Jason Momoa is officially single!
Unsurprisingly, there are already some candidates for his next sweetheart!
But who will it be?
An old “Game of Thrones” co-star?
A model?
An on-screen lover?
Keep watching to hear our best guesses!
Jason Momoa and Emilia Clarke starred on HBO's "Game of Thrones" as Khal Drogo and Daenerys
Targaryen, respectively, back in 2011.
Any fan of the show knows how compelling and tragic their love story was.
Nevertheless, as a quick refresher, Drogo was a brute who became a lovable, devoted
partner to Daenerys, only to die at the end of Season 1.
Hey, what did anyone expect?
If you started to like anyone in "GoT," they were pretty much guaranteed to get killed
off.
Well, fans grew fond of the actors in real life, too.
The pair stayed close over the years, with Clarke even telling Rolling Stone in 2017
about their first introduction.
Clarke explained that she entered the hotel absolutely wiped out after a day of travel.
She added,
"From the other side of this enormous lobby, I hear 'Wifey!'
And this huge Hawaiian man comes bounding over to me, picks me up and ... gets me in
a rugby tackle to the floor."
Clarke then turned to Momoa and said, quote, "'Who are you?'"
Sounds about right!
In August 2021, both shared photos on Instagram of their reunion at a birthday party for "GoT"
showrunner David Benioff.
Momoa captioned his post,
"MOON OF MY LIFE.
you are wonderful love u forever."
The photo featured a pic of Clarke sitting on his lap.
Obviously, the comments section went wild.
Amber Heard starred alongside Jason Momoa in the 2018 DC Comics film "Aquaman," in which
she played his titular character's love interest, Mera.
Following her contentious split from Johnny Depp, some fans rallied to have her booted
from "Aquaman 2," but that simply wasn't going to happen.
As Heard, who identifies as bisexual, explained to The Sunday Times in 2015,
"I never thought I would get married.
But I've always loved who I've loved."
Well, some fans may feel it's time for her to love Momoa, especially since the duo bonded
on the set of the first of these aquatic action movies.
Heard said on "Good Morning America" in 2018,
"I love Jason.
We had so much fun together."
Although later Heard joked,
"He is allergic to being ignored."
She explained that she often reads during downtime in between filming scenes, but Momoa
instead wanted to gab and goof off with her.
Apparently, he took matters into his own hands, as Heard explained,
"He adopted this method of ripping out the pages of my book so I would pay attention
to him [...] It would drive me crazy, because I'd have 30 pages left, and it'd be gone."
“Ya know, I just learned something very interesting.”
Hey, at least Heard already knows what kinds of shenanigans Momoa likes to get up to.
Nathalie Emmanuel joined the "Game of Thrones" cast in Season 3 as Missandei, close companion
to Emilia Clarke's Daenerys Targaryen.
Of course, since Jason Momoa's Khal Drogo got lobbed off by the end of Season 1, the
two didn't overlap in their "GoT" careers.
Even still, the cast has remained close.
Plus, during a 2017 appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", Emmanuel admitted to being obsessed
with the fantasy show before landing the spot, so she was well aware of Momoa.
And since he's clearly still close with the cast, we can surmise he's also aware of her.
The two have something else in common: They're both major contenders for the sexiest people
alive.
FHM put Emmanuel on its list for "100 sexiest women in the world 2015."
She ranked in at 75.
Meanwhile, Momoa was suggested as a nomination by John Legend, who was dubbed People magazine's
"Sexiest Man Alive" in 2019.
Legend told People in 2020,
"Going by my Twitter mentions when I was named of who people said should have been picked
over me, I got a lot of Jason Momoa.
That's the one person that stood out in the Twitter feedback."
In addition to potentially bonding over their placement on these lists, Emmanuel also looks
like a blast to hang out with, judging from her Instagram presence.
We know Momoa's a wild child himself, so we think these two would have so much fun.
