Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet were among the most loved couples in Hollywood. However, on Monday, January 8, 2024, actress Lisa Bonet filed for divorce from Jason Momoa, ending a 17-year relationship between them. The pair met in a Los Angeles jazz bar in 2005 through mutual connections. Lisa Bonet, the former cast member of The Cosby Show, claimed to Net-A-Porter in 2018 that they "have been together" ever since.
As per PEOPLE magazine (which obtained court documents filed in the Superior Court of California), Bonet requested shared custody of their two daughters, Lola Iolani (16) and Nakoa-Wolf (15), in the divorce application. The Aquaman actor has not asked for spousal support, and the documents suggest he will not be requesting financial support either.
After meeting in 2005 and getting married in October 2017, the couple revealed their separation in January 2022. However, according to the divorce papers, they haven't lived together since October 7, 2020.
