Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet announce their separation
One of the most romantic love stories in Hollywood has come to an end. Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet released a joint statement posted to their verified Instagram account on Wednesday, announcing that they are ending their marriage.
"We have all felt the pressure and changes of these transformative times... A revolution is unfolding ~ and our family is no exception... feeling and growing from the seismic shifts taking place," it reads in the statement. "And so, we share our family news: that we are breaking up."
The couple reportedly met at a jazz club in 2005, long before Momoa became famous playing Khal Drogo on "Game of Thrones."
But Jason Momoa apparently had an eye on Lisa Bonet, who rose to fame as Denise Huxtable on the '80s hit series "The Cosby Show," long before that.
"Ever since I was like 8 years old and I saw her on TV, I was like, 'Mommy, I want that one,'" Momoa told James Corden on "The Late Late Show" in 2017. "It was like, 'I'm going to stalk you for the rest of my life and I'm going to get you.
How Jason Momoa conquered Lisa Bonet
So Jason Momoa wasted no time courting the girl of his dreams when they met, and it worked.
"At that point, love came and it came in a big way, and he didn't run like I think a lot of men do," Bonet told Porter magazine in 2018. "He basically picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, caveman style!" !"
They welcomed their first child together, Lola, in 2007. Their son Nakoa-Wolf was born a year later.
Jason Momoa helped raise Lisa Bonet's daughter, actress Zoë Kravitz, from her previous marriage to musician and actor Lenny Kravitz. Kravitz and Momoa also became incredibly close, considering each other "brothers".
Momoa and Bonet reportedly got married in 2017.
In their statement, the couple wrote that they shared their relationship update "not because we think it's newsworthy, but so that as we move forward in our lives we can do so with dignity and honesty."
"The love between us continues, evolving into the ways it wishes to be known and lived. We free each other to be who we are learning to become...", continues the statement. "Our unwavering devotion to this sacred life and to our children. Teaching our children what is possible. Living in prayer that love prevails."
