Momoa is best known for his starring role in the 2018 film, “Aquaman” in which he appeared opposite Amber Heard. The two reprised their roles in the movie sequel five years later in 2023.
Momoa has also starred alongside actors such as Vin Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, and Gal Gadot, in the blockbuster franchise, “Fast X.”
Aside from his thriving Hollywood career, the movie actor’s love life has also captured the public’s attention through the years. That is because he has been romantically linked to some famous women.
Momoa was once married to “The Cosby Show” actress, Lisa Bonet, and together, they made a formidable pair in the public eye. The former couple first started dating in 2005 after being introduced by mutual friends.

At the time, Bonet, who is 12 years older than Momoa, was a single mother raising her then-teenage daughter Zoë Kravitz, whom she shares with ex-husband Lenny Kravitz.

Momoa has since established meaningful relationships with both his stepdaughter and her father through his romance with Bonet. He calls her “Zozo bear” and she, in turn, calls him “Papa bear.” Momoa has also expressed his deep admiration for his stepchild’s father which has equally been reciprocated.

The “Baywatch” alum and Bonet walked down the aisle in October 2017. They welcomed two children together, daughter Lola and son Nakoa-Wolf, who are teenagers now.

In a 2018 interview, Momoa gushed about his marriage with Bonet, stating how much of a humorous relationship they had. “Not a lot of people know how absolutely hysterical she is. She makes me laugh and is just really quirky,” he divulged.

The Hawaii native also praised the mother of three for being an adoring parent, saying, “My wife is amazing. Her ultimate art form is being a phenomenal mother.” Momoa described him and Bonet as a “perfect fit.”

However, after 16 years together — including four years of marriage, the Hollywood couple announced in a joint statement that they were parting ways in January 2022.
They said, “We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times… A revolution is unfolding and our family is of no exception… feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring.”
“The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived. We free each other to be who we are learning to become,” the duo added. Momoa and Bonet’s breakup sent shockwaves among their fans, and an insider later revealed what led to their split.

“Jason is very focused on his career and wants to work. He has found success and it’s driving him and is very fulfilling. Lisa wants to be in LA and is not interested in going on location for long periods of time with him,” the source disclosed.

According to the insider, Bonet’s priorities changed as she now had her focus on health and wellness, which motivated her. And because Momoa’s lifestyle did not match hers, they ultimately drifted apart and began to seek different things.

Two years after announcing their split, Bonet officially filed for divorce in January 2024. She cited irreconcilable differences and listed the date of separation as October 2020.

The Superior Court of California granted the divorce filing a day after Bonet filed for the dissolution of the former couple’s marriage. The duo had reportedly worked out the terms of their divorce before filing, as they were awarded joint custody of their kids with no child or spousal support.

Following the divorce, Momoa briefly dated Mexican singer and actress Eiza Gonzalez, and they broke up in June 2022. A source revealed that the two are different people, while another shared that they hoped to work things out.
The insider added that although they sincerely loved each other while keeping their romance low-key for some time, they were in different stages in their lives.
Since the breakup, Momoa has found love again with another well-known Hollywood figure. While at a Comic Con festival in Basingstoke, England, in May 2024, a fan asked him whether he was single.
“I’m very much in a relationship,” Momoa admitted, adding that he was enjoying the privacy of his secret romance. He did not reveal who he was dating then. However, the film star teased that the woman who had stolen his heart would be revealed soon.
Later that month, he posted photos from his visit to Japan featuring some of his pals on motorcycles and one female among the group. Momoa expressed that being in the Asian country was a dream come true.
“We’re so thankful for everyone who opened their homes, making memories with new friends and old friends, sharing another amazing adventure with mi amor,” he captioned the post.
This was when the “Game of Thrones” actor went public with his relationship with his new love, Puerto Rican actress Adria Arjona. Arjona, who is 12 years younger than him, appeared in several shots of his post, and in one, she was smiling while sitting on his lap.

While it remains unclear when the couple started dating, they did star opposite each other in the 2021 film, “Sweet Girl.” The pair play husband and wife in the movie as he vows to seek justice for those responsible for her death.
Arjona has also appeared in several movies including, “Pacific Rim: Uprising,” “Hit Man,” “Father of the Bride,” and “Triple Frontier.” Apart from acting, she and Momoa also have another common interest.

In a June 2024 interview, he gushed over their shared love of motorcycles. While attending the Los Angeles premiere of “The Bikeriders,” Momoa revealed that his girlfriend enjoys riding with him. “My lady likes to ride. Any excuse for more hugs,” he said.
The 44-year-old is a longtime motorcycle enthusiast, as he has been riding them since his teenage years. Momoa explained that he rides all the time and even brings along his motorbikes whenever he travels for filming.
“It just fits with my DNA. Instantly, when I get on, everything just kind of goes away. I’m really focused. I don’t think about anything else ’cause you gotta be on it,” he expressed.
After going Instagram official with Arjona, online users reacted to their relationship and started comparing her looks with that of his ex-wife, Bonet.
“She’s like a cross between Lisa and her daughter,” wrote one person. While another argued, “Lisa is prettier.” Someone else also noted, “I also thought she kind of resembled Lisa, too.” “She actually looks like his ex-wife Lisa Bonet, just younger,” penned one. Another agreed, “Looks like a younger Lisa.”

Meanwhile, other people believe Arjona also resembles Bonet and Momoa’s daughter, with one writing, “She looks just like his daughter Lola. It’s kind of creepy.”

“Ewww put a side-to-side photo with his daughter…the GF looks exactly like his youngest child,” someone else remarked. One other online user penned on X, “That woman looks like his daughter and I’m more than a little perturbed.”
While Arjona has no children of her own to be compared to in terms of appearance, she, too, is a divorcee like her famous boyfriend. The 32-year-old was previously married to a lawyer, Edgardo Carnales, whom she wed in July 2019.

However, the pair, who kept their romance private, divorced in June 2023 following over three years of marriage. Arjona listed the date of their separation as January 2023 and requested that both parties have their right to support to be terminated.

The “Emerald City” star settled her divorce months before going public with Momoa. Aside from their very public relationship, the actress is also the daughter of superstar Guatemalan singer and songwriter Ricardo Arjona.
She once raved about her famous father in an interview, saying, “He motivates me and pushes my limits and makes sure that I’m always growing as an artist.” Before finding success in Hollywood, Arjona worked as a waitress and hostess in New York City.

At the time, she was studying acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. “I learned the value of money and working hard. It helped me because I got to be on my feet. And I think today I can do 16-hour days thanks to being a waitress,” she once said.

While her father was in the public eye, her mother, Leslie Torres, was not. Nevertheless, the actress credited her parents as being instrumental in her growth as an individual. “I have a mother who is extremely spiritual and positive and guides me through every obstacle in my life,” said the movie star.
