Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet have tied the knot quite recently, but their love story actually has begun more than 10 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their peculiar bond – that might seem unusual to us common folk – is definitely their trademark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First off, free-spirited and demure Lisa Bonet is more than a decade older than the passionate and rowdy Jason Momoa, but this is just one of the many opposing traits these Hollywood lovebirds seem to have!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let us jump in right away and see for ourselves how their relationship and their fun way of living sets the bar high, love life-wise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1979 in Honolulu, Hawaii, Jason Momoa was born. The iconic role of Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones was his first big breakthrough. Consequently, he managed to snag the lead hero’s part of Aquaman<\/em> by DC Films which launched him into stardom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Born 1967, Lisa Bonet was a beloved actress thanks to the 1980’s popular The Cosby Show<\/em>, so she was already a well-established star when they first laid eyes on each other with her now-husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa was only 9 years of age when Bonet and Lenny Kravitz, her first husband had eloped in 1987. They had their daughter, Zo\u00eb Isabella Kravitz, in 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The question is out there – how did the romance actually come to be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Before The First Meeting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It always makes you wonder when you see a harmonious relationship, it might have been fate that had brought the two lovers together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jason “Aquaman” Momoa was a guest on The Late Show with James Corden<\/em> right after their wedding – where he decided to reveal his secret about his wife and what he thought when he saw her the first time on the TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As it turns out, it all started with an innocent childhood crush. Young Momoa, only 8 years old, was watching The Cosby Show<\/em> with his mother and he immediately fell for Lisa Bonet ki when she came up on the screen. He exclaimed, “Mum, I want that one!” Talk about love at first sight, huh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was it just sheer luck that he got to marry the woman he was infatuated with as a child?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Momoa Was Serious From the Start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
It took years for Momoa and Bonet to meet in real life, but nonetheless he had profound and honest feelings towards her all along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He jokingly confessed to James Corden that when he saw the actress, the woman of his dreams on the screen he said, \u201cI\u2019m going to pursue you for the rest of my life, and you’ll be mine eventually.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa acknowledged the creepiness of this statement and convinced the audience that he only revealed this to Bonet after they had their two children together. In jest, he clarified that it would have been absolutely weird and bizarre to start off their relationship with this information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just how did they end up meeting for the first time, after all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Beer & Cornmeal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Momoa might have been looking to meet her, but nonetheless when they first met, he was astounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He chatted with James Corden about him and Bonet having some mutual acquaintances back then, which lead to them meeting in a club with jazz music, coincidentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course they ran into each other which caused Momoa to go nuts with excitement, internally screaming and looking for his friends for some support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the initial shock has passed, much to his surprise he ended up leaving with her from the party. Momoa was living at a motel at this time and it just so happens that when they stopped at a coffee shop on the way, Bonet ended up ordering Guinness – his favorite. He ordered some Grits to go with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What was the chance of them getting along right away?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Imitating someone can certainly seem like a high level of flattery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jason Momoa confessed that he actually ended up with long hair because of his obsession with Lisa Bonet. \u201cI dreaded my hair almost for her. I had huge dreadlocks, and she had dreadlocks\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa might have gotten things moving with her in the beginning, but some events happened organically between them for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having a similar hairstyle was definitely something they bonded over, but was it more than that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Lisa Bonet\u2019s Deal-Breaker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone has an ultimate pet peeve that would cause issues in a relationship – even in a passionate marriage such as theirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to E! News<\/em>, Momoa admits that his wife’s weakness is his hair!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy wife would leave me if I cut my hair, so I just don\u2019t cut my hair. I\u2019m not cutting it for a while, I\u2019ll tell you that much.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imitating her hair seems to have worked pretty well for him as she is absolutely crazy about his mane!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nonetheless, the hairstyle aspect is just one facet of their colorful relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
When Did They Get Married – 2007 or 2017?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nImage by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
