Jason Momoa has found love again after enduring heartbreak, and if you’ve been keeping up with Hollywood, you’ll definitely recognize his new partner. The Aquaman star made his relationship official on Instagram this past Monday, and ever since, fans and media outlets have been buzzing with excitement.
While Momoa had been dropping subtle hints about his romance for a while, this confirmation still came as a surprise to many. His relationship with 32-year-old actress Adria Arjona had been developing behind the scenes for quite some time.
The 44-year-old actor first met Arjona on the set of the 2021 Netflix film Sweet Girl. At the time, he was still legally married to Lisa Bonet, but there’s an important distinction—Momoa and Bonet had been separated for years before their official announcement. Although they didn’t publicly confirm their split until October 7, 2020, reports suggest they had been living apart for more than five years.
By the time Momoa and Arjona’s relationship began to heat up, there was no overlap with his marriage. Bonet later filed for divorce on January 8 of this year, and their separation was finalized amicably the very next day. With his past relationship now behind him, Momoa was ready to showcase his love for Arjona in a big way—posting a heartfelt Instagram update featuring a series of photos from their romantic trip to Japan.
In the caption, Momoa affectionately referred to Arjona as “mi amor,” a Spanish term of endearment meaning “my love.” And if there was any doubt about the seriousness of their relationship, the photos made it abundantly clear. One particularly sweet image showed Arjona gently resting her hand on Momoa’s arm while he wrapped his arms around her. Their body language spoke volumes—this was more than just a casual romance.
“Japan, you are a dream come true; you blew my mind,” Momoa wrote. “We are so grateful to everyone who welcomed us into their homes, allowing us to create beautiful memories with both old and new friends. Another unforgettable adventure with my love. Motorcycles, chaos, and endless joy on the road. Much love, J.”
Arjona’s romantic past has been far more private than Momoa’s, but it is known that she married attorney Edgardo Canales in 2019. However, details about their split remain unclear, and it is unknown whether they officially divorced or simply parted ways quietly.
Despite only recently making their relationship public, Arjona has already become a part of Momoa’s extended circle. His stepdaughter, Zoë Kravitz, even selected Arjona to direct Blink Twice, an upcoming thriller starring Channing Tatum that is set to hit theaters on August 23. This decision suggests that Arjona has seamlessly integrated into the close-knit group surrounding Momoa.
Additionally, there’s another big event on the horizon—Kravitz and Tatum’s wedding. The two recently got engaged, and Hollywood is expecting a lavish, star-studded affair. Given their deep connections, it’s likely that Momoa, Bonet, and Zoë’s father, Lenny Kravitz, will all be in attendance.
Momoa and Bonet’s love story spanned over a decade. After 13 years together, they tied the knot in October 2017. They share two children, 16-year-old Lola and 15-year-old Nakoa-Wolf, whom they continue to co-parent privately.
Their separation came as a shock to fans. In January 2022, they announced their split in a now-deleted Instagram post. Their joint statement explained that, like many, they had been deeply affected by the changing times.
“We’ve all experienced the pressure and adjustments of these revolutionary times… A revolution is taking place, and our family is not an exception,” the statement read. “We are feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring. Therefore, we announce to our family that we are divorcing. We disclose this not because we believe it to be noteworthy, but rather so that we can live honorably and truthfully as we go about our daily lives.”
Though the breakup was undoubtedly painful, it is clear that Momoa has found happiness again. His relationship with Arjona appears to be thriving, and from the looks of it, they’re ready to take on life’s adventures together. With a strong connection, a whirlwind romance, and the support of their close friends and family, this new chapter in Momoa’s life is just beginning.
