Jason Momoa Private Life
Jason was a partner of Simmone Jade Mackinnon.
Momoa’s personal life cannot be called stormy for romance. He has a wife named Lisa Bonet. She is 12 years older than the actor. Acquaintance took place during the filming of the multi-part project Cosby Show.
Lisa was married at the time. She also had a daughter. For a long time, Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet lived in a civil marriage. However, in 2017 it became known that the wedding had taken place. Jason and Lisa have children. The daughter’s name is Lola and the son’s name is Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo.
In his spare time, Jason goes mountain biking, often visits ski resorts. Likes to draw a lot. Before his acting career, he studied painting.
He is currently rumored to be in a relationship with Eiza González (born 1990).
Last month it was revealed that Eiza González and Jason Momoa have split after several months of discreet dating (so discreet that there is not a single photo of them together), however, this week they left the same restaurant in London.
Although Momoa and Eiza were seen leaving the after party each on their own and a few minutes apart, sources assured People that they were inside together.
The source added that the 42-year-old actor and the 32-year-old Mexican are at “different stages of life” but “hopefully they can work it out.”
The post adds that the couple still spend tim”In life, she’s where she wants to be right now and she’s very happy about it. She’ll see Jason when they’re in the same town. She keeps in touch with him,” the source added.
The insider told the magazine in May that the actors were “exclusive” and had been dating since February “after meeting through work and mutual connections.”e together and enjoy each other’s company whenever their paths cross. “Jason is a great guy. Eiza has fun hanging out with him. She’s also super focused on his career and has no intentions of complicating things.”
Jason and Eiza Gonzalez would be together again. At least that is what the images published from Guacamouly.com indicate, where they are seen walking through Malibu, Los Angeles, on the actor’s Harley Davidson, a motorcycle lover.
Surely, in part, the couple’s approach had to do with the accident suffered by the interpreter of Aquaman weeks ago on a route. Perhaps it was an excuse for the actress, from whom he had recently separated, to come closer to give her support and finally there was reconciliation.
The truth is that now, judging by the photos on Guacamouly.com , Jason Momoa and Eiza Gonzalez are a happy couple who love to go for a walk.