On many occasions, people were guessing if the couple had married before 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were an item for such a long time, but this wasn’t the only reason why many of us thought that they were already hitched at some point, in secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were sporting some obvious jewelry on their ring fingers and it added to the speculation that Momoa kept referring to Bonet as “wife” all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This evidence seemed pretty convincing to everyone that they tied the knot back in 2007, but wanted to be enigmatic about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So how was their secret discovered eventually?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Is Jason Momoa the New Liam Neeson?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nImage by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The lovers ended up legally marrying in October 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The happy couple definitely had a unique wedding celebration in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their California home became the wedding venue and instead of a Hollywood-style, over-the-top party, they decided to throw a secretive, small reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They concentrated more on the idea of celebrating their union just with their close friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa ended up becoming genuinely angry when somehow their wedding ended up getting leaked to the press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He told Entertainment Online<\/em> that, \u201c[I] haven\u2019t had the chance to stalk someone down and find them yet — but I will.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s an eerie phrase reminiscent of Liam Neeson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Momoa and Bonet’s relationship is lively, fun and endearing, all the reasons why it’s easy to become interested in their daily lives!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are both TV stars of course, but they happen to have a TV-free home. Bonet wants to promote and encourage their children to have a free, active imagination on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is not a single piece of television equipment in their home and Bonet makes sure to keep her phone out of reach, too, when they are spending time together as a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nonetheless, their weekly family activities include a bowl of popcorn and an episode of Saturday Night Live<\/em> on the only computer available in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having no TV certainly doesn’t mean that there is no entertainment in their home though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
One Rumor That Turned Out To Be True<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Following the wedding rumors, Momoa and Bonet’s life brought up more and more topics to gossip about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of these was people seeing Bonet walking a peculiar animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Porter Magazine<\/em> featured Lisa Bonet on a cover article about her picturesque homestead and that\u2019s when the truth was uncovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe hear a honking sound and Bonet\u2019s face brightens up. It\u2019s her chestnut donkey, Freya.\u201d The reporter conveyed in the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was finally revealed to be a true piece of information as the Momoa-Bonet family did, in fact, walk their pet donkey around town on occasion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Freya, the unusual companion was not the only surprise in store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Multiple Exotic Pets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Their chestnut donkey Freya might not be the only unusual companion that the couple owns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also added Amba and Zion to the family – these peculiar canines are a 50-50 breed of both wolf and malamute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Momoa-Bonet household also happens to have a ball python living in their family home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lifestyle in Topanga, California seems to agree with the couple a lot and they love their homestead there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know people give Southern California a bad rap, but I love it here,\u201d Bonet claimed to the reporter for Porter Magazine<\/em>, \u201cYou can create the life you want.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you are looking for entertainment in this family, unusual pets are not the only ones available!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Lisa Bonet\u2019s Sanctuary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Their home has certainly become more than an estate, it is Bonet\u2019s haven in reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2003 Bonet moved in with her daughter, Zo\u00eb Kravitz, and since then she was on a mission to create the richest, most comfortable environment for her family in their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her and Momoa have adorned their entryway with colorful Tibetan antiquities such as prayer flags and mandalas along the path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, there is much more entertainment to be had with their very own ax-throwing setup, skate ramp, climbing space, and even a teepee-style tent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It must be awesome to have such a fun home, but how did Zo\u00eb feel about suddenly meeting and moving in with all-new family members?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Connection Through Ink, Not Blood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not the easiest thing to welcome a new step-dad and two new half-siblings into your world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite that, Zo\u00eb Kravitz and Jason Momoa seem to have a very special bond right from the start and are clearly comfortable around each other. It’s easy to see just by looking at their social media pages online – they have endless amounts of love and support for one another!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s no need for blood when you can connect through ink. Momoa and Kravitz have matching tattoos on their forearms. \u201cEtre Toujours Ivre,\u201d meaning \u201cbe always drunk\u201d – this surely earned some cool dad-points for Momoa with his stepdaughter. Supposedly Bonet has the same tattoo as well, although it is yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quote might seem peculiar, but it’s nice that they found this way to connect for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where does Lenny Kravitz, Zo\u00eb’s biological father, fit into all of this, though?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
One Big Happy Ohana<\/h2>\n\n\n\nImage by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
