Exes Unite: Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet Celebrate Daughter's Milestone

There’s a particular kind of grace that shows up when people who’ve moved on still show up for their kids. On Friday, June 5, at California State University in Los Angeles, Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet proved they’ve mastered it—reuniting to celebrate their daughter Lola’s high school graduation in a display of co-parenting solidarity that’s become increasingly rare in Hollywood.

The moment itself was textbook feel-good: Momoa, 46, dressed sharp in a pink button-down, cream pants, and matching beret, flanked Lola on one side while Bonet, 58, radiated warmth in a cream and orange dress with balloon sleeves on the other. Lola stood between them in her white graduation gown, draped in traditional Hawaiian leis stacked around her neck and hanging from her arms—a beautiful visual of family, regardless of the changed circumstances that brought them to this point.

What made it even more human: in the parking lot before the ceremony, Momoa helped his daughter arrange those leis while stealing a kiss on her cheek. And then there was Lola’s graduation cap with its cheeky inscription:“Hold my poodle,”a callback to 2004’s White Chicks. The kind of personal touch that reminds you these are real people navigating real milestones, not just tabloid fodder.

This reunion carries weight because it’s genuinely uncommon. Momoa and Bonet announced their split in January 2022 after four years of marriage—though they’d been together for 13 years prior, welcoming Lola in July 2007 and son Nakoa-Wolf in December 2008. The split was handled with dignity; they released a joint statement acknowledging“transformational times”and asked for privacy as they parted ways. Two years later, Bonet filed for divorce in January 2024, and the exes reached a settlement just one day after filing. They agreed to share custody of both kids with no child support or spousal support exchanged.

That kind of clean break doesn’t always translate to warm reunions years down the line. But here’s the thing: Momoa has shown up for Bonet’s family before. In March 2022, just two months after their separation announcement, he attended the premiere of The Batman for Bonet’s daughter Zoë Kravitz (whom Bonet shares with ex-husband Lenny Kravitz), bringing Lola and Nakoa-Wolf along.“It’s still family, you know?”he told Entertainment Tonight. Apparently, he meant it.

These days, Momoa has moved on with actress Adria Arjona, going public with their relationship in May 2024. Bonet, for her part, has kept a lower profile since the divorce. Yet when it comes to their kids’big moments, the message is clear: past relationships don’t erase present responsibilities or the bonds that matter most. That’s the real headline here.
