Jason Momoa is married to Lisa Bonet, the actor and musician who rose to fame for her work in The Cosby Show. Momoa and Bonet officially married in 2017, but their romance actually started in 2005, well before Momoa became a Hollywood star. The two welcomed their first child together, Lola Iolani Momoa, in 2007. While Momoa likes to keep his family out of the spotlight, he has shared a few pictures of his daughter to social media over the years, gushing about how she is his “angel.”

In December 2008, Momoa and Bonet welcomed their second child together and their first son, Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa, nicknamed “Wolf” by his parents. In addition to their two children together, Momoa is a stepfather to Bonet’s daughter from her relationship with Lenny Kravitz, Zoë Kravitz. Momoa and Kravitz are very close and have been pictured together many times, although the two are only nine years apart in age. 

Jason Momoa brings stuffed animals that represent his ‘babies’ whenever he travels

Jason Momoa can’t be with his family all the time, but he makes sure to bring something that reminds him of them when he travels. As he revealed in a recent interview with GQ, he likes to bring stuffed animals representing his two young children wherever he goes. “Listen, if you have babies, you know, you got stuffed animals,” Momoa said in the video interview, holding up two small stuffed animals, dubbed “Pig” and “Potato.”

“And if you’re not with your babies, then you’re gonna be cuddling stuffed animals,” Momoa continued. “I think it’s a little too personal. So unfortunately I won’t get into the stories ’cause that’s just for me and my family.  But it’s… it’s… Yeah, I travel…Got to have Pig and Potato.”