It would be obvious to think that there is some tension between Momoa and Lenny Kravitz. But as it turns out, their relationship is warm and friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHappy birthday brother. Love and respect always. Ohana ’til the end.” – Kravitz wrote under a photo he shared of them together, all smiles and fistbumps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOhana\u201d is a Hawaiian word for \u201cfamily\u201d, and it certainly applies to this wholesome household!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It turns out that they only celebrate birthdays together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The couple gets along extremely well with ex-husband Lenny Kravitz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa and Kravitz are very active on each other’s IG accounts, applauding each other all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ocean Drive Magazine<\/em> interviewed Zo\u00eb in 2015 about the relationship between her dad and her new family on her mother’s side. She stated, \u201cMy dad loves all of us and is close with my brother and sister. It\u2019s really beautiful. As long as everyone can be in the same room together, and have love for each other, it\u2019s totally healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Things are so smooth between the family members that they even organize Thanksgiving dinners together now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Split with Kravitz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Bonet had a hard time emotionally, related to her relationship ending with Kravitz, but the two have managed to stay friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ending her marriage has caused her to take a step back from Hollywood and just contemplate her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her divorce from Kravitz was the driving force, the start of her spiritual journey and helped her advance on this path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She elaborated to Entertainment News<\/em> that it was \u201ca very accelerated time, spiritually and intellectually,” she was afraid of negatively impacting her daughter and confronting her with the pain of the separation from Kravitz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bonet is a courageous woman who felt the need to stand up for herself and move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Lilakoi Moon – Who is She?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Bonet spent most of the ’90s with finding herself and trying to heal emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The split took Lenny Kravitz as well, he ended up writing his album, Mama Said<\/em>, during this time. Bonet, however, kept out of the spotlight on purpose in an attempt to really focus on herself and emerge anew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the process of how her new name, \u201cLilakoi Moon\u201d, came to be. She recognized there needed to be a profound change in herself and through this name, she felt reborn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So which one is her current preference, her old or her new name?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
From Lisa Bonet to Lilakoi Moon to Lisa Bonet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Separating from your partner you were once committed to can be one of the most painful things you can experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bonet decided to take the matters into her own hand to heal through spirituality and that included obtaining the new name \u201cLilakoi Moon\u201d .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She prefers to use \u201cLisa Bonet” as her official work name still, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Entertainment News<\/em> chatted with her about this and she said, \u201cFor me, it’s not about creating or building a career anymore, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also added, \u201cMy desire to participate in the business is not to make more crap so I’m really content, I have a desire to create more film, more beauty, more art, more love – but I don’t feel desperate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
A Scholar of Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Jason Momoa had his own epiphany of the soul that he went through before marrying Lisa Bonet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Believe it or not, that was exactly how he ended up becoming a movie star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was an explorer at heart, as he states in his film Canvas of My Life<\/em>, \u201cI packed up my life and put it on my back; free to wander. Everywhere from Tibet to France, Italy, Japan, everywhere USA.\u201d All this traveling made him refer to himself as a \u201cstudent of life”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This driving force behind pursuing a career in acting was the same thing that led him to the love of his wife, the mother of their three beautiful children – Lisa Bonet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Equal Parenting Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It comes as no surprise that Momoa and Bonet have so much in common, but their love is still incredibly unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The couple seems quite contrasting on the surface, deep down their views on life and how to raise their children are the same, strong and coordinated with each other. They apply these values to their daily life together for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa is steadfast in becoming the best dad to his kids and helps them develop \u201ctheir soul\u201d and \u201cexpression of self\u201d It’s important to him that they learn to appreciate mother nature as well – he has been actively encouraging his kids to try out different hobbies like skateboarding, painting, rock climbing and of course music. Of course, Lisa Bonet is on board with all of this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Stormborn Warrior<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bonet displayed profound wisdom when going through her split from Kravitz, all the while prioritizing her beloved daughter, Zo\u00eb’s wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When talking about the difficulties of divorce, Bonet proclaimed, \u201cI think there are probably times when these thresholds can either sink you, or you can see who you are and rise and dust yourself off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But she already established herself as a person with unshakable will and it’s only fitting that Bonet and Momoa chose such a strong name for their son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As stated in Times Magazine<\/em>, Bonet gave birth to their son during a stormy night. This inspired them to give him the impressive name of \u201cNakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa\u201d, which means \u201cstormy warrior\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Height is Just a Fact of Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
