Is Jason Momoa as pleasant in real life as his celebrity persona suggests?
What do the people closest to him think about the hunky star?
Here's what all of Jason Momoa's exes have said about him.
Jason Momoa may be known for his appearances in major films like "Aquaman" or dramatic
performances in series like "Game of Thrones," but outside of his acting career, he has established
a reputation for being pleasant and teddy-bear-like in his personality, which has landed him some
strong long-term relationships in his adult life.
Despite growing into one of the biggest blockbuster actors in Hollywood in recent years, the actor
has only romanced a few different women while in the public eye.
Throughout his career, Momoa has notably dated some famous leading ladies, including "Baywatch:
Hawaii" co-star Simmone MacKinnon and "The Cosby Show" actor Lisa Bonet.
And as of 2022, the actor is dating "Ambulance" and "Baby Driver" actor Eiza González.
Before we knew him as Khal Drogo in "Game of Thrones" and the superhero Aquaman, Jason
Momoa was a hunky, young lifeguard in "Baywatch: Hawaii."
The actor starred in the show from 1999 to 2001, and while on set, he met actor Simmone
Mackinnon.
Mackinnon played Allie Reese opposite Momoa's character, Jason Ioane.
The pair hit it off shortly after meeting and started dating in 1999.
They dated for years and even got engaged in 2004, but shortly after their engagement,
he met Lisa Bonet, which changed everything.
Ultimately, Mamoa and Mackinnon called it quits in 2006.
Momoa and Bonet first crossed paths at a Los Angeles jazz club in 2005, though he had his
eyes on Bonet long before meeting her.
In an interview with "The Late Late Show With James Corden," he revealed that he had a crush
on Bonet since her days on "The Cosby Show" in the 1980s.
Though Jason Momoa's innocent love for Lisa Bonet started back in his childhood, it took
just one date for Bonet to fall for him.
After their first meeting, he convinced her to drive him back to the hotel where he was
living at the time.
That night, they sat down at Cafe 101.
He explained the exchange to James Corden about how quickly it all happened.
"We sat down, yeah, and she ordered a Guinness, and that was it."
Bonet had a similar recollection of the night and revealed to Net-A-Porter just how immediate
their connection was.
Reflecting on their spontaneous dinner together, she said,
"In that moment, love came and it came big, and he did not run as I think a lot of men
do."
If anyone were to look up the definition of "alpha male" in the dictionary, we think it
would be appropriate to have Jason Momoa's name next to it.
Throughout his career, he has acted in a handful of tough-guy, kick-butt, masculine films and
shows, ranging from "Game of Thrones" to "See."
His strong, dominant movie characters aren't just for show on screen, however.
In real life, the actor is the typical outdoorsman and enjoys just about anything that involves
some dirt and elbow grease.
In a cover story by Men's Journal, Momoa shared just how much he enjoys being outside.
He told the publication,
"I've been climbing since I was 14.
Skateboarding since I was 8.
I love the outdoors, camping, I mean — obviously you saw the Airstreams.
I used to live out of that one."
Lisa Bonet discussed Mamoa's masculinity with Net-A-Porter, though she went beyond his physical
characteristics and capabilities.
Instead, the actor reflected on his personality and character, which, according to her, embodies
everything that masculinity should be.
She revealed,
"What's cool about Jason is that he's an alpha male who stands for love and family.
Jason embodies a rare form of masculinity in this day and age — he's a leader; he's
generous.
Just in terms of charisma, physique, the right use of power, responsibility, work ethic,
you can go down the line."
Though Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet appeared to be a strong, happy couple, behind the scenes,
the two were drifting apart.
In a joint statement on Instagram, the pair announced their separation in January 2022.
The post, which has since been deleted, read, in part,
"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... our devotion unwavering to this
sacred life and our Children."
Despite their split, the two are just as close as ever, with Momoa telling Access Hollywood
in March 2022 that they would remain family forever.
