Jason Momoa’s recent announcement of his new girlfriend on Instagram has set the internet abuzz with excitement. While some may find this revelation surprising, Momoa had been dropping hints about their budding romance for quite some time.
The 44-year-old actor first crossed paths with the 32-year-old actress on the set of the 2021 Netflix film Sweet Girl, while he was still married to Lisa Bonet. However, it’s important to note that despite their separation, Momoa and Bonet were still legally married at the time.
There was no overlap in Momoa’s relationships, as he and Bonet announced their separation on October 7, 2020. Subsequently, on January 8 of this year, Bonet filed for divorce, and their legal matters were resolved amicably the following day.
Momoa took to Instagram to share a series of photos from their recent trip to Japan, celebrating his newfound freedom to openly express his love. In his caption, he affectionately referred to his new flame as “mi amor,” while the images captured their undeniable chemistry and happiness together.
In 2019, Momoa’s new girlfriend, Isabela Merced Arjona, tied the knot with attorney Edgardo Canales; however, details about their separation or divorce remain scarce.
Although Arjona may be a relatively new addition to the Momoa family, she was handpicked by Momoa’s stepdaughter, Zoë Kravitz, to direct Blink Twice, a film starring Channing Tatum, set to premiere on August 23.
With Kravitz and Tatum’s recent engagement, it’s anticipated that their wedding will be a star-studded affair, likely attended by Momoa, Bonet, and Lenny Kravitz.
After 13 years of dating, Momoa and Bonet exchanged vows in October 2017. Despite their decision to part ways, the former couple continues to co-parent their two children, 15-year-old Nakoa-Wolf and 16-year-old Lola.
While they chose not to publicly announce their split on Instagram until January 2022, Momoa and Bonet emphasized the importance of facing life’s changes with dignity and honesty in a joint statement, acknowledging the transformative nature of their journey.