No offense, tall ladies, but tall guys seem to prefer small girls for some reason. It’s kind of a fact, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, Momoa was technically smaller than Bonet when he first started developing feelings for her, but by the time they eventually met, he caught up to her, a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is obviously a foot taller than her in real life, which is sometimes hard to tell when looking at them through cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is a tiny 5\u20192\u201d while he is a statuesque 6\u20194\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Numbers are just numbers, though – you just can’t control them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Avoiding Each Other\u2019s Romantic Scenes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
When you are a Hollywood starlet, sometimes you might end up having to do steamy scenes for the sake of the movie. There are plenty of couples in the industry who go through that frequently – but that doesn’t mean they have to watch each other’s scenes, obviously. Momoa and Bonet have this rule of trying to avoid letting this get to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa stated to Entertainment Tonight Canada<\/em> that he refuses to watch Bonet\u2019s romance scenes, elaborating \u201cI just don\u2019t really want to see certain things – I love her, it\u2019s our job, but I\u2019ve gotta [separate it].\u201d Bonet, however, once watched Momoa\u2019s raunchy scene with Emilia Clarke in Game Of Thrones<\/em> secretly and claimed that it was \u201camazing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa was definitely encouraging her along a certain path, without his influence her career might have taken a totally different turn in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

While the couple tries to avoid watching each other’s love scenes, the one time she was curious enough to do so seems to have changed her life and career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As stated before, Lisa Bonet took some time away from the screen after her famous sitcom role as Denise in The Cosby Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She ended up being inspired by Momoa’s Game of Thrones<\/em> performance with Emilia Clarke and confessed that she was very proud of her husband because of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In any case, Bonet was a fan of him beforehand and Momoa ended up encouraging her to get back into acting and helped prepare her emotionally for her role on Life on Mars<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A total power couple – and inspiring for sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Custom-Made Wedding Gift<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Momoa and Bonet are no strangers to self-expression, in the coolest possible way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were spotted wearing wedding bands around their ring fingers before they actually got hitched, so it was expected that they were planning on something unconventional when they finally tied the knot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa’s wedding gift from Bonet ended up being an elaborate, custom-made skull necklace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was hand-made by his jewelry designer friend, Judicael; it took him four years to produce it for Momoa – a truly sentimental and well-thought-out gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just think about it – this gift was preordered by Bonet years in advance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She certainly understands his sense of fashion, but what about other aspects?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Who\u2019s the Yogi in the Family?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Lisa Bonet is obviously a nature-loving, chic and spiritual woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From her technology-free homestead to her bohemian fashion style, she must be a fan of yoga, too. She\u2019s actively practicing your go-to asanas as often as she can and has attempted to get Momoa to try it out, too. So far, it was unsuccessful \u2013 although he\u2019s not a fan of heights, he\u2019s still more invested in activities like rock-climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s not a huge deal though, her husband has accepted his fate and he’s convinced that eventually, he’s \u201cgoing to have to\u201d do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are no issues when this power couple is together, but what about when they have to be apart from each other?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Going the Distance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Long haul flights and being away from your family is just part of the job – these lovebirds understand that. It is only to be expected when a couple is madly in love, it can be challenging when they have to be apart, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might think that they would find it hard to surprise each other after such a long time being together, but they find it easy to express kindness and love on the daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa\u2019s 38th birthday, his wife surprised him like with an unexpected present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shooting for Aquaman<\/em> took place in Australia, so she decided to fly out his closest friends, kids, and herself from Los Angeles to his husband as a surprise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This couple is here to show us how it’s done, so what else is in store?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
New Home, New Country<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
