They should have grown old together: why Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet broke up

“Girls, come on!” – such comments from Internet users were spiced up by the news of the divorce of Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet. Of course, there were other kinds of comments. “And then how to believe in love?” fans of the couple exclaimed. And indeed, a very beautiful and seemingly solid connection that lasted almost two decades broke up. But what happened?

Momoa and Bonet’s love story began long before their romance began. Many years ago, 8-year-old Jason saw Lisa Bonet in a popular sitcom in the 1980s, after which he vowed to meet her by all means. Hardly said than done. Their meeting took place after 18 years.

Lisa and Jason met at a mutual friend’s party in 2005. Momoa was then a little-known actor, despite her role in Baywatch, while Bonet was known to everyone – as a talented actress, star of the sitcom The Cosby Show, and as the ex-wife of Lenny Kravitz.

For Jason, it was the most fateful meeting of all possible, because he had dreamed of meeting Lisa since he was 8 years old. Overwhelmed by the excess of feelings, he was unable to utter a few phrases. But it seems that was not necessary.

At that time, Momoa was not free: he met Simone Jade McKinnon, but this fact no longer mattered. Like the age difference between him and Lisa, exactly 12 years. That same evening, Momoa and Bonet went to the nearest bar for drinks, after which they were inseparable.

When the public learned about this relationship, many made fun of the lovers, noting that these relationships were unlikely to last long. She is a big star and he is her young admirer. Well, are they on their way?

Contrary to popular belief, the two were very happy. Bonet joked in her interviews that her husband, like a real caveman (Jason Momoa is 193 cm tall and Lisa Bonet is only 157 cm), literally threw her over his shoulder and pulled her into his life. The actress noted why she chose Jason: According to her, Momoa is a generous leader, which is rarely seen in men today.

Already in July 2007, they became parents to a daughter, Lola Iolani, and a year and a half later, a son, Nakoa-Wolf Manakoapo Namakeaha, was born.

Jason and Lisa managed to build a really strong family. Momoa has a great relationship with stepdaughter Zoe Kravitz and even Bonet’s ex-husband Lenny Kravitz. The former and current husbands of the actress get along well and even exchange gifts at important meetings. And Zoe, for one, notes that Jason is an amazing stepfather (they have couple tattoos, by the way).

And in 2017, 12 years after the beginning of their relationship, Jason and Lisa decided to get married. The couple had a secret wedding in Topanga, California. The couple spoke about the important event only a few months later, noting that the wedding was just another opportunity to meet relatives and friends, and they consider themselves husband and wife for a very long time.

I bet you didn’t know these stars were related

Lisa and Jason formed a harmonious union. These two were comfortable both in life and work. For example, when Momoa made his directorial debut, he directed the drama “Road of Honor” with his wife in the title role.

Spouses devote a lot of time to children, which is why they are rare guests at social events and red carpets. Bonet admitted that her husband is characterized by sensitivity and empathy, and it is very important for him to spend a lot of time with his family. The couple lived in a suburban Los Angeles homestead that also had many animals, such as two half wolves, half malamutes and a donkey named Freya.

Lisa and Jason instilled in their children a love of nature: for example, there is no television and only one computer in the house, so the family prefers to spend their free time outdoors, hiking, surfing and other sports.

In one of her interviews, Lisa told an interesting story: her son once remarked that the main goal of his life was to protect Mother Earth. “My job (as a parent) is over,” the actress commented on her son’s dream not without pride.

Lisa and Jason were one of those couples who didn’t get news every week. All because they lived quietly, peacefully. Of course, the harmony and idyll in the couple’s relationship did not give rest to many, so rumors about their breakup appeared as soon as something could be hung up.

For example, at the Barbara Conan premiere, Momoa was kissed by Charmed star Rose McGowan. The photos immediately spread across the internet, sparking rumors that Jason was cheating on his wife and that their high-profile divorce was imminent. Of course, such rumors always remained just rumors.

And yet, almost 17 years later, something went wrong. On January 13, 2022, Bonet and Momoa publicly announced their divorce. “We have all felt the winds of change in this transformative time. A real revolution is underway and our family is no exception. We inform you that we have now decided to part ways so that we can move on in life with honor and dignity. The love between us continues, develops as it wants to be lived. We free each other to become what we learn to be,” the former couple said in a statement.

What happened inside this couple remains a mystery. But something tells us that this breakup will be similar to their relationship – quiet, calm, full of love and respect for each other. Ex-spouses are unlikely to start airing their dirty laundry in public after a while.

The network is already speculating what caused the lovers to break up. One of the most popular versions does not talk about betrayal at all. Internet users think that Jason Momoa has outgrown this relationship: they say that he met Lisa when he was young and in some ways immature. Over the years, next to his wife, more mature, wiser, braver, he understood himself, and perhaps became cramped in these relationships. And Bonet, a wise woman, let her husband swim free.
