From Lisa Bonet to Lilakoi Moon to Lisa Bonet

From Lisa Bonet to Lilakoi Moon to Lisa Bonet

Divorce is one of the most emotionally stressful events someone can go through. But Bonet was strong enough to take the time she needed to heal, and part of her personal process included her renaming herself to Lilakoi Moon.When it comes down to acting, though, she goes by “Lisa Bonet”.

She explained to Entertainment News that, “for me, it’s not about creating or building a career anymore, you know?” She continued, “my desire to participate in the business is not to make more crap so I’m really content … I have a desire to create more film, more beauty, more art, more love—but I don’t feel desperate.”

Jason Momoa had his own soul-searching phase he went through before marrying Lisa Bonet. In fact, that was how he ended up acting, too. He had a crave to explore the world and, as he mentions in his film Canvas of My Life, “I packed up my life and put it on my back; free to wander.

Everywhere from Tibet to France, Italy, Japan, everywhere USA.” He declared his travels made him “a student of life.” His wanderlust guided him to the path that led him to acting, and eventually, that path led him to capture his Lisa Bonet—which also led to his two beautiful children.

By now, it should be no surprise that Bonet and Momoa share many views and values, and one of their core values relates to how they want to raise their children.

Momoa is determined to help his kids find “their soul” and “expression of self” and to appreciate mother nature. He has been actively opening his kids to different activities like painting, rock climbing, music, and skateboarding. And Lisa Bonet is all for this!

Bonet expressed some intense inner strength while she was going through her separation from Kravitz. When discussing the hardship of divorce, Bonet stated, “I think there are probably times when these thresholds can either sink you, or you can see who you are and rise and dust yourself off.”

But, she has proven to be a fierce woman with strong emotional health and it makes sense that Bonet and Momoa chose such a powerful name for their son. According to Times Magazine, Bonet has gone into labor during a stormy night. This influenced them to give him the full name of “Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa”, meaning “stormy warrior”.

Although Momoa was probably shorter than Bonet when he first fell in love at age eight, he eventually caught up and surpassed her. By a lot. Sometimes it’s hard to tell on television just how big of a height difference there is due to camera angles, but Momoa stands over a foot taller than her!

He is a whopping 6’4” while she is a petite 5’2”. But it’s clear that their age and height are just numbers they can’t control.

As actors, taking part in steamy love scenes is just the name of the game. Yet Momoa told Entertainment Tonight Canada that he cannot watch Bonet’s romantic scenes, explaining, “I just don’t really want to see certain things … I love her, it’s our job, but I’ve gotta [separate it].”

On the other hand, Bonet once secretly watched Momoa’s love scene with Emilia Clarke in Game Of Thrones and called it “amazing.” And believe it or not, without Momoa’s encouragement, Bonet’s career path would have been completely different.