The couple was toying with the idea of packing everything and moving their family to another location for some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Porter Magazine<\/em> interviewed Bonet about her plans and she was thinking about Costa Rica at the time but added that it is a futuristic thought of hers still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She has heard the country refuses to have an army and have invested more money into education, and this seems to be the biggest appeal to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa was contemplating his beloved homeland, Hawaii as an option and also suggested New Zealand because that could be a different continent to relocate to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As it turns out Bonet is still attached to California – \u201cI\u2019m not quite ready to disappear completely,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Momoa In Real life – What is He Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Their zodiac signs are quite different and it has you thinking, how can a suave Scorpio – which is Bonet and an energetic Leo that’s Momoa can work together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa seems to prefer powerful roles in acting, such as Khal Drogo, Conan the Barbarian and the most recent Aquaman – does he behave similarly to these roles in his daily life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bonet is quick to convince Porter Magazine<\/em> that he has superior leading skills and is a charismatic person, but also \u201can alpha male who stands for love and family\u2026 [and] a rare form of masculinity in this day and age\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They ended up getting together when he wasn’t famous yet, so how was mutual work for the couple in the end?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Opposing Signs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Astrology seems to be a factor to think about for most couples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As stated in Elle Magazine<\/em>, Leos and Scorpios make a fiery mix! Play for power, dynamism, and ferocity is the main descriptions you can put to love like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elle<\/em> also says that sharing business is ideal for these two signs, as they can focus intensely and drive any cause forward together effectively, making them a quite literal power couple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even the stars seem to acknowledge that the pair share many similarities and traits as well as being opposites of each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are zodiac signs the only thing this couple needs as proof?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Matching Fashion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They certainly ended up working together, but first, let’s explore the event where they dressed to match each other!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa has an official YouTube page, where he shared an exclusive video of the two putting their outfits on and going to the 2019 Oscar Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lovebirds ended up dressing to impress, in coordinating outfits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bonet wore a beautiful gown with gold and pink tones, while Momoa donned a suit in blush color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Karl Lagerfeld was the one that made his historical outfit, but Momoa also had a unique Fendi scrunchy made for him that he wore at the party after the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A long-haired man like Momoa can certainly make use of some accessories!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He shares that he participated at Apple Show, where a hairstylist gave him the Fendi scrunchy he cherishes ever since. He was ecstatic about it because it was that beautiful, he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa’s stylist, Jeanne Young, was asked to try and find someone who could create an outfit to match his velvet blush pink hair accessory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Young ended up reaching Karl Lagerfeld as well as Silvia Venturini Fendi who tailor-made Momoa’s outfit for the Oscar Award show and the afterparty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tragically, Lagerfeld passed away shortly after the fitting, making the garment so extraordinary and sentimentally valuable, because it was one of the last pieces the iconic designer has ever created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa was humbled to wear his creation for this notable event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Children of Nature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Their union started with forming a family together, way before they decided to mesh their professional lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The couple’s first child, Lola Iolani was born in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa and Bonet embrace parenthood fully – they share a similar view on life and skills, which helps their relationship stay strong. Family is something that’s especially important to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nature lover Bonet and native Hawaiian Momoa take extra care to instill the importance of preserving and embracing nature into their children and raise them in an environmentally conscious way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bonet recalls the story to Porter Magazine<\/em> when someone once asked their son Nakoa-Wolf what the meaning of life was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He answered that Mother Earth’s protection was important, and he also thinks that God wants to play with her, it seems!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Momoa’s Childhood Years<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Jason Momoa ended up growing up in Iowa, despite the fact that he was born in Hawaii – a place of importance to him because of his native roots there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He had dreams of becoming a father, didn’t think too much about being an actor at first. As he matured, though, his view of life broadened and he developed a sense of wanting to explore more of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his film, Canvas of My Life<\/em> he starts by describing his childhood via voice-over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa recalls being raised in small-town America. He saw hard work around himself, agriculture and farm animals. His ancestors were the hunters and the architects of the mid-west.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was a fighter in the making, right from the start and it served him well throughout his career!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Growing Up Without a Father<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Momoa praises his mother fully for his upbringing in his short film. According to him, she was responsible for showing him many things he ended up becoming interested in, even later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coincidentally, Bonet’s father was missing from her family, too, during her childhood. Her relationship with Momoa seemed to have helped her in letting go of this emotional burden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa has filled the empty space in her heart that longed for a father figure since childhood it seems. She mused to Porter Magazine<\/em>, \u201cHaving an absent father, then to be fully met by a man of that stature, is really incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is obviously a sign that they were destined for each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Couple’s Camera Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Screenshot from “Road to Paloma” <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
