Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet's teenage daughter
is making key creative contributions to her dad's movies. In fact, the entire clan is
already making their mark on the world, and these famous parents couldn't be prouder. Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa met in 2004
— but before then, she was married to singer/songwriter Lenny Kravitz from 1987
to 1993. One year after tying the knot, they welcomed their daughter Zoë Isabella. It
was unexpected, but Zoë's birth ended up being a turning point for both of her parents — especially
Bonet, who once admitted in an interview, "Having Zoë saved my life. It was
my wake-up call. There were so many things I didn't want to pass on to her,
so I really made a decision to change." After getting divorced, Bonet and
Kravitz remained amicable co-parents. Nearly two decades after Zoë Kravitz was born,
Lisa Bonet became a mom once again when she and Jason Momoa welcomed a daughter named Lola Iolani.
For Momoa especially, this was a dream come true. "Ever since I was a little boy,
I always wanted to be a father." Momoa was in Canada in July 2007 when Bonet's
water broke a little earlier than they expected, so he pulled all the strings he could
to fly back to the United States and made it to his wife's side just in
time. As he revealed to Esquire, "I had about two hours with her in
the tub, and my baby girl was born." Fast-forward to the 2020s, and now Lola is
a teenager with a father who's terrified of her burgeoning love life. As he
admitted to Men's Health in 2020, "I'm not going to do well with it. I'll just
hate it if she brings home some dips--- bad boy. I'm like, 'If you find a man who treats
you better than I [treat your mom], good luck!'" "Lola is a saint. She is gonna be a nun." It wasn't long after welcoming Lola that
Momoa and Bonet expanded their family, as their son Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha
arrived in December 2008. Wolfie, as he's affectionately known, has unlocked a new side of
his dad. Jason Momoa grew up without his own dad, as his parents split up soon after he was born,
so he didn't have the benefit of a fatherly role model. But naturally, he still wants to do
right by his son: he admitted to InStyle in 2020, "I didn't know what it takes to be a dad.
And I don't want to just tell my son, 'Because I said so.' I really want to connect,
and I want him to be vulnerable and open." It seems that Jason Momoa may have just hacked the code to being a cool stepdad. As
he revealed to Men's Health in 2020, "I love her husband. I love her
dad. I hope and pray my daughter is that talented and loving and
open and close to her family." Momoa and Zoë Kravitz are so close that they
even have matching tattoos in the form of a French phrase that translates to "always be
drunk." Even amidst his separation from her mom, Momoa's love for his stepdaughter remains.
While attending the New York premiere of 2022's The Batman to support her as she played
Catwoman, he told Entertainment Tonight, "We're just so proud [...] We're very excited to
just be here [...] It's still family, you know?" "So it's really exciting to see, like, her
on this big screen playing a superhero." Even though they're only teenagers, Lola
and Wolfie Momoa have already made several notable red carpet appearances alongside
their parents and big sister. They also reportedly spend a lot of time with
their dad on his movie sets. As Jason Momoa revealed on the Australian
radio show Fitzy and Wippa in 2021, "We're doing Aquaman 2 right now, and they
can be on the set and learn the stunts and we've got some cool little surprises,
and they just love it [...] They got to be there on Justice League, and
Wolfie's wearing the cowl and she's wearing the tiara from Wonder Woman.
So I think the kids are really happy." However, Momoa doesn't exactly want
his kids to follow in his footsteps. As he admitted to Entertainment Tonight in 2021, "If they [really] want to, maybe. But I don't
want them to get into acting. It's very hard on people [...] I'm tough enough to handle it, but
I wouldn't want to put someone I love into that." "I'll try my damnedest to keep 'em out of it." Since making her onscreen acting debut
in the 2007 film No Reservations, Zoë Kravitz has continued to make her presence
felt in Hollywood. But there have also been some sacrifices and heartbreaks along the
way. One particularly stinging example was when she was turned down for The Dark
Knight Rises, as she was reportedly told that she was too "urban" for the
part. In 2022, she told The Guardian, "Being a woman of color and being
an actor and being told at that time that I wasn't able to read
because of the color of my skin, and the word urban being thrown around like that,
that was what was really hard about that moment." Eventually, though, Kravitz would get
to join the world of the Caped Crusader, as she starred as Selina Kyle, aka
Catwoman, in 2022's The Batman. When she's not busy making movies and TV shows, Zoë Kravitz has had some notable romantic
flings. From 2011 to 2013, she dated You star Penn Badgley. They lived together in New
York, but ultimately split up amicably. She then started dating actor Karl Glusman
after meeting him at a bar, and they went public with their relationship in October 2016.
Two years later, he popped the big question, and in June 2019, they tied the knot
in a secret ceremony. Alas, their time together ultimately didn't last very long, as
Kravitz filed for divorce in December 2020. Then in August 2021, it was reported that she
was dating Channing Tatum, and in late 2023, it was announced that they were engaged. They may not have the same dad, but Zoë
Kravitz has an unbreakable bond with her half-siblings Lola and Wolfie.
