The Truth About Jason Momoa's Relationship With Amber Heard
Jason Momoa and Amber Heard have been making a lot of headlines lately — but for totally different reasons. There's been a lot of speculation about Momoa's love life after he and his partner Lisa Bonet called it quits in January after 16 years together.
However, both Momoa and Bonet emphasized, per E! News, "Our devotion [is] unwavering to this sacred life & our Children." Amid the breakup news, the "Game of Thrones" star was also forced to set the record straight after there were some rumors between him and Kate Beckinsale. "Absolutely not, not together," he told Extra! about the Beckinsale rumors, which heated up after he was seen lending the actor his coat at an event. "She is very nice," he explained, but, "I was being very nice, just being a gentleman. Now, I am not giving my coat to anyone."
Heard, meanwhile, has been dealing with all of the nonstop legal drama between her and her ex-husband Johnny Depp, who is suing the "Magic Mike XXL" actor for defamation, per NPR. Heard made a rare public statement about Depp, writing on Instagram that while she'll always have love for her ex-husband, "it brings me great pain to have to live out the details of our past life together in front of the world."
While 2022 has certainly been a rollercoaster year for both Momoa and Heard individually, many can't help but wonder exactly what went on between the two stars over the years, particularly behind the scenes of the movies in which they've co-starred.
Jason Momoa and Amber Heard's friendship
Jason Momoa and Amber Heard's relationship isn't what you might expect. While reports have circulated during the Johnny Depp trial that Heard and Momoa's on-screen chemistry wasn't as good as it could have been, reports from years prior paint something of a different story. The two got rather close while filming "Aquaman" back in 2017 — as friends, of course.
The two loved to joke around with one another, and even had silly spats the way close siblings do. During an interview with "Good Morning America" back in 2018, Heard explained that Momoa had a particular way of getting her attention whenever he was in need of it.
Explaining that he is "allergic to being ignored," she said, "He adopted this method of ripping out the pages of my book, so I would pay attention to him. It would drive me crazy because I'd have 30 pages left, and it would be gone."
If that weren't enough, a lot of people have also noticed that Momoa and Heard did share a lot of photos of them together on social media. There are some posts of Momoa and Heard dressed in matching accessories and looking playful at sporting events. While to some people it was obvious that they were friends, others couldn't help but wonder if they were also a romantic pair.
Some social media comments have even included, "Very ACCORDINGLY CUTE COUPLE," along with, "Soul twins." Of course, their closeness prompted a lot of people to wonder what was really going on between them.
Were Amber Heard and Jason Momoa ever more than friends?
That said, it seems like Momoa's friendship with Heard was and still is nothing more than the supportive kind. Even though he has never said anything on the record about her ongoing drama with Johnny Depp, Momoa raised his voice in support of his co-star when she welcomed her daughter Oonagh in July 2021.
Momoa wrote "congratulations" alongside a red heart emoji under Heard's Instagram post. And while it seems like he wants to keep his distance from her legal troubles, Momoa did follow Depp on Instagram in April, seemingly throwing his hat in the ring. To those closely watching the trial, the follow was something of a sign that Momoa had taken a side in the legal dispute, and it was not Heard's. That said, the Daily Mail reported in May that it was actually Momoa himself that fought to keep Heard in the "Aquaman 2" sequel. Maybe their friendship runs deeper than any of the social media rumors after all.
