Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet Reunite to Celebrate Daughter’s High School Graduation

Former Couple Shows United Front at Daughter’s Milestone

Jason Momoa and ex-wife Lisa Bonet reunited this week for a major family milestone. The former couple came together on Friday, June 4, to honor Lola Iolani Momoa during her high school graduation ceremony at California State University in Los Angeles. Photos from the ceremony show both actors smiling alongside their 18-year-old daughter, marking a rare public appearance together since they finalized their divorce in 2024. Their reunion demonstrates that family bonds can endure beyond the end of a romantic relationship.

The Aquaman star wore a pink button-down shirt, cream pants and a matching beret for the special occasion. Bonet, meanwhile, opted for a cream and orange dress with balloon sleeves, wearing her hair in a half-up, half-down style. Lola wore a white graduation gown over a green floral dress, with traditional Hawaiian leis stacked around her neck and hanging from her arms. The proud parents flanked their daughter in pictures, united by their pride in her achievement.

Before the ceremony began, Momoa helped Lola arrange several leis around her neck in a parking lot. The Hawaii-born actor leaned in and gave his daughter a kiss on the cheek before her big moment. The graduation accessories carried special significance, reflecting both a longstanding graduation tradition and Lola‘s Hawaiian heritage through her father’s roots.

Graduation Day Brought Personal Touches and Humor

Lola added a playful element to her graduation cap. The inscription read “Hold my poodle,” a tongue-in-cheek reference to the early aughts comedy White Chicks from 2004. The detail showed the new graduate’s personality and sense of humor on her important day. Her parents appeared relaxed and happy as they joined family members in celebrating the occasion.

The pair also shares a younger son named Nakoa-Wolf, who was born in 2008. Momoa also became a prominent presence in the life of Bonet‘s older daughter, Zoë Kravitz, from Bonet‘s previous marriage to Lenny Kravitz. Together, they built a blended family that has remained closely connected despite the end of Momoa and Bonet‘s marriage.

A Relationship That Spanned Nearly Two Decades

The couple’s relationship began in 2005 after they met through mutual friends in Los Angeles. Years earlier, Momoa had famously recalled developing a childhood crush on Bonet after watching her on The Cosby Show. The actors were considered one of Hollywood’s buzziest couples during their time together. They tied the knot in October 2017 after being together for 13 years, keeping the ceremony secret at the time.

The couple announced their separation in January 2022 after five years of marriage and nearly two decades together. They framed the decision as part of a period of personal growth and change affecting their entire family. Their intention was to move forward with dignity and honesty while maintaining their commitment to their children.

“We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times … A revolution is unfolding ~ and our family is of no exception … feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring,” Momoa and Bonet wrote via Instagram in January 2022. “And so ~ We share our Family news ~ That we are parting ways in marriage.”

Setting the Record Straight on Their Relationship Status

While rumors swirled that the pair was in the process of reconciling, Momoa set the record straight on the Oscars red carpet in 2022. He clarified their status while emphasizing their continued family connection. The actor made clear they had not gotten back together romantically, but stressed that they remain a family with two beautiful children. Their priority focuses on maintaining stability and unity for Lola and Nakoa-Wolf.

Momoa also demonstrated his continued connection to the extended family. Two months after the split announcement, he attended Zoë Kravitz‘s premiere for The Batman in March 2022. He told Entertainment Tonight that he and the family were proud of Zoë‘s accomplishment, noting that Lisa could not attend. His presence showed his ongoing role as a supportive figure in the blended family’s life.

A Message About Evolving Love and Family Devotion

The statement Momoa and Bonet shared during their split emphasized their commitment to their children’s well-being. They wanted to teach their children what becomes possible when parents remain present and united despite romantic changes. The message underscored that their devotion to their children and their sacred life together would continue.

“The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived,” they wrote. “We set each other free to be who we are learning to be. What remains is our unwavering devotion to this sacred life and to our children. Teaching them what is possible. And that love must prevail.”

Their approach to co-parenting reflects a growing trend among Hollywood couples who prioritize family unity over marital status. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have turned their famous “conscious uncoupling” into a model of family collaboration. They continue to spend time together with their children, Apple and Moses. Similarly, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have often presented a united front in raising their three children, despite being divorced.

Family Success Depends on Parental Presence

The graduation celebration demonstrates that a family’s success depends on the parents’ ability to remain present and united for their children. Momoa and Bonet‘s appearance together at this milestone event shows they continue to honor the commitment they made when they announced their separation. Their decision to share this moment publicly reinforces the message that love can evolve while family bonds endure. It provides a powerful example of mature co-parenting in the public eye.

The photos from Lola‘s graduation capture genuine smiles and pride from both parents. More than anything, the images show a family that has successfully navigated the transition from marriage to co-parenting partnership. Their ability to come together for their daughter’s achievement speaks to the strength of their shared commitment. The love they built over nearly two decades has transformed rather than disappeared, creating a foundation that continues to support their children through life’s important moments.
