ILOSM fam,’ there are some stories that are so ironic and intriguing, that we just have to share them with y’all. The story behind the relationship of ex “Cosby” kid/”Different World” actress, Lisa Bonet, and her husband-turned popular “Game of Thrones”/”Justice League” actor, Jason Momoa, is one of such stories.
First off, some pretty surprising news dropped about Mr. and Mrs. Momoa. We, here at ILOSM, and the rest of their millions of fans were shocked to learn that they were actually NOT married, until late 2017. The reason everyone thought they were married, is because Momoa has repeatedly referred to Bonet as his “wife” in public for years and she has never denied that title.
Now that Lisa (50) can officially say ‘I’s married nah!,’ her husband is like a kid in a candy store when talking about their marriage. Speaking of kids, Jason Momoa (39) revealed that he was one, when he first developed a major crush on his wife at 8 years old…however, she was a grown 19 year old woman at that time. In his first interview after their marriage news broke last year, Momoa explained on The Late Late Show with James Corden, how his crush on Lisa Bonet happened. He also revealed why he waited years later- after they had TWO kids together to be exact- to finally confess this to her. See how Momoa hilariously broke this all down below…
Jason Momoa had a plan from the beginning to get his woman, Lisa Bonet:
“Finally man. Ever since I was like, eight years old and I saw her on the TV, I was like, ‘Mommy, I want that one,'” Momoa said. “I’m like, ‘I’m going to stalk you for the rest of my life and I’m going to get you.’ I’m a full-fledged stalker,” he joked.
Why he waited years to tell Bonet about his crush on her:
“I didn’t tell her that until we had two babies, otherwise, I’d be creepy and weird,” said Momoa. “But yeah, [I’d] just always wanted to meet her. She was a queen, always.”
Momoa on how he flipped out when he finally met Lisa Bonet at a jazz club:
“We just happened to be in the right place at the right time,” he said. “I actually had dreaded my hair for her. I had dreadlocks, she had dreadlocks. … I literally turned around and I see her and she goes, ‘I’m Lisa.’ I turned around to my friend and I…” [he pretends to scream and the audience laughs hysterically]. “I had f**kin’ fireworks going off inside, man.”
What MOST Would NOT Have Expected Of Bonet
Momoa revealed he was broke and homeless when they met, but Lisa didn’t care. He explained how he was living at a hotel and didn’t have a car when he and Lisa met. He somehow convinced her to give him a ride back to his hotel, where they shared a meal at Cafe 101 and apparently she didn’t care about his lack of money, home and car, because here’s what Momoa says happened next…
“We sat down, she ordered a Guinness [beer], and that was it,” he said. “I beyond love Guinness. We had Guinness and grits and the rest is history.”
Awww, that’s a really cool love story- one that was decades in the making. Pretty sure Jason Momoa has many dudes hella envious right now. Back in the day, “Denise Huxtable” had millions of young boys wishing they could be her man and to know that there was one lucky kid who’s wish finally came true, is a story the other millions+ will now never have the opportunity to tell. As y’all can see, Lisa Bonet and her husband are crazy in love. Gotta luv it!
