We Were Rooting For You: Lisa Bonet Files For Divorce From Actor-Husband
In a not-so-surprising turn of events, Lisa Bonet (56) has officially filed for divorce from her 44-year-old actor-husband. This comes almost exactly two years after the couple announced their breakup (hence, our non-surprise), leaving fans wondering about the status of their relationship.
According to new court documents, Bonet is seeking joint physical and legal custody of she and soon-to-be ex-husband, Jason Momoa’s two children, Lola and Nakoa-Wolf, who are now 16 and 15 years old, respectively. What’s interesting is that Bonet listed the date of separation as October 7, 2020, which is a year and a half before they made the announcement that they were no longer together.
Bonet and Momoa’s love story began in 2005, and after more than a decade of dating, they secretly tied the knot in October 2017. However, in January 2022, the couple shared on Instagram that they were going through a “transformational” time in their lives and were parting ways in marriage. Despite the separation, they made it clear that their love for each other continued.
Now, Bonet is taking the step to officially axe their marriage. Despite the divorce, Bonet and Momoa insist on maintaining a strong co-parenting relationship and prioritize the well-being of their kids.
As y’all know, this isn’t Bonet’s first time ’round the block in the divorce arena. She was previously married to rock legend, Lenny Kravitz, with whom she shares their actress-daughter Zoë Kravitz. As for Momoa, the “Aquaman” star has reportedly been back in the dating field, following his split from Lisa.
While fans may have hoped for a reconciliation between Bonet and Momoa, Jason clarified, in a prior interview with “Access Hollywood,” that they are not getting back together. He emphasized that they are family and will be there for each other for the long haul, especially for the sake of their beautiful children.
The news of Lisa Bonet’s divorce filing may be a downer for their many fans who once viewed their loving relationship as ‘couples goals’… but unfortunately, it’s a reminder that even seemingly ‘perfect’ relationships can sometimes face challenges. Even the late, great actors/couple, Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee once schooled us on that.
