Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet have publicly announced their split up.
The former couple made a joint release statement which was posted on their Instagram account on Wednesday.
“We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times… A revolution is unfolding ~and our family is of no exception… feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring,” the statement read. “And so~ We share our Family news~That we are parting ways in marriage.”
The two first met at a jazz club in 2005, before Momoa gained stardom from his role as Khal Drogo on “Game of Thrones”.
But Momoa had an eye on Bonet long before he met Denise Huxtable who came to fame on the hit 1980s series “The Cosby Show,”. In his words on James Corden “The Late Night Show” in 2017 Momao confirmed this.
“Ever since I was like, 8 years old and I saw her on the TV, I was like, ‘Mommy, I want that one.’”
“I’m like, ‘I’m going to stalk you for the rest of my life and I’m going to get you.’”
The “Game of Thrones” star wasted no time courting his dream girl when they first met – and it worked.
“In that moment, love came and it came big, and he did not run as I think a lot of men do,” Bonet told Porter magazine in 2018. “He basically picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, caveman style!”
The pair welcomed Lola, their first child together, in 2007 and their son Nakoa-Wolf was born a year later.
Momoa supported Bonet’s daughter, actress Zoë Kravitz, from her earlier marriage to actor Lenny Kravitz. Kravitz and Momoa also became incredibly close, considering themselves “brothers.”
In their message, the couple who got married in 2017, wrote that they shared the update on their relationship “not because we think it’s newsworthy ~ But so that~ as we go about our lives we may do so with dignity and honesty.”
“The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived. We free each other ~to be who we are learning to become…,” the statement continued. “Our devotion unwavering to this sacred life& our Children. Teaching our Children What’s possible ~Living the Prayer May Love Prevail.”
