The Game of Thrones actor Jason Momoa, 44, and the Road to Paloma actress Lisa Bonet, 56, are in the limelight for two reasons. First, she recently filed for a divorce. Second, it went smoothly, unlike other celebrity divorces.
Joseph Jason Namakaeha Momoa, aka Jason Momoa, was previously engaged to an Australian actress, Simmone Jade Mackinnon, in 2004. They met on the set of Baywatch Hawaii in 1999. He began working at a surf shop in Hawaii but was pushed by a fashion designer to do modeling. Further, the couple split in 2006 for unknown reasons.
Lilakoi Moon, aka Lisa Bonet, eloped with Lenny Kravitz on her twentieth birthday. Lenny is a 59-year-old American singer, songwriter, and actor. She was attracted to him and confessed to having a soft corner for him due to the similarities. For instance, her mother, a school teacher, and his father are Jewish.
Jason Momoa’s Smooth Divorce Settlement
Jason Momoa’s divorce went really smoothly. His wife, Lisa Bonet, filed for divorce on 08 January 2024 (Monday) over ‘irreconcilable differences’ at the Superior Court of California and mutually settled their case the next day.
On the other hand, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner had a months-long legal battle with several allegations and denials from both sides. So, the divorce battle is not easy for every couple.
Coming back to the topic, the court documents reportedly state that Lisa and Jason will not pay child support to each other. Instead, they will share their children’s expenses, and this decision is considered permanent and final by the court.
Thus, no matter what their financial or health condition is, both parties must share their minor children’s living expenses.
Their Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) states they know the terms and conditions put by the MSA and are satisfied with them. It also states that Jason and Lisa know about the income and assets possessed by both parties.
Moreover, Jason and Lisa share legal custody of their minor children. Thus, both parties will be answerable if their children’s health, education, or well-being suffers. Similarly, whoever (one of them) wants to travel with the two kids must bear all expenses of the trip.
The divorce process works the same in the case of marriages and domestic partnerships in California. No matter how quickly the couple arrives at a settlement, it must wait at least six months to be legally separated after filing for a divorce in California. Thus, Jason and Lisa must wait till 09 July 2024 to be legally separated.
Jason And Lisa’s Love Life
Jason saw Lisa on television in 1987 when he was only eight and she was twenty. He was immediately attracted to her, and her deadlocks were the cherry on the cake. They officially met at a Los Angeles club in 2005. They began a relationship and welcomed their first daughter, Lola Iolani Momoa, in 2007.
The following year, Lisa gave birth to Jason’s son, Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa, and the couple married in 2017. Lisa married the rocker Lenny Kravitz in 1987 and welcomed his daughter, Zoe Kravitz, the following year. They divorced in 1993, and Zoe is reportedly engaged to Channing Tatum.
Jason and Lisa secretly separated in 2020 and shared the news two years later. According to a joint statement released by Jason and Lisa in 2020, every family goes through some transformation, and theirs is no exception. They decided to live with dignity and privacy without compromising their kids’ well-being.
According to an insider, the Aquaman actor and Biker Boyz actress had different ways of living, which contributed to their separation. He is loud and energetic, while she is cool and calm. He would enjoy his days out while she would cook and read at home. This friction must have forced them to separate.
Jason And Lisa’s Collaboration
Jason and Lisa collaborated on the screen two times. They collaborated for the first time for Road To Paloma (2014), an American drama thriller film, where he played the leading character, Robert Wolf, and she played Magdalena. Moreover, he directed, co-wrote, and produced the film.
Carhartt Handmade Films released a short film, The Canvas of My Life, on Jason’s life in 2016, and Lisa appeared in it. The eight-minute-long video shares precious moments of his life and explains how he was raised by a strong single mother. The short film helps us know who Jason is apart from an actor, model, director, writer, and producer.
