, and Zoe calls him "Daddy Bear," which proves the two have a great relationship.

In 2016, Zoe, Jason and his Game of Thrones co-star Jamie Sives (who played Jory Cassel) got matching tattoos, Etre toujours ivre, which translated from French means “you should always be drunk.” And although from the outside it seems that a tattoo about drunkenness, made by a couple with a stepfather, looks strange, in fact it is just a line from the poem “Get drunk!” Charles Baudelaire on the intoxication of life or poetry. Jason did everything to become not just a stepfather, but also a close friend for Zoe, which only proves that he and Lisa made excellent parents.

They have "drunk" tattoos

Momoa sports some pretty impressive ink all over his perfectly trim body, and the Justice League star even shares a matching tattoo with Bonet and her daughter, Zoë, according to Hollywood.com. The ink reads "Etre toujours ivre" on the forearms, and, according to Essence magazine, it translates from French as "to be always drunk." Um, okay. Drink up and all that.

Momoa and Zoe aren't often photographed together, so we're glad to hear that they have a surprising bond that includes some constant ink. However, we are puzzled by the meaning. We guess they can always claim that verbiage means being "drunk in love" as a nod to the Beyoncé song, but something tells us Momoa's love of Guinness may be the catalyst for their body art compliance.

To make this tattoo situation even weirder, another unidentified person who interacts with the Aquaman star has the exact same words tattooed on his forearm. Welcome to Hollywood, my friends.

They don't even have a TV

An amazing fact is that while they were actors and appeared on screens big and small, Jason and Lisa abandoned television in their own home in order to raise their children as free from its influence as possible. According to Lisa, parents should promote the development of children's imagination, and not fill it with ready-made garbage from the screen. Bonet herself does not favor new technologies. She doesn’t even have a Facebook page because it’s “just not her thing.” But they still have a computer and an outlet and the Internet. Lisa and her hubby watch The Saturday Night Show together, and Jason is an active user of social networks, including Instagram, where he happily shares details of his colorful life with fans. He not only plays roles in films and TV series, but also sits in the director's chair, engages in extreme sports, takes great photos and plays the guitar. No wonder his children try to be like him.

“Teachers will have a hard time”

The couple unusually named their first daughter Lola Iolani. Jason’s mother, Kony Momoa, explained on the actor’s official page that her granddaughter’s middle name means “royal hawk,” and it owes its appearance to a couple of hawks circling above the house when the baby was born. But Lola's name is quite simple compared to her little brother's name: Nako-Wulf Manakahuapo Namakaeha. And again, the caring grandmother hastened to explain such an unusual name. The boy was born during a storm, at night, so his name contains words from the Hawaiian language, reflecting the circumstances of his birth. "Nakoa" - warrior, "mana" - strength and spirit, "kaua" - rain, "po" - darkness. The parents joked that the boy’s teachers would be very unlucky when they had to remember such a long and sonorous name. By the way, Jason's name is Joseph Jason Namakeaha Momoa. His father Joseph is Hawaiian, but Kony’s mother has mixed German, Irish and Indian blood.

Jason Momoa: biography, personal life, children

Joseph Jason Namakeaha Momoa was born on August 1, 1979 in Honolulu into a creative family: Joseph Momoa, his father is an artist, and his mother, Kony Momoa, is a photographer. Jason owes his appearance to the mixture of the blood of his father - an ethnic Hawaiian - and his mother with German, Irish and Indian roots. Later, the actor and his mother moved to Iowa, where he spent his childhood and youth. Unlike many actors who showed an interest in theater and cinema from childhood, Jason was interested in other things: travel, painting, sports. He also became seriously interested in Buddhism when he was in Tibet, and now religion occupies a very large part of his life. In college, Momoa studied biology, and after studying in 1998, he returned to Hawaii, where one day he was noticed by designer Takeo Kikuchi. He invited Jason to become a model, and from that moment his career began. In 1999, the future actor became Hawaii Model of the Year. The same year, Momoa made his debut in the series “Baywatch.”

In 2005, Jason met actress Lisa Bonet. Two years later, the couple had a daughter, whom they named Lola Iolani Momoa. And in 2008, Lisa gave birth to a boy, Nakova-Wolfe Manakauapo Namakea Momoa.

Together forever?

Bonet and Momoa survived the most difficult of trials - the test of glory. At first she was a star, and he was just a model with an exotic appearance. His role in “Baywatch” almost put an end to his future career, because the directors did not take the young actor with such a dubious track record seriously, but Momoa showed up for the “Game of Thrones” casting and danced the haku - the dance of rage, which amazed the casting director and secured the role of Khal Drogo. And so he suddenly becomes a star, and she stars in TV series. She hides from the cameras, and he tells the whole world stories from his life. But at the same time, they stay together, support each other and sincerely believe that they have a great future. Lisa appears in films directed by her husband. Jason regularly appears at all charity events that his wife organizes. They are a great team, a loving family and wonderful parents. And the story of their relationship is a little strange, but so romantic.

Their son may have the longest name

After Lisa Bonet legally changed her name to Lilakoi Moon in 1993 "in honor of my personal life outside of it," we weren't too surprised when she and Momoa gave their daughter the unconventional name Lola Iolani after her birth in 2007 .

Momoa's mom made the announcement on the actor's now-defunct website (via People), saying that the middle name, Iolani, meant "king hawk" and was chosen because "at the time of birth, there were hawks flying around [overhead]."

Two years later, Momoa and Bonet welcomed a baby boy into their family, and they upped the ante when it came to giving him a unique and one-of-a-kind name. Access Hollywood (via the New York Daily News) reported that the newborn was crowned Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha. Try saying this name three times fast!
