Many are still reeling from the shocking news that Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet have decided
to part ways.
On January 12th, the couple released a joint statement on Instagram to announce that their
marriage is over.
The two had been together for 16 years, meeting in 2005 and tying the knot in 2017.
They also share two children, Lola and Nakoa-Wolf - while Momoa has been stepdad to Bonet's
daughter Zoë Kravitz for years.
Their Instagram statement read, in part,
"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.
And so we share our family news that we are parting ways in marriage.
We share this not because we think it's newsworthy, but so that as we go about our lives, we may
do so with dignity and honesty."
Fans didn't see the divorce coming, leading them to express their disappointment over
the split on social media.
But there are also those who are already speculating as to who Momoa will date next.
Some fans even have an idea who it could be, and it happens to be one of Momoa's former
co-stars on "Game of Thrones."
Momoa and Bonet didn't reveal the reason behind their separation, but since photos of Momoa
and "Game of Thrones" co-star Emilia Clarke resurfaced shortly after the announcement,
some fans assume that she had something to do with their split.
The two actors starred as husband and wife on the popular HBO series, and while their
time on-screen only lasted a single season, they maintained their friendship up to this
day.
Momoa described Clarke in an Instagram post last August 2021,
"MOON OF MY LIFE.
you are wonderful love u forever"
Clarke also wrote a sweet caption about Momoa in a separate post:
"When your sun and stars rolls into town you check that he can still bench press a Khaleesi."
"Game of Thrones" fans would know that their characters Khal Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen
referred to each other as "my moon," and "my sun and stars," so the captions were only
fitting.
Many were quick to defend them on Twitter, telling trolls that they're just friends.
One fan posted,
"if you read about jason momoa's separation and your first thought is how it relates to
emilia clarke then go straight to hell thanks and leave her out of it."
Another wrote,
"I need you mfs to stop spreading rumours about Emilia in regards to Jason's divorce,
it ain't got s— to do with her so stop speaking on her."
The two have yet to address the rumors, but it's clear that they're the best of friends.
While some fans of both Momoa and Clarke want her left out of any speculation as to why
his marriage with Lisa Bonet may have ended, others are into the idea that a real-life
romance could now spark between the former "Game of Thrones" co-stars.
Fans immediately took to social media to ship the two.
One Twitter user posted,
"Sooooo Jason Momoa and Emilia Clarke can start dating now, right?"
Another fan on Twitter was a little more direct, tweeting,
"Emilia Clarke go comfort Jason Momoa right now."
Someone else was feeling both concerned for Momoa and intrigued by the possibility of
a new celebrity couple, tweeting,
"Me: oh no, hope Jason Momoa is taking the split well.
Also me: searches Is Emilia Clarke SINGLE?"
That's a very good question, and one that we can answer, kind of.
Momoa may now be available to start a new relationship, however, that doesn't mean that
Emilia Clarke is single.
Frankly, the status of her romantic life has changed quite a bit over the last few years.
It seems like some people are under the impression that Clarke is not single, with one fan even
popping into the discussions happening on social media around Momoa's break-up and newly
single status, tweeting that others should "exclude Emilia Clarke from this Jason Momoa/Lisa
Bonet situation," pointing to the fact that "she has been in a long term happy relationship"
with a certain someone.
The Twitter user even posted a handful of pictures of the seemingly happy couple.
So who is the man with whom Clarke is supposedly in a relationship?
Well, Clarke was dating director Charlie McDowell in 2018, however, they apparently split in
2019, according to Cosmopolitan.
He then went on to marry Lily Collins.
As for Clarke, there was some buzz involving Matt Smith in 2020, per Elle.
Then Lainey Gossip found pics of her with an unknown man in 2021 - and he looks an awful
lot like the guy from the Twitter post.
Granted, Distractify also claimed that she was single in 2021.
Considering Clarke doesn't exactly keep the public updated on the status of her relationships,
she may or may not currently be dating someone.
Of course, if she pops up in a few months arm-in-arm with Momoa, we're sure no one will
be able to miss that news!