However hard it might seem for a pair to come together professionally, Momoa was dead set on working with his wife at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Road to Paloma<\/em> in 2014 was the first movie they starred in together, which Jason Momoa wrote and directed as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most challenging aspect of the movie was Bonet being the main love interest for Momoa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oddly enough, Bonet was not the one under the most pressure, Momoa commented to Fox News, \u201cIt was very nerve-wracking because that\u2019s your love up there, that\u2019s your family. And, you know, this is our first time being on camera.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all wonder what it was like for them to work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Bonet as a Music Video Director<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Screenshot from “Let Love Rule” by @Lenny Kravitz \/ YouTube <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
At this point, Bonet has already had experience working with a significant other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guess who was the director of the 1989 song by Lenny Kravitz, \u201cLet Love Rule\u201d? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, it was the lady herself, Lisa Bonet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She wasn’t just the director of this particular music video, she had a big role to play on that specific album of his by contributing to some of his lyrics as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was together with Kravitz before he made it in the music industry, just like it was with her now-husband, Momoa, who got famous only after they became a couple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did this experience help her in shooting together with her husband, Momoa later?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Superheroes of Love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If there is an inspiring and refreshing relationship out there, theirs is a prime example for certain. As quirky as they seem from the outside, it’s all about love for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No obstacle or difference in life such as height or age was enough to deter them from loving each other and starting a family together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa didn’t deny that he was a bit skittish to work with his wife, but he was excited to share with Fox News Magazine<\/em> that, \u201cShe really lights up the film, I love watching her. She\u2019s a great talent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The role of Aquaman seems to resonate well within their relationship – surely this couple has real-life superhero qualification!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Family of Fandom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Bonet has devoted more than ten years to be a stay-at-home mother which made their family bond incredibly strong, with the help of Momoa’s fatherly aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ha was always a fan of superheroes and he introduced his family to this passion of his as well, so every one of them ended up being part of the fandom in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa took the time to participate in an interview with Sirius XM<\/em> and mused that his kids were living with him on the set of Aquaman<\/em> in Australia. But the kids were very excited about his role in Justice League<\/em> before, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As it turns out, their daughter Lola is a fan of Wonder-Woman of course, and Nakoa, their son\u2019s favorite is Batman. That must leave Aquaman as Bonet’s most beloved character, surely!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their quirky and loving family is one that we can all look up to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Protecting The Pack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Momoa and Bonet have agreed on keeping their household drama-free. They share the same views in the sense that they\u2019ve tried to create a safe space for their children, without stress and drama – and they refrain from sharing their work-related troubles at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momoa states to Us Weekly<\/em>, \u201cI can really care less about myself; I just want to always stay papa to them. They don’t see that version of me and I like that \u2014 I like being able to keep it so I’m just papa bear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where does Zo\u00eb come into this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Endorsing Her Daughter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @prideofgypsies \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
If Momoa is the \u201cPapa Bear\u201d to all of their kids, then surely it comes as no surprise that mama bear Lisa Bonet takes every opportunity to praise her daughter, Zo\u00eb, for growing up to be an amazing young woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bonet shared her thoughts with Us Weekly<\/em>. She comments that she’s completely at ease with her children’s way of living and is glad that the only thing she has to worry about is just trying to protect them in the general sense. She trusts their decision-making abilities and that must give her peace of mind, no doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This amazing family just got a new member, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
New to The Momoa Family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Image by @karlglusman \/ Instagram <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
The most recent member of the Bonet-Kravitz-Momoa clan was added in June 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zo\u00eb Kravitz ended up tieing the knot with actor Karl Glusman, and it comes as no surprise that they are just as loved up as Momoa and Bonet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rehearsal dinner took place at the restaurant Lap\u00e9rouse, co-owned by Gr\u00e9gory Lentz. As expected, it was a lovely gathering of just close friends and family, praising the happily married brand new couple. Lentz commented to People Magazine<\/em> – \u201cAny room with Lenny and Jason and Denzel in it, well\u2026 was crazy and insane. There was so much love in the room.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glusman took to Instagram right away to share a cute selfie in celebration of their wedding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