Sharon Duncan-Brewster was the treasure of "Dune," where she played Dr. Liet-Kynes alongside
Jason Momoa's Duncan Idaho.
Duncan-Brewster had a lot to say about the first time she met Momoa, namely about how
tall he was.
Girl, keep talking!
She told ComicBook in October 2021, "I had my first scene with Jason Momoa [...] [He]
comes out of his car with his entourage, and he walks towards me.
And he's walking at me from a distance, but then he gets bigger, and then he gets bigger,
and I just was like, 'Is this going to stop?'"
Duncan-Brewster had to add in the midst of this,
"He's a lovely guy."
This seems to be the universal consensus, and this experience of getting to know Momoa
made Duncan-Brewster understand all the hype surrounding the star.
She went on,
"So I'm looking up here [...] and going, 'Oh, this is what they're talking about,' because
all my friends are like, 'Oh my gosh, Jason Momoa, Jason Momoa, Jason Momoa.'"
Sounds like a chant we can get behind.
Jason Momoa and Sylvia Hoeks co-starred in the 2019 Apple TV drama series "See," a sci-fi
production that chronicles a post-apocalyptic experience where everyone has lost their sight.
Momoa, who plays the character Baba Voss, is at odds with Hoeks' onscreen persona, Queen
Kane.
But offscreen, it's pretty evident how much Hoeks admires Momoa.
In a 2019 interview with Collider, she was clearly impressed with his performance on
set, saying,
"When you see Jason fighting ... the fights are very real."
Prior to her starring on "See," Hoeks spoke with Men's Journal about some of her favorite
things.
When asked about what makes a man sexy in her eyes, Hoeks said,
"Self-humor — don't take yourself too seriously.
If a man's able to laugh about himself, that's good.
You can be in love with a man, or share his bed, but if there's no humor, there's nothing."
Judging by Momoa's many goofy interviews, he has no trouble laughing at himself.
"I like him.
He's a good boy.
Where is he?"
In the same interview, Hoeks also spoke about starring in "Blade Runner 2049" and how she
prepared physically, revealing,
"I worked out like crazy for this movie!
Six hours a day, six days a week, for three months before and six months during shooting."
Clearly, she and action star Momoa could crush it together.
Indigenous Canadian actor Jessica Matten starred alongside Jason Momoa in the Netflix series
"Frontier," a vivid portrayal of the fur trade industry in Canada.
Momoa played Declan Harp while Matten portrayed Sokanon.
The role was very significant to Matten, who told Real Style Network in 2017,
"In a lot of ways, with the show and this character, I feel like I'm helping play a
part in showing justice in what it means to be an [Indigenous] woman.
Even if it's a character in the 1800s, I feel like the role has helped humanize the experience
of being an Indigenous person in North America."
Not only was the part worthwhile, but it also put her in contact with Momoa.
When asked what it was like to work with him, Matten made mention of his then-marriage to
Lisa Bonet, adding,
"He has just been super supportive and a joy to work with.
He is such a leader.
He is very giving and a big family man [...] He is all around a good guy and full of energy."
Momoa and Matten have also stayed in contact since "Frontier's" 2018 conclusion.
In 2020, she told Elle,
"My buddy Jason Momoa is back in town shooting the second season of his show.
[...] So I'll meet up with him to say 'hi,' grab drinks with friends and then peace out
again."
That same year, she shared a birthday tribute to her former co-star on Instagram.
Regina King and Jason Momoa both know what it takes to play DC superheroes: King starred
as Angela Abar/Sister Night in the TV series "Watchmen," while Momoa has obviously played
"Aquaman."
King was born in 1971, making her eight years older than Momoa, but based on his dating
history, we doubt this would ever be a problem for him.
The two also got to hang out while on "The Graham Norton Show" along with Emilia Clarke
in 2019, where King joked of their multiple connections,
"We have six degrees going on in so many different ways."
Later during the episode, the panel spoke about Momoa shaving off his beard for "Dune,"
and King was all about it.
She said that Momoa going fresh-faced would work because he has a good chin.
