LOS ANGELES (AP) — After 18 years together, actress Lisa Bonet has filed for divorce from actor Jason Momoa. Bonet, 56, whose legal name is Lilakoi Moon, submitted the divorce documents in Los Angeles County court on Monday. The filing comes nearly two years since the couple announced their separation.
Citing irreconcilable differences, the petition states that neither Bonet nor Momoa will seek financial support and that they have agreed on the division of their assets. The documents also stipulate joint custody of their 16-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son.
Momoa, best known for his roles in the “Aquaman” movies and “Game of Thrones,” and Bonet, a star of “The Cosby Show” and its spinoff “A Different World,” met in 2005 but legally married in 2017. The divorce documents cite their separation date as October 2020, more than a year before their official announcement. The divorce will likely take at least six months to be finalized.
This marriage was Momoa’s first and Bonet’s second. She was previously married to musician Lenny Kravitz and has a daughter, actor Zoë Kravitz, with him.
The couple’s split marks the end of an 18-year relationship that began in 2005. Both actors have enjoyed successful careers, with Momoa’s iconic portrayals in the “Aquaman” franchise and “Game of Thrones,” and Bonet’s memorable roles in “The Cosby Show,” “A Different World,” and films like “High Fidelity” and “Enemy of the State.”
Bonet’s decision to file for divorce after nearly two decades together comes as a surprise to many, but the couple has assured an amicable split, agreeing on the terms of asset division and custody of their children.
No further details or statements have been released by either Bonet or Momoa regarding the divorce. The court process is expected to take several months before an official declaration of their divorce is made.
In summary, Lisa Bonet, known for her roles in “The Cosby Show” and “A Different World,” has filed for divorce from actor Jason Momoa. The couple, who had been together for 18 years, officially separated in October 2020 and have since reached an agreement on the division of assets and custody of their children. This is Momoa’s first marriage and Bonet’s second, having previously been married to musician Lenny Kravitz. The divorce proceedings are expected to take several months before being finalized.
