Beyond his tough-guy exterior, Jason Momoa is a devoted family man and a doting father of two. Take a look inside his close bond with his teenage children — a son who’s the spitting image of his mom, Lisa Bonet, and a daughter who’s every bit her father’s twin. Jason Momoa is best known for his iconic roles as a fierce warrior, brave hero, or outright tough guy. But beyond the camera, he’s also a super dad to his two teenage children. Though his relationship with Lisa Bonet ended in 2022, Jason remains a devoted father, co-parenting with his ex-wife.
The actor has been open about the joys and challenges of fatherhood, embracing every moment he shares with his children. Get to know the two teens who are not only Jason’s pride and joy but also the mirror images of their famous parents. Inside Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet’s Relationship and Surprising Split Jason and Lisa Bonet first met in 2005, sparking a love that would last over 16 years.
They welcomed two children—a daughter, Lola, and a son, Nakoa-Wolf. After more than a decade together, they married quietly in 2017, blending their family with Bonet’s daughter Zoë, whom she shares with Lenny Kravitz.
While they may have looked like Hollywood royalty, life wasn’t always easy for the family. In an interview, Jason revealed that after his breakout role on “Game of Thrones,” he struggled financially. “We were starving after ‘Game of Thrones,'” he admitted. “I couldn’t get work. It’s very challenging when you have babies and you’re completely in debt,” the actor continued. Things took a turn in 2016 when Jason landed his role in “Justice League,” and in 2018, he found massive success with “Aquaman.” However, with this career shift came new demands on his time. By early 2022, he and Lisa announced their breakup, shocking fans.
“Jason is very focused on his career,” a source shared, adding that “Lisa wants to be in L.A. and is not interested in going on location for long periods of time with him.” Another insider added that the former couple drifted apart and wanted different things. Despite the split, Jason and Lisa prioritize their family, co-parenting with love and respect. The actor emphasized that he and his ex-wife shared many “beautiful” years and said she was still “family.”
For Jason, fatherhood has been a journey of growth, introspection, and commitment. Raised without a father at home, the actor initially faced uncertainties about what it meant to be a dad. “I didn’t know what it takes to be a dad,” he admitted, sharing how he wanted to build an authentic bond with his son. Rather than taking a traditional, authoritarian approach, Jason emphasized the importance of connection, saying, “I want him to be vulnerable and open.” When asked how his real-life experience as a father influences his acting, Jason admitted that, while he tries to keep his roles separate from his family life, some of his true feelings inevitably come through.
