Behind The Scenes Of Jason Momoa And Lisa Bonet’s Relationship

Complementing Attire

Before we dive into what they created together, let’s talk about what was created for them! On Momoa’s official YouTube page, there is a behind-the-scenes-style video of the two getting ready and arriving at the 2019 Oscar Awards.

At the event, the smitten couple wore complementing outfits. Bonet wore a beautiful gold and light purple-pink gown, while Momoa wore a blush pink. Momoa had a custom Fendi scrunchy made for him that he wore at the after-party, but what Karl Lagerfeld made for him for the actual event was actually historical.

Momoa’s Custom-Made Suit

Momoa asked Jeanne Young, one of his stylists, if someone could make a suit to match his wife’s velvet blush pink dress. Young managed to get Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venturini Fendi two tailor-make his suit for the award ceremony and after-party.

Unfortunately, a few days after Momoa’s fitting, Lagerfeld passed away, making this suit so special since it was actually one of Lagerfeld’s last pieces he has ever created. Momoa was so appreciative of his work and was honored to wear it.

Children of Mother Earth

Long before they decided to collaborate and work together, they formed a family together. In 2007, Momoa and Bonet had their first child together, Lola Iolani. We know as Hawaiian native Momoa and nature nurturer Bonet, they have influenced their children to appreciate the earth and the world around them too.

Bonet told Porter Magazine that when someone asked their son Nakoa-Wold “Well, what is life for?” he responded, “to protect Mother Earth, of course. But God also wants to play with Mother Earth.”

Where Did Momoa Grow Up?

Although Jason Momoa is deeply connected to his heritage and was born in Hawaii, he actually grew up stateside in Iowa. He actually never thought about being an actor, he had always dreamt of being a father. And as he grew older, his connection to the world and exploring grew too.

He starts out his film, Canvas of My Life with a voice-over talking about his childhood. “I was raised in small-town America. Surrounded by hard work, cornfields, and pigs. My uncles and grandfather were the hunters and the builders of the mid-west.” It’s no wonder he has been so successful playing the role of warriors in his film!

Growing Up Fatherless

In the short film, he later talks about how great his mother was and how she introduced him to many things he loves now. Surprisingly enough, Bonet also had grown up without a father. The influence Momoa has had on her has really helped her cope with her childhood hardships.

Bonet has admitted that Momoa has filled in a void when it comes to having a male figure in her life. She told Porter Magazine, “having an absent father, then to be fully met by a man of that stature, is really incredible.”

Their First Time on Camera Together

It can be hard to differentiate professional life from personal life, but Momoa had always wanted to collaborate and work with his wife. In 2014, Jason Momoa wrote, directed, and starred in the movie Road to Paloma. Bonet played the love interest in the movie, which was surprisingly quite a challenge for the couple to shoot.

You would think that Bonet would have been the one under pressure, but Momoa told Fox News, “It was very nerve-wracking because that’s your love up there, that’s your family. And, you know, this is our first time being on camera.” What was it actually like working on screen together though?