"Because some beards are on because they're hiding a tiny chin."
"Alright, Regina, I think we've heard enough."
Although she seems to be single at the moment, Momoa might have some healthy competition.
While appearing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in 2019, King said that she got to meet her celeb
crush once — who was not, in fact, Momoa, but rather Sam Elliott.
She said while smiling big,
"Oh my God, I love that man."
“And the mustache is real.
It’s just like — it’s perfect.”
Sounds like Momoa better act fast!
French actor Pom Klementieff is another leading lady we could see dating Jason Momoa.
The two have a round-about connection through "Guardians of the Galaxy," with Klementieff
playing Mantis in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
"This gross bug lady is my new friend.
I'm learning many things, like I'm a pet, and ugly."
Conversely, Momoa once auditioned for a part in the first "Guardians" movie, telling Entertainment
Weekly in 2018,
"I met the Russo brothers, who are amazing.
It was one of the best meetings I've ever had.
I was going to do something with them, which unfortunately didn't work out."
But that one hiccup didn't stop Momoa from later landing the part of Aquaman, and the
rest is history.
Meanwhile, Klementieff spoke at the first sequel's premiere and said it was a dream
come true to get cast as Mantis.
She added,
"I'm a little bit weird in the movie, which is cool."
Momoa and Klementieff were actually both at the 2017 Denver ComicCon where their respective
events for "Aquaman," "Game of Thrones," and "Guardians of the Galaxy" were held on the
same days.
So, we have reason to believe they might have crossed paths at some point.
If not, they definitely should soon.
Rose McGowan famously gave Jason Momoa a big smooch right on the lips on the red carpet.
The kiss occurred at the Los Angeles premiere for "Conan the Barbarian," a 2011 film starring
Momoa as, you guessed it, Conan, while McGowan played an evil sorceress.
McGowan caught up with Complex to discuss how their version was different from the 1982
film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and she felt that Momoa was a major reason for its
success.
She explained,
"Our movie goes more into the overall mythology of 'Conan,' versus it being just an ordinary
remake [...] The guy who was [the] creator of the original character, Robert E. Howard,
died when he was 30, I believe, but I think he would be immensely pleased with this version,
and with Jason Momoa being cast as Conan, because he wrote the character to be an authentic
barbarian.
I think we've found that."
Clearly, McGowan thought very highly of Momoa.
The two fought each other in the film, which typically makes for a little fun offscreen.
Even though the movie itself was considered cheesy at best, well, most people thought
the same about the Schwarzenegger ones.
"Enough talk!"
The New York Times had some nice things to say about McGowan's portrayal and her onscreen
feud with Momoa,
"She's pretty and pretty ridiculous, but the digital sandmen her character summons up to
fight Conan, which burst out of the ground like rockets and explode into dust, are nifty."
So, there you have it.
Nifty.
Just like an offscreen relationship between these two would be.
We believe Australian model Jessica Gomes has what it takes to create a promising relationship
with Jason Momoa.
The two worked together on the 2017 film "Once Upon a Time in Venice," where Momoa played
Spyder and Gomes was Nola — aka Bruce Willis' onscreen love interest.
Gomes herself joked with The Daily Telegraph about the age gap represented here, saying,
"Yes, he's 60, he's my dad's age, so that was pretty full-on.
I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I'm with Bruce Willis right now and we're making out.'"
Based on her comments, she'd likely be more comfortable with somebody a bit younger.
These days, the Aussie beauty likes to keep busy with beach days and loads of time in
nature, just based on her Instagram presence.
So clearly, she and Momoa seem to have lots in common.
In fact, Momoa is a huge fan of the land Down Under.
While he told The Daily Telegraph how fond he is of the food and booze there, his favorite
part of the country is its residents.
Momoa said,
"What makes Australia so beautiful I think is just the people.
The great people who work hard and play hard and they ... have a great outlook on life."
Clearly, in this sense, Gomes fits the bill.
