The great love story between Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa began in 2005
The couple started dating in 2005 following meeting through mutual friends at a jazz club. While on the Late Late Show with James Corden, 43, Momoa talked regarding his first date with Bonet and said, “We were just in the right place at the right time.”
“I dyed my hair for her. I had dreadlocks, she had dreadlocks. I literally turned around and saw her and she said, ‘I’m Lisa.’ I turned to my girlfriend and pretended to scream. I got fucking fireworks going on, man, “he said. The two eventually met for dinner. “We sat down, she ordered a Guinness and that was it,” he added. “I adore Guinness. We had Guinness and grits and the rest is history”.
The couple had their first child, Lola, in July 2007 and their second child, Nakoa Wolf, was born in December 2008. Lisa Bonet is also the mother of Zoë Kravitz (33), whom she got with her ex-husband Lenny Kravitz (57). Although Momoa and Bonet were initially believed to have married in November 2007, the couple did not tie the knot until October 2017.