In addition to her acting career, Zoë fronts an electropop band called
Lolawolf, and she came up with the band's name by combining those of her brother
and sister. As she noted to Grazia in 2014, "They're six and seven so they
don't really care. Maybe one day they will but right now they don't care at all." The blended family often posts
loving photos on social media, and Zoë has frequently been spotted
hanging out in public with Lola and Wolfie. Jason Momoa is a proud native of Hawaii
who has remained strongly connected to his heritage. He was born in Honolulu, but
he moved to his mother's hometown in Iowa when he was six months old. Still, he's stayed
in touch with his roots, telling CNN in 2019, "It's my home. I'm Hawaiian. It's my nationality." That pride is evident in his son's
full name of Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha. "Nakoa" translates
to warrior, while "Namakaeha" is Jason's native Hawaiian name and means "all
knowing eyes." As for Wolfie's middle name, "Mana" means strength or spirit,
"Kaua" means rain, and "Po" means dark. In 2016, Jason Momoa employed the help
of his kids for a short film with outdoor apparel company Carhartt. Titled Canvas of
My Life, the film mirrors Momoa's real life as a father who teaches his kids to revel
in nature and find true happiness in art. "I want to give them my eyes. They will
know art. They'll paint. They'll sculpt." Similarly, Momoa celebrated Father's Day
in 2019 with another short film featuring Lola and Wolfie. Entitled Where the
Wild Stomped In, it features Jason and his kids building a motorcycle. As
the actor explained to People Magazine, "It's just really my story. It's something
that's very dear for me. And just being able to do that with my children...
I never really grew up with that." "It was just a broken motor, but it inspired a dream that taught your
father to share this moment with you." Jason Momoa's Hollywood responsibilities keep him
plenty busy, but he also always makes sure he has time for his family. While his relationship with
Lisa Bonet has been largely private, Momoa takes a somewhat different approach when it comes to
his kids, as they're all over his social media. On Lola's eleventh birthday in 2018, Momoa
shared some pictures of her and declared that the day she was born was the greatest
day of his life. And even on non-birthdays, he doesn't hold back from letting the
world know how much his kids mean to him, like one time in August 2017
when he wrote on Instagram, "I simply love you more than I love life itself." And when his stepdaughter hosted Saturday
Night Live in March 2022, he declared, "I am so proud of you! You killed it!" Being the dad of a teenage daughter is an
often complicated and challenging experience, and Jason Momoa has made it abundantly clear
that he's no exception. He's mentioned in multiple interviews that he hasn't exactly
been looking forward to his daughter Lola potentially bringing home less-than-desirable
boyfriends, but that doesn't mean that he isn't eager to continue spending time with her.
And it sounds like the feeling is mutual. That was evident in November 2022, when Lola
admitted to spending a lot of time with her famous father on the set of his Netflix fantasy
flick Slumberland. She wasn't just there for moral support, as it turned out that she also
made a rather important creative contribution. "Me and my friends choreographed a
dance routine to 'Don't Start Now' by Dua Lipa and then my dad loved the
dance, and so he put it in the movie." Some teenagers might be embarrassed
whenever their parents dance, but Lola Momoa was perfectly willing to let
millions of viewers watch her dad bust a move. In January 2022, Jason Momoa
and Lisa Bonet announced their separation. As they revealed in
a joint statement on Instagram, "We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these
transformational times. A revolution is unfolding, and our family is [...] feeling and growing
from the seismic shifts occurring. And so we share our family news that we
are parting ways in marriage." It wasn't until January 2024, though, that
Bonet officially filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. Shortly afterwards,
the divorce proceedings were finalized, with the two actors granted joint legal custody of
their two children. According to court documents, it was determined that Bonet and Momoa would
share the living expenses of Lola and Wolfie, as well as all expenses relating to
their health, education, and welfare. However, in the case of vacations with one parent, that parent would be expected to solely
bear the cost of the trip. Additionally, neither Bonet nor Momoa requested child
or spousal support from the other. Navigating a divorce can be difficult,
but for Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet, it doesn't seem like too much has changed. While
Bonet has mostly remained out of the spotlight since the separation, it definitely appears that
Momoa has remained just as close as he always was to his two kids. In December 2023, he opened up
about the holiday season when he told E! News, "I'm always on the road. So I'm just going home
and being with my babies. I'll go climbing, be with my kids, see friends and
family, and just eat. Relax." In January 2024, one day after the divorce
was finalized, Momoa attended a Los Angeles showing of the environmental documentary
Common Ground alongside Lola and Wolfie. Momoa has also maintained a close relationship
with his now-former stepdaughter. Following the news of Zoë Kravitz's engagement to Channing
Tatum, a source close to the family confirmed to People Magazine that Momoa was ecstatic
for the couple. As the insider revealed, "The engagement was happy news for
Jason. He loves both Channing and Zoë. He thinks they are a great couple.
Jason is their biggest supporter."
