The Truth About Jason Momoa's Relationship With Zoe Kravitz
When "Game of Thrones" actor Jason Momoa and "High Fidelity" star Lisa Bonet tied the knot in 2017, according to CNN, many fans thought they would last, as they had been together since 2004. "In that moment, love came and it came big, and he did not run as I think a lot of men do. He basically picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, caveman style!" Bonet had told NET-A-PORTER in 2018.
However, CNN reports that the couple recently announced their separation in a joint statement on Instagram. "A revolution is unfolding — and our family is of no exception ... feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring. And so — We share our family news: that we are parting ways in marriage. We share this not because we think it's newsworthy but so that, as we go about our lives, we may do so with dignity and honesty," Momoa wrote.
Bonet, who had previously been married to musician Lenny Kravitz from 1987 to 1993 (via IMDb), welcomed a daughter, Zoë, with Kravitz years prior to meeting the "Aquaman" star. Momoa has previously opened up about what his relationship is really like with his stepdaughter, Zoë Kravitz.
Jason Momoa has respect for Zoë Kravitz
During a 2020 interview with Men's Health, actor Jason Momoa shared the love he had for then-wife Lisa Bonet, the children they share, and stepdaughter Zoë Kravitz. "I love her husband. I love her dad. I hope and pray my daughter is that talented and loving and open and close to her family," Momoa said about Zoë's then-husband, Karl Glusman, and father, Lenny Kravitz.
He also revealed his hopes as his children grow older, telling the publication, "My wife is very sophisticated and smart and [our kids and I are] kind of like animals that need to be trained a little better. I'm constantly a work in progress, and I've just been trying to get better as a father and a husband."
Zoë also initially returned the favor, wishing Momoa a happy birthday in an Instagram post, per People from August of 2020. "Happy birthday papabear! I love you," she captioned. However, the post has since been deleted, leading many to wonder where the two still stand.
Jason Momoa cheered Zoë Kravitz on for Batman role
Back in October of 2021, actor Jason Momoa cheered on his former stepdaughter Zoë Kravitz, for following in her mother, Lisa Bonet's footsteps. Kravitz has been cast as Catwoman alongside Robert Pattison in the upcoming "The Batman" film rendition. When the trailer was released, Momoa took to Instagram to celebrate her hard work and encourage his fans to see the movie, writing, "So proud of you zozo bear @zoeisabellakravitz can't wait to see this movie."
Momoa had also brought up his admiration for Kravitz in a 2019 interview with ET, tied to the release of his "Aquaman" movie. "It's perfect casting. It's perfect. She's gonna kill it," Momoa said, before awkwardly shutting down possibilities for a collaboration. "I don't think it's going that way... Let's just let them do their thing and let me do my thing."
Although Momoa outwardly roots for Kravitz's career choice, there might be some hesitation when it comes to his own children entering the business.
Jason Momoa doesn't necessarily want his biological children to follow Zoë
In 2019, Jason Momoa shared yet another sweet photo with Zoë Kravitz after she was announced for the part, using the same nickname as before: Zozo bear. "I'm so proud of u zozo bear. On and off screen OHANA," he wrote, continuing, "CAT WOMAN Unbelievable so freaking stoked. Your going to have so much fun Aloha P bea." While Kravitz herself didn't respond, it became clear to fans that the two had a very good relationship. Or, as Hawaii-born Momoa puts it affectionately, they are all "Ohana" — even referencing his teenage children Lola Iolani and Nakoa-Wolf that he shares with Bonet.
However, in a 2021 interview with ET, Momoa opened up about protecting his children from the acting industry. "Aw man, one of them wants to do it and I'm not a fan," he confessed. "I don't want them to... If they [really] want to, maybe. But I don't want them to get into acting. It's very hard on people and I don't want them to have that pressure. I'm tough, I can handle it, but I wouldn't want to put someone I love [through] that."
Prior to their separation, the couple had welcomed Lola in 2007 and Nakoa in 2008. As for Kravitz, she is the only child of Bonet and musician Lenny Kravitz. We'll just have to wait and see whether Lola and Nakoa heed their father's advice, or follow in their step-sister's footsteps.
