After enduring heartbreak and personal transformations, Jason Momoa has found love again, and if you’ve been keeping up with Hollywood, you’ll definitely recognize his new partner. The Aquaman star made their relationship official on Instagram this past Monday, and ever since, fans and media alike have been buzzing with excitement.

While Momoa had been dropping subtle hints for a while, this official announcement may still come as a surprise to some. His romance 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 a crucial detail—Momoa and Bonet had been separated for years before that. Even though they didn’t publicly confirm their split until October 7, 2020, reports suggest they had already been living apart for over five years.

When things between Momoa and Arjona started heating 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 the past behind him, Momoa finally felt free to showcase his love for Arjona, and he did so in a grand way—posting a heartfelt Instagram update with a series of pictures from their romantic trip to Japan.

In the caption, he 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 pictures made it abundantly clear. One particularly sweet image showed Arjona resting her hand gently on Momoa’s arm while he wrapped his arms around her. Their body language spoke volumes—this was more than just a casual fling.

“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’s known that she married attorney Edgardo Canales in 2019. However, details about their split remain scarce, and it is unclear if they formally divorced or simply parted ways quietly.

Despite only recently being publicly linked to Momoa, Arjona has already become a part of his extended family. His stepdaughter, Zoë Kravitz, even selected Arjona to direct Blink Twice, an upcoming thriller starring Channing Tatum that’s set to hit theaters on August 23. This move suggests that Arjona has seamlessly integrated into the close-knit circle surrounding Momoa.

And speaking of family, 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, Momoa, Bonet, and Zoë’s father, Lenny Kravitz, will likely all be in attendance.

Momoa and Bonet’s love story was a long one. 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 away from the public eye.

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 shifting 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’s 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 their deep connection, whirlwind romance, and the support of those closest to them, this new chapter in Momoa’s life is just beginning.
