just a few days into 2022 news of jason
mamoa and lisa bonnet's split has
already sent the internet into a
tailspin the pair were together for more
than 16 years and regularly posted
glowing tributes to each other on social
media not only that but the aquaman star
had spoken publicly about how he felt
bonet was the one for him and had been
for a very long time ever since i was
like eight years old and i saw on a tv
and i was like mommy i want that one
however while the world believed mamoa
and bonai to be soulmates there were
recent signs that all was not well in
paradise perhaps hinting at a newfound
independence bonai told interview in
december 2021 i'm definitely learning
how to be authentically me learning to
be new and following this invitation
from the universe to step into this
river of uncertainty momoa has been hard
at work filming aquaman 2 aquaman and
the lost kingdom even right up to
announcing the split on january 11th the
same day that lisa bonay and jason momoa
announced their split aquaman director
james wan took to instagram to share
that the cast and crew had officially
wrapped the movie in a post that showed
one posing under a shower head with
stars momoa and patrick wilson he wrote
and finally finally finally picture wrap
on the actual last day of aquaman 2 and
malibu with these two gents yes we do
get very wet a lot on this show a
thousand thank yous to all the
incredible crew who worked so hard and
tirelessly on this picture according to
us weekly momoa broke the news of a
split with bonet just one hour after
juan's picture went up the couple wrote
in a recently deleted statement on
instagram we have all felt the squeeze
and changes of these transformational
times a revolution is unfolding and our
family is of no exception and so we
share our family news that we are
parting ways in marriage prior to the
post the actor had not shared an image
of himself with his wife in quite some
time though in the past he had been
known to post adoring tributes to bonet
from 1984 to 1991 lisa bonay rose to
prominence with her role as denise
huxtable on the cosby show she would
also portray the huxtable daughter in
the spinoff a different world which she
departed after the show's first season
but in the years that followed boney
seemingly stepped away from the
limelight focusing on motherhood after
she welcomed daughter zoe with lenny
kravitz in 1988. splitting from kravitz
in 1993 bonaire eventually found herself
entranced by the aquaman star bonaire
and mamoa got together in 2005 and the
former cosby show star even credited
mamoa with helping her get back into
acting after nabbing a recurring role in
the abc series life on mars in 2008
bonai told people to have my face
reinstated in mines and homes once a
week was an intense decision i'm a shy
person i don't know if it's in my dna to
share with the world she did however
give mamoa a shout out for his support
saying having a mate has given me that
feeling of safety jason is the love of
my life he's everything i hoped would
come there was a time when jason mamoa
wasn't a household name with wife lisa
bonet essentially stepping away from the
spotlight after the cosby show mamoa was
left to scratch and claw his way through
tinsel town as the couple raised their
two young children in a 2020 interview
with in style momoa reflected on those
hard times with boney noting that there
was a time where the couple was totally
broke after all momoa's game of thrones
character died at the end of the show's
first season in 2011 well before the hbo
show became a worldwide sensation he
told the outlet i mean we were starving
after game of thrones i couldn't get
work it's very challenging when you have
babies and you're completely in debt
thankfully however mamoa found his
footing in hollywood when he was cast as
aquaman making his first appearance in
2016's batman vs superman dawn of
justice momoa and bonai share two kids
daughter lola who was born in 2007 and
son nakoa wolf who was born in 2008.
